It's been a year... and here's a new saint!

Well, my oh my! It's been a year since I posted?! Well, here's something new. I was very moved by the news that Pope John Paul II was canonized as a saint just yesterday. So, since I've gotten sober in the last year +, I've really made an effort to express my newly-discovered emotions through my work, both photographic and in writing. Below you will find my Lichtenstein-inspired design for the new saint. John Paul was really an incredible guy. Anyone who knows me well knows that I have never claimed to be a Christian, as my personal views are too broad to fit within the confines of any one specific denomination. But If I was to be a christian, I think I'd be Catholic... They've got a ton of really cool rituals, practices, and of course saints! (BTW, this is not a plug for the catholic church, like at all!... If you steam my shit, I'll find you and wear your skin for my next Halloween costume!) So, I hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave comments.
