Just approved were two designs of mine that mark the convergence of rock and roll and religion (well, sort of)...

...if God was here
First is just a playful illustration re: that classic moment from the Five Man Electric Band's "Signs" where our hippie hero jumps up onto a fence and yells at a house, "Hey! What gives you the right! To put up a fence to keep me out, but to keep mother nature in!!" (and then the lyrics become the t-shirt). Great way to stick it to the Man, imho.

...where were they going, w/o ever knowing...
Second is an attempt at artistically representing the Tao as it relates to people... a fairly simple yet incredibly complex idea. As I was looking through the wikipedia for some kind of ten-word summary to throw in a post here or under the design, I started to realize how flawed a representation it is... what's funny is that the wiki entry actually cites the tradition of inherently flawed attempts to portray the Tao through art. So, right now, I'm feeling pretty good about being part of some giant, perpetual failure of humanity. Me, Fastball, dudes who might like this design just because there are a couple heads getting exploded by arrows... we're all interwoven when it comes down to it. And isn't that, after all, kinda sorta somewhat what everything's about.

Yeah....
