Risa Vargas

Risa!!! Unfortunately I don't get to see this girl as much as I would want to, but when we are together times are crazy fun. This is another amazing artist I know who has been blessed with amazing photographic talents. She also plays guitar and has helped me further my skills on shredding. The last time we worked a weekend retreat together, I was absent when everyone was being introduced, thankfully Risa took the liberty of creating my personal information and shared with everyone that: I have no real place or origin because I was born on a freight boat in the middle of the atlantic ocean. I am a gypsy, and I have this amazing unicycling talent that is world renowned.

For Risa I wanted to put her love for jellyfish into a great pictorial scene. Where the handle is attached in the back, the jellyfish are giving hearts to one another, to symbolize how our whacky friendship is. The handle is offset and texture is applied to the lid to give another dimension.
