    uniE621 Echoes Of Earth Music Festival Base Creative Illustration
    Earlier this year I was commissioned to create the base creative illustrations for Echoes Of Earth, India's largest and longest running sustainable music festival. The theme of this year's festival was natures 6th sense and the project required pulling together a number of examples of natures innate wisdom in to a single complex composition. The project also allowed me to realise the dream of having my work animated by the Indian design agency - a skill this has spurred me on to add to my skillset in 2026.
