PERSONAL PROJECT: i’ve always wanted to do a play on a prayer candle, i just could never think of the right way to implement it. one day while cruising hfboards.com in the boston bruins section, I saw some amazing avatars with the spoked b used as halos on some of the bruins players. that was all i needed to see, the idea just seemed to fit perfectly with my prayer candle project.

so, thanks to the creative people on hf boards for the inspiration. i actually started this project before all the White House controversy with Tim Thomas, however as i was finishing it, (post-controversy) it dawned on me to use the american flags and the stars which ended up providing a perfect backdrop to this project.
