Taylor Arnold's "The Moon Goddess" Ink Series featured at Open Mic Night!

  "The Moon Goddess series started for me 5 years ago when I illustrated the original Goddess, Blood Moon. I was inspired by the celestial event that year to personify the moon. Two or three years later, I added Blue and Harvest Moon in metallic ink. This last year, I finished the series with Lunar Eclipse Goddess with glitter after adding New, Strawberry and Super Moon with foil. To me, these goddesses portray strength, dignity and wholeness. They each wear Native American headdresses and are adorned with different animal skulls as a symbol of perseverance. It's important for women to feel complete and capable on their own, which is what these ladies have taught me when I illustrated each of them for half a decade." - Taylor Arnold
