karma
Haruman getting huge and jumping across the sea. From my sketchy research, I am led to believe he has a lot of good karma, with the exception of an incident in his past that caused him to be cursed. His curse is an inability to remember that he's capable of jumping across the sea.

best left to your guru or swami or some Hindu religious expert. How he continues to jump the sea when he doesn't remember how is not clear to me. Maybe that happened before he was cursed?? don't know.
love your illustration, and wonderful take on the theme except. . . . I am a bit confused. . . if he's cursed shouldn't it be an inability to remember he's "incapable" of jumping across across the sea ?
I noticed a comment about "sacred pudding" in the description of Hanuman's birth. Mmmmm... sacred pudding.
Maybe he just went ahead and tried it to see if he could. He might not have known he was capable of making it across, but thought he'd face his fear. If the curse kept him from realizing his potential, taking a leap would be just the thing to break it.
HaNuman. not Haruman. thanks to scott w for reminding me. after all the research i still misspelled it.
Hanuman has some really interesting legends, and the children;s film that came out a few years ago was poretty good too.
Very nice

I really like the ambiguity of the drawing and your "story" that accompanies it... And "monkey boy" seems like an archtypal representation. I will go see about Hanuman.
