A Symbol for The Big Bang and all that follows...

THE OCTAGOD means:

The Octagod symbol for the The Big Bang

The Octagod  came to be on the exact date of 8/8/88. It was intended as a logo for a cable TV public access television show, based in Staten island NY. It was a show about Science, Religion and Video feedback. But that was a long time ago. Since then, as an artist, I've done other projects. But even as times have changed the Octagod has never left me. Later on I discovered that it also worked in it's inverted form. Although in a very different manor.

I swear to you as an artist who's done lots of things, this thing is most definitely magical. It's an archetype for sure. For me it has provided and continues to provide inspiration, in so many ways. So I will try to present this cosmic prize of inspiration to you as best I can.
