Voyage Dallas Magazine - Meet Jaya Prime, on Fractal Art, on VanLife, on Travels

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jaya Prime. Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours? How does a hitchhiker of more than a decade end up as an international fractal designer who now appears on many books covers and music albums? I tell you what: I didn’t start off in this direction. I started as a music orchestrator and producer, making and mixing music between cities as I traveled from state to state, then from country to country. It was until a childhood tumor eventually caught up with me that I started to lose my hearing.

Then I started seeing cave hostels popping up with things like "free internet" and "breakfast included" and I was sold. These. Caves. Are. AWESOME!

Untitled by Qynn Vee Lesson - The moment that changes everything : You've been at the carnival for some time now. You've ridden the rides, you've laughed with your friends, and you've had more than your fair share of funnel cake. In fact, you shouldn't've shared that cotton candy a few minutes ago. You can feel it. The day has worn you out. You're ready to leave... except there's that one "friend" who wants to stay. Isn't there always? Your desire to leave is less than their desire to stay, and so you stay. Day drags towards nightfall. You feel you could almost pass out or throw up, whichever comes first. Then it happens. The sun begins to set. The sky itself begins to color and dim. Is it just you, or has the fair become more quiet? Finally, as the last light of the day looses its hold on the night, the electric neon world of the carnival bursts into vivid life. Rides, booths, restaurants and games all explode in new colors of light
