The first of the goddess project I’d like to introduce you to is, Lakshmi She is a goddess of wealth, but not wealth in the way western culture typically interprets it. She has wealth of spirit, soul, body, health, marriage, family, mind. Her life is wealthy in the way wealth should be measured by more of us and she strives to helps us find that

My model for Lakshmi is a lovely model named Kacigoff. She is not only a beautiful model but an amazing cook and entrepreneur

To learn the full story behind her and Lakshmi check out my site and join my mailing list

Everytime I get on a bus or am stuck waiting with strangers somewhere I take note of who would be my best potential teamy in an apocalypse. My current best candidates 1. Blonde alternative lady next to me -she's wearing sturdy practical leather boots with ankle support -carrying her jacket. She knows its warm but doesn't trust current Edmonton weather. She's prepared like a boyscout -her mug is big enough to club a enemy/mutant/zombie/molemen to death with -she chose to sit next to me, this shows a mild trust which will be tested and needed should things get all Mad Max on us 2. Old man in the back -he sat down right in the middle of two young punks loudly yapping to each other about the ladies they're "macking on" trying to claim the back 3 seats to themselves. This old man gives no f@#&$. He see's opportunity and takes it -He has a backpack. You know an old man with a backpack at the very least has meds and spare socks in there. Maybe even a shoehorn. All useful -he jogged to catch the bus. He's a fit old man. Candidates will be contacted in the event of an apocalypse. Once selected your spot is not guaranteed but will be kept based on your performance and usefulness to the team (A side note I have also ranked all my family and friends. If you think this is ludicrous then there's a good chance you're low on my list. Survival of the fittest people)

Alrighty! Day 2 of the 3x5 art challenge (though I'm technically doing 5x5 cause I don't bother to read silly things like rules) Day 2 I'm sharing some comic pages I've worked on. Both originals and tryouts for companies. I love storytelling and people pay more attention to me when I distract them with pretty pictures (this post proves my point) so it's only natural me and comics would fall in love

sabtastique nominated me for this 3x 5 art challenge. I don't know if I'm supposed to post 3 pieces of art for 5 days or 5 for 3 days, so to be safe I'm gonna post 5 for 5. Also I'm not sure if I was supposed to do this in under 24 hours after the nomination, cause I didn't soooo... suck it arbitrary rules! Anyways I'm starting this off with pieces that are close to home and my heart. My Western art. I plan on having a bunch more western pieces done this year so look forward to that

Finishing off my Valentine's day drinking some spiced rum while spending time with my true love... drawing comics! Here's a toast to all the awesomely rad dudes and dudettes out there. Know that it's not sad to be alone. Instead celebrate the amazing person that you are and do something that truly makes you happy. You deserve it
