Check out our eventsLocal Forecast is an online store and storytelling platform for artists and designers exploring a fresh creative culture in Sri Lanka. We are here to experiment and play through thoughtfully made and curated products and stories of people made them.
Our brands have a creative process or technique that they are exploring and experimenting with to produce original work, driven by their own lived experiences and what inspires them.
We're for brands that have socially inclusive organizational structures. This includes transparency, participatory processes, fair pay, inclusive of socially disadvantaged communities and sharing knowledge.
Our brands take measures to reduce their impact on the environment throughout the supply chain including sustainably harvested raw materials, biodegradable materials, reducing waste, upcycled materials, sustainable packaging etc.
Born in Sri Lanka and raised in Oman, Akila is an illustrator and graphic designer. Starting a career in the business world before shifting into his creative work in 2018, he focuses on commercial/editorial illustrations and brand design, with a slight halftone obsession.
He enjoys making art that is tongue-in-cheek social commentary that almost gets him white-vanned and other general nonsensical themes. Akila’s work is mostly drawn to vintage styled illustrations like retro comic books and subjects that walk a fine line between real-world issues and pop culture.
In collaboration with the upcoming puzzle makers, Avkoda.
