This is WOnderful Stuff.....and truly speaking it just goesw ith how either of the gods are usually visualised...could you the Brahma image be made more clearer.

I would also request you do one for the Hindu goddesses :Saraswawati, Lakshmi and Durga/Parvati and then one of the three togethere(ie the Ultimate Goddess).

truth or hindu's beliefs doesn't effect in any way with your imagination and usage of pictures. let me tell you, there is no photograph or an art drawn by someone who saw them except 'Hanuman' who was photographed in himalayas around 1999/2000. all you see is some artists imagination to the description of those gods written in vedas.

Jasmine said: "Never use it again. Use THEM again." :D I agree; use them again! This is good stuff.

Way to make sense, Jasmine.

Giving her a massive benefit of the doubt (assuming she's not a troll), I have to wonder what she has against the Hindu gods.

Composite Vishnu

	A composite of 108 images of Vishnu. Included were paintings, drawings and photos of sculptures and statues.

	The source images used to generate this composite consist of paintings, drawings, photographs of sculptures, and images from popular media (such as television or film). By creating these images, it is my intent to uncover clues regarding the collective, cultural representation of deity, and to inspire discourse. The image is created by compositing (combining, layering, averaging) groups of exisiting photographs (or other images) into a single work. The process is achieved by manually aligning each image, then scanning and layering them using custom written software.
