Vajrayana Art Gallery

Beside doing regular computer animation stuffs; I also collect, produce and create traditional Newar (Buddhist) art work (all beautifully hand-crafted). You can visit my gallery "Vajrayana Art" here.

Someday we at Puppeteer Lounge wish to bring these deities to life in the form of CG animation. That would be fantastic, there is just so much detail and a wide array of stories to go by.

You can find Vajrayana Art in Facebook here.
