Description

Acrylic on Canvas, 2006
22"x24" (again, maybe, I don't actually own this one, so I can't tell you)

The story behind this is that last year my girlfriend's roomate gave me rides to and from the bus station everytime I came to visit, and she gave me one last ride at the insisting of my begging even she already said she wouldn't. So in thanks I told her I would make her a painting of Buddha, which I worked on over the summer. I was having trouble finishing it, so my girlfriend painted the only part that actually looks good (the firey dark background) and made it worthwhile as a gift.

The idea came from William Gibson's "Sprawl Trilogy" which, without going into too much detail, has sort of like tribal gods that live in the internet, so I thought a cyber-buddha would be cool. Yeah, I'm dumb and nerdy, shut up.
