When Ara Karamanian, M.D. contacted me for work, the big project he wanted to work with me on was a children's magazine aimed towards the Armenian Orthodox Christian community. He began by showing me beautiful and ancient Armenian manuscripts decorated lavishly with illustrations. It immediately got my attention and I was on-board. Not being Armenian nor Orthodox Christian, I had a lot to learn about their culture, traditions, and even their language. I have tried hard to incorporate as much of their culture into the design and illustration of this magazine. Since then, we have created five issues of the magazine and I continue to work on illustration content for future issues. I have created all elements of the design and have illustrated the whole magazine myself. Dr. Karamanian, his wife, and members of his community have provided the content.
