Been a while since I've posted something, I know!

However, this isn't very Christmas-themed, but it was a Christmas present for my brother that I just finished a little while ago and have been working on and off on for the past month and a half~.

His adoration of pitbulls had me creating an actual pitbull in Buddhist robes, as my brother is a Buddhist. Recently, he took a trip up to New York to a large temple and lived there, so his going away and calls about what was going on there so of inspired this.

However, I hope he enjoys this, as I will be putting this up as a print and putting a frame around it to put it in his room or wherever.

The two signs are based in Buddhism, Hinduism, and many other cultures of the east.

The 'Ohm' above his head symbolizes purity and in a sense, Enlightenment, as Ohm was said to be the first and last sound of this existence.

The lower phrase is written in Sanskrit, has six syllables, and states 'Hail to the Jewel of the Lotus!'. The phrase is Ohm Mani Padme Hum. However, there is a deeper meaning, and you all should look into it, as each syllable mean different things!

Any way, I'll stop blathering. Enjoy!

And a Merry Christmas~.
