On The Road To Shambala

The word Shambala has many meanings, from the name of a song to a mystical kingdom in the Himalayas. In the case of this piece, Shambala is defined in Sanskrit as a place of peace, tranquility, and or happiness. This work is a layout for an article in an alternative culture magazine. It was done as an assignment in class and has no corresponding article in actuality. I have an interest in Buddhism myself and that is why I chose this particular subject. The drawing in the background is one of my own, which can be seen on my website as an incomplete project. It worked pretty good in this piece though ;)
