One of the things I love to do through my illustrations is transport people back to their childhood via storytelling.
I asked people on Instagram to share some of their hilarious childhood beliefs and illustrated them for #childhoodweek2020. These beliefs may seem trivial for a grown-up, but for each child in question, it was very much the truth and reality at that point in time.
“I believed if you swallow orange seeds, an orange tree will grow inside you."
“I believed in portals. I always looked for places that could teleport me to Himalayas my home."
“I believed whistling at night called forth ugly scary witches and monsters."
“I believed the TV had miniature people Inside."
"Boogeyman."
"I believed little people lived in our garden."
"I Believed There Was A Monster In The Closet."
"I Believed Ice-Cream Was Made From Clouds."
"A Horned Cat That Lived On A Mountain And Everyone Who Laid Eyes On It Fell Down Dead Instantly."
"I Believed My Teachers Set Up CCTV's Everywhere To Keep Track Of My Whereabouts."
"If I Don't Sleep By 10 Pm, My Pocket-Money Will Go To The Watchman."
