I was accepted to several art schools for the graphics design program.  I entered the University of Washington thinking I would leave and go to work for corporations, designing logos.  Alas, I quickly decided I couldn't handle the cutthroat competition, and switched to the more forgiving interdisciplinary visual arts program.  I don't design logos, but I still love to make simple line drawings using words and names.

Ganesha is known as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the deity of intellect and wisdom.

I love Ganesha.  I'm not religious, and I don't practice Hinduism, but I am obsessed with Ganesha.  If I was Hindu, I would choose to worship Ganesha.
