Enter the portal ... and explore earth’s strangest locations and lores !

THE TWILIGHT ZONE

The universe is a mysterious thing. No matter how many centuries we live, we will never be able to explore its vastness and numerous planet systems. This zine’s cover opens with an adventurous astronaut who’s taking his little space pod through portals around the universe to explore what hasn’t been seen. He floats on planet Mars when it used to have water on its surface according to NASA, but time moves fast and it skips forward to it all evaporating away. The ozone layer which is the main focus of the illustration, also changes with the earth cycle, thus it is unfolding overtime around earth. Its color is a magical purple, to add some fantasy to the sci-fi environment. Everything shifts towards the blackhole, which is by itself a strange anomaly that swallows anything in its way. Its strength picks up, even tearing the rope that ties the astronaut to his ship, sweeping him into the unknown.

The Portal-lore zine contains seven digitally illustrated posters of mesmerizing places around the world. Portal-lore takes the fantasy and sci-fi themes and then creates artistic work combined with its respective information. The illustrations are a personal imaginative visualization of the various old lores, stories, ancient tales, myths, as well as facts surrounding these locations and phenomena. They are based on thorough research and my love for discovering nature documentaries and unfamiliar archeological sites. In each illustration, there is a different character related to the place, who portals in to create some sort of change or witness a fairytale sight. Scan the illustrations through the Artivive App to see it in augmented reality and enjoy its hidden digital layer!
