PLAY BALL!

Traditions of the Forward Path, naturally, is about traditionalism and how such ideals manifest in individuals' lives, contrasting with how one may percieve the idea of traditionalism in everyday life.

For a long time, I've been enraptured by contrast, specifcally the contrast between orientalism pushed by the west, and the truth of life within the orient. Through this, I produced "Traditions of the Forward Path". A book which - upon hearing of, or even seeing - many would assume to be of a politically conservative, orientalist nature. It is not, thus comes the evocation of the source idea of contrast between orientalism and life within the orient, framed using a culture which does not exist, a nation which does not exist, and a species which does not exist. I decided for the overarching concept behind this book to be 'contrast', also demonstrated in wide array of graphic techniques used. I made sure to use the feasible maximum amount of what I'd learned during this first year. I hope you enjoy reading!
