"Mush's Strange Journey" is my debut work, where I wear both the hat of an illustrator and an author. Written in Armenian, this fantasy tale follows the adventures of a little boy, who conquers his fears — of the dark, loss, and change — and with the guidance of his extraordinary friends sets off on a magical expedition to the enchanting Inner Land. During his journey, he meets lots of strange creatures and passes through many challenges, eventually finding his own light and inner strength

Fergal is a happy lad, not bothered at all by the effect of his putrid stench on everyone around him. When even the rats and cockroaches are driven out of town by his ‘aroma’, Fergal sets out to find somewhere he belongs, and discovers that even a boy like him can find a place to call home…

“The text’s dark humour matches perfectly with the illustrations’ ominous and grungy mixed-media, multi-layered techniques.”

But will he be able to bring down the wall guarding their secrets?
