wow, thanks man. i really appreciate it.

it kind of started out of nowhere. i had been wanting to do a print of that size for a while now, but couldnt get the energy together to get started. finally before i knew it i had a month left in the semester and had to do something, so i went for it.

the idea stemmed from me at first wanting to recreate myself as shiva, vishnu, and brahma. so after some tinkering in photoshop i came up with that image. after thinking about a border, i had to be careful because depending on what type i used it could be said that i was implying something completely unintentional (ie. if i used a victorian border, would i be saying something about the colonization of india etc.)

this was for my relief printing class. it kind of got me addicted to woodcutting and next semester im going to be working on more prints of this size. maybe following the same idea of human/animal hybrids.

who knows.
