Highly recommended. In Bangalore, I read through Jayaprakash’s two collections in a matter of days. Had never read anything like them.

Hi hi, I’m Davis and this is my art 👋

Me, a man with white skin and blue eyes, short brown hair, in a black hoodie. Smiling.

Digital drawing with traditional appearance. A woman in a loosely fitting dress that covers everything but her neck up and forearms to hands. Her hands are clasped. Her hair is blowing upward and entwined with planets and stars. Her head is upturned and peaceful. She's part of everything and distinct.

Digital illustration with a traditional appearance of purple and yellow-orange hues on canvas. The setting is Clocktown, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A low view of Link stepping away cautiously while looking up past the clocktower at the massive and menacing moon that will soon crash down on Termina.

Digital drawing with a traditional appearance on yellowed paper. A reimagining of banjo-kazooie in a sketchy and rough style. A bear wearing an oversized blue backpack and yellow shorts. A small red bird sits on top of the backpack.

Digital drawing in pink, blue, and purple hues of a cute otter with horns and dragon wings looking calmly at the viewer, moon in the background

Predominately purple illustration with yellowish highlights of a massive dragon looking closely at a small child who is offering a flower to the dragon. The child is barely as tall as one of the dragon's fangs.

The astronauts aboard the ISS were amazed by the April 8 solar eclipse, just like the rest of us, and went crazy snapping photos from orbit. They got some amazing views of the Moon's shadow sweeping across southern Canada & Maine: www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2... 🧪🔭

The Moon's shadow, or umbra, is pictured covering portions of the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick and the American state of Maine in this photograph from the International Space Station as it soared into the solar eclipse from 261 miles (420 km) above.
