This divine hero of blue known for carrying a flute as his talisman whose grace rids us of our impurities and whose song brings pure enjoyment and self existing bliss. Thru breath, Krishna brings sweet music to our ears....a great reminder of the gifts that our own breath brings within our practice. The human heart, made instrument for the God of Love to play upon. Legend says Krishna's melody plays so sweet that peacocks were "blissed out" with joy and offered their feathers of nobility in gratitude. Krishna's peacock adornments represent the all seeing eyes that bring forth third eye knowledge and invite us to know and to show our true colors. 

May you know your absolute truth.

Thank you yoga community for all your words of appreciation and your enthusiasm during this work in progress...a great reminder of the impact that our daily paint strokes can have on one another.  

When a Spotted Dog decides to open a Yoga Studio…

I was honored to be given the opportunity to shed light on this little earth angel and bring him to life artfully for all to see.  


Bandit’s face is a mixed bag of tricks….happiness grinning from ear to ear, a wet nose for investigation, ready to pounce at a moments notice, eyes of deep sincerity, ears alert and alive 
and a grounding Om symbol that dangles from his collar.  


It all started with a photo shoot and a ball. It is hard to say which is his better side, his right or his left….all in all…he is a man of many faces.

  At the end of the day…his headshot says it all.  
Translated to line drawing, I wanted his many personas to be revealed.  
With a certain level of whimsy…a mascot was born.  


Now ready for water bottles, t-shirts,
 yoga mats, backlit signage and who knows…
maybe even a van.  

From line drawing to steel….

Going from line drawing back to layered dimension took some thinking…each body surface was given it’s own layer of steel, creating a dramatic stacking and enhanced viewing from teeth to tongue.  


Backlighting brought his eyes and his Om to life…creating a halo glow that is wrapped with core values….family, gratitude, Integrity & faith.

If you are lucky….Bandit will be there to greet you in person as you come thru the door.
