This one came from a conversation I had with my friend Kenny about religion. We debated belief in religion without investigation (belief that was inherited). I referred to a belief like that as being dangerous. The comment was made by me that blind faith is dangerous and this sculpture is a result of that.
While I was working at Nationwide I met a great Tattoo Artist who's friend died while on the Artist motorcycle. He wanted a tribute to his friend and I needed an old Tattoo covered up. I worked out this piece for him. It was a wonderful challenge to work for another artist. He pushed me to create a better piece that what I had originally imagined.
This one was created for a family that I had worked for in the past. A dear friend of theirs had died. He was a big part of the community, their lives and had organized an annual toy drive that is still in effect today.
