If you pay close attention, you can see that the illustration above is a gif, and it depicts the plot of Soul Voyage, which is the dimension leaps! You can read the last part and more about the making of this series on this post at Draw a Dot.

Soul Voyage VIII
'Valerie has no idea why the clouds brought her here but suddenly, the pond starts to transform into a mirror. When she looks at it, she sees a boy dropping down from a mountain and she wants to rescue him. She uses her hands to touch the mirror surface and immediately her body starts to disappear in this world. When she opens her eyes again, she has realized she is no longer in the forest. Instead, she is now in the bottom of a mountain. Valerie has entered the new dimension and on the floor, she finds a bag pack with the name tag "Lamont" attached to it..."
This is the past piece of Valerie's story, but the Soul Voyage series continues on June.
Stay tuned and follow the story at Draw a Dot too.

Soul Voyage VI
'Valerie uses the key to unlock the door and enters into the room. She is very surprised her grandfather has such a magical room because it is technically a forest. All the plants in this place are glowing and shooting stars are continuously popping up in the sky. She does not understand why her grandfather never brought her to this room as it is so pretty and peaceful. Then, she realizes she has walked too deep into the forest that she can no longer find the door back home.'

Soul Voyage V
My collaboration with Marcus Kan, from Draw a Dot, continues with a parallel story. This time inspired by the Louis Vuitton Fall 2013 womenswear collection.
'Not long ago, Valerie's grandfather passed away and he left her with a key to a magical room in his mansion. He never told her what's inside the room, but once warned her that it can transport people to another dimension, and the person can never go back. Now Valerie is in front of the room's door and since the person she loves the most is now dead, she has decided to unlock the mystery.'

Soul Voyage IV
"When Lamont opens his eyes again, he realizes he is in a strange forest.
From tree branches to small flowers, everything is glowing and the scene is beautiful. Interesting enough, this is actually a place Lamont has dreamed of when he was small and he cannot express his excitement. The monsters and the strange clouds are here as well and are following him wherever he goes.
They have finally arrived to a small pond and when Lamont looks at the reflection of the water, he cannot help but scream.
He does not have any bruises on his face or any part of his body. However, part of his face has now become the face of the monster and he knows the body is starting to transform. Lamont now believes he might be the leader of these monsters and there may not be a way to back to the original dimension...
Is this a dream? Or is this the new dimension? Someone named Valerie may be able to give us some clues."
This is the end of the menswear series as Marcus Kan and I agreed to add a parallel story, inspired by the womenswear collection. The story will continue unfolding in May.

Soul Voyage III
"After a good night slepp, the snow has finally stopped and the monsters are gone as well. It's time for Lamont to start climbing to the top of the mountain and see what's there. Everything is very smooth. Just when he is about one quarter of the journey, strange things start to happen. Lamont is surrounded by strange floating eyes covered in mist, and they seem to be blocking his vision intentionally. He tries his best to continue climbing up the mountain and suddenly, the rope breaks in two parts. Lamont is falling down like a meteorite and the clouds are trying to rescue him. Is Lamont going to die?"
Stay tuned and follow the story at Draw a Dot too.
Final piece coming on Thursday.

Soul Voyage II
"After exploring the Kingdom of Bhutan, Lamont has finally arrived at the bottom of the legendary mountain. Snow is falling heavily so he has decided to set up a tent and stay there for a night. Just when he is about to sleep, he notices there are shadows of creatures surrounding his tent. He heads outside and there are 6 monsters resembling snow leopards, waiting for him. Of course, Lamont is in a slightly shocked mode but strangely, there is no sign of these monsters are here to hurt him as they are somehow acting like his guards. Even though Lamont has no idea what is going on here, he now starts to believe this myth actually exists."
As a brief parenthesis, I find the details on this collection quite interesting. The stylization of the snow leopard added an eerie vibe to the collection; I'm obsessed with the sweater.

Soul Voyage I
Inspired by the Fall 2013 Louis Vuitton Menswear collection, Marcus Kan (creator of á la mode and Draw a Dot) and I have created a new series of illustrations called 'Soul Voyage'.
“There is a legend about a mountain near the Kingdom of Bhutan. People say that if you climb to the top of that mountain, you will be able to enter a new dimension and find your new soul. However, there is a tradeoff – you will not be able to come back to this world.
Lamont is an adventurer and always hopes to find out if this legend exists or not. Finally, he has decided to make a trip to Himalaya and his last stop is the Kingdom of Bhutan…”
Stay tuned and follow the story over at Draw a Dot too.
