This was created originally for a cover for Mahaffay Musical Archive's cd "The Hero's Journey." I took the image of Krishna and added the text "Manifest your desires in the physical plane," because this, to me, is why we're put here on earth -- to create, to manifest, to effect change on our physical landscape. I think that's what meant by the Biblical phrase created in the image of God: We are creators ourselves.
I'm very proud of this illustration. I created it in Photoshop, and it's got 65 layers, each with a title like "eye reflection right" or "left arm lowlight." It's patterned after an Indian painting of Krishna (obviously) with an ultramarine stucco wall added as background, and all enclosed with an anachronistic Victorian filigree. I think it looks good!
And, it's on, like, 96 products over at CafePress! So go manifest your desires in the physical plane, and buy a Krishna product. I know you'll feel better afterward.
