Reminds me of my favourite piece, Jesus and a Surfer.

Thanks Cass. The strange intersectionality of religion and recreation...

Don't worry if  www.deviantart.com/brendan11 is in your head. That's his job. He is that rare combination of writer/musician/artist. 
Thank you for the comment. I consciously drew the skaters with a nod to Soviet art.  Glad you picked up on that.

Quite impressive, if the Buddhist Temples have Stained glass windows anywhere on the Architecture, i would very much imagine this as a stained glass piece but there again, with the Skater, this would look great as a vast Wall Mural or Graffiti art !!  and therefore the perfect Quote would be, i only know several quotes from Buddha  and the one i know goes something like, ''Peace  is from Within, and you cannot find enlightenment without it, Those who are free are resentful or negative thoughts but There has to be evil so that good can prove purity'' idk if that's the actual quote but it's something like that.

Lovely Artwork as always Wayne.

Thank you. If I had the power and resources, I'd gladly contract some street artists here to beautify an ugly wall. Probably these guys:

I think your artwork would be more appropriate on that wall than the Graffiti that's there at the moment. It Doesn't look that great.

The grafitti here makes the caves of Altamira look like DaVinci. I give the crew  of The Doctor credit for their concept and execution. BTW, it's across the street from a drug store. The irony is lost on most.

Actually the skaters are up to their necks in Buddhist culture!

Should be a stained glass window in Venice Beach.

Ah, Venice Beach, my old haunt. It was so funky 40 years ago. I loved hanging around there. These days it's gentrified. They can probably afford stained glass there now.
