My cover art for Poetry Journal Breadcrumb Scabs, June/July 2009, USA

This month I have an oil pastel on the cover of Breadcrumb Scabs' Issue 6, June 2009 [pictured], a new independent poetry magazine from Michigan. This little publication is raw, quirky, and a bit in your face in a way I thought had disappeared. Lucky that quality is still around. Also in June I have artwork featured in the literary journal (Literal Latte in NYC). Latte care about high quality writing and support emerging writers and artists that don't always fit a particular mould. I fear that the written word is facing death-by-Xbox if we don't keep it alive. I wish I could write as well as the contributers in this journal but my brush is mightier than the pen:)

Carl Gopalkrishnan (aka Gopal)

Over the past two decades, Carl Gopalkrishnan's artwork has garnered international recognition for its ability to forge meaningful connections between cultural narratives in art and literature and the complex dynamics driving international law, intervention, and global conflict. Carl transforms our familiar cultural artefacts into new myths. Through his art he opens a door for legal and military minds to explore the creative, subconscious, and emotional nuances underlying doctrines that shape war and peace.
