Unboxing a boy is a story about a boy growing up by taking the town’s tradition by meeting with the wisest of their lands to solve a question of his own. Unboxing a boy was inspired by Callin’s previous travels and the wonderful people that he met along the way.
The format began with following the poetic forms of Haikus and Tankas that was then altered to read as a modern tale.
The book aims to highlight well known but rarely spoken topics such as our relationship to ourselves and the positive impact we can have on others.
The art style was chosen after blending watercolor and what I thought japanese kohans would look like visually. (This was done Using MidJourney).
