Chris English began his love of drawing and illustration in his grandmother's kitchen, where he would sit filling Red Chief sketchbooks using a bucket of crayons everyday after kindergarten. Forty years later, he is still filling sketchbooks, though his award-winning artwork has also been found in newspapers, magazines, and online for a wide range of clients. He met his wife in the Great Books program at St John's College, so contributing to this campaign is especially rewarding and meaningful.

Artist Statement

A major theme in the novel is that enlightenment can only be achieved through the full examination of human experience. Siddhartha recrosses his path along the river through his life's journey over and over again. The mandala in Buddhism is both a symbol of the universe, and a spiritual tool for meditation and learning. It was adopted and popularized by Carl Jung, who was a friend of Hesse's, and it was thought Jung that Hesse became interested in Buddhist philosophy. — Christopher English
