Gary Taxali's body of work has influenced many artists and illustrators over the years, and the imprint of his distinctive aesthetic has touched everything from children's books and toys, to album covers, men's fashion accessories, and even 25¢ coins for the Royal Canadian Mint. Here, he recalls childhood days spent in Toronto's Little India, and the impact both Bollywood "bad guys" and Hindustani classical have had on his work; why he's always felt like he was born in the wrong era; and how he's channelled his lifelong love of the classics into a successful, decades-long career as an artist, illustrator, and educator.
