What's Justice4Josiah?
(Description from Justice4Josiah's Facebook page)
"Justice for Josiah is a San Jose/Santa Clara County based campaign struggling for resolution, prevention, justice and healing for the communities, families and victims of police violence, abuse and murder. We are centered around the love we have for one another, not a hatred of those whose aim seems to only be doing our communities, our families and our loved ones harm.

A note from Laurie:
"Justice for Josiah" is about the Love and Pain I feel for my son Josiah who is only 4 who no longer has his Father Antonio Lopez.
This tragedy has hurt Josiah, my daughter Angelique, whom Antonio raised since she was 3, his Parents in Nayarit, family members, a community and myself as well.
I believe God has chosen me to endure this pain because he knows I am strong, and will not fight for Justice with the hate, anger or negativity life has thrown at me, but with the Love I have for my kids and family, with the Passion I've always had in me to defend those who don't know how or afraid to defend themselves.
As a Community who not only seeks Justice for Josiah, but for past victims... we need to manage our Thoughts and Emotions and NOT ALLOW them to be Dictated by the Negative and Hostile Environment Created by the Police and Justice System.
We need to put to use the Ability to endure these tragedies, at the hands of these Cops and Never give up or Surrender our struggle for what's RIGHT!
As a Community, we can not only Achieve "Justice for Josiah", but also for past families of victims of police brutality, murder and injustice and strive to prevent future families from having to suffer these senseless beatings, murders by Cops who are suppose to "Protect and Serve".
Killing is Killing, Badge or No Badge, it's WRONG!
THOU SHALL NOT KILL, is one of the Ten Commandments.
God Bless everyone who has been by my side showing support, love encouragement and guidance.
You are all truly Angels sent in disguise to me, Josiah and Angelique and we are so thankful for all of you!
We will overcome!

I was craving nachos so much that it was becoming a distraction. Finally I gave in. Sometimes you just have to listen to what your body tells you. My body told me: "Give me nachos."
This is an elegant and stylized shirt made of cotton 90% - Lycra 10% and embroidered elastic lace that gives a unique touch to the person that wears it .
The transparency that produces the lace gives a sensual touch but at the same time the body is secure and cover enough to enjoy a good practice of dance and yoga.
The drop of water in the back symbolizes the surrender to the feminine. The drop of water becomes our emotion, which takes us into the river of life with flexibility and sweetness.
In the front has a cotton bows that help to adjust an accent the neck and chest area, creating slightly a different shape.

Diu is a town in Diu district in the union territory of Daman and Diu, India.
The town of Diu lies at the eastern end of Diu Island, and is known for its fortress and old Portuguese Cathedral. It is also a fishing town.
It is the tenth least populated district of India.
HISTORY
The town and district were historically part of the Saurashtra region of Gujarat and an important port on trade routes of Arabian sea of Indian Ocean.
Due to its strategic importance, there was a Battle of Diu in 1509 between Portugal and a combined force of Turkey, Egypt, Venice, the Republic of Ragusa (now known as Dubrovnik) and the Sultan of Gujarat, Mahmud Begada. In 1513, the Portuguese tried to establish an outpost there, but negotiations were unsuccessful. There were failed attempts by Diogo Lopes de Sequeira in 1521, Nuno da Cunha in 1523. In 1531 the conquest attempted by D. Nuno da Cunha was also not successful.
In 1535 Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat, concluded a defensive alliance with the Portuguese against the Mughal emperor Humayun, and allowed the Portuguese to construct the Diu Fort and maintain a garrison on the island.
The alliance quickly unraveled, and attempts by the Sultans to oust the Portuguese from Diu between 1537 and 1546 failed. Having repented of his generosity, Bahadur Shah sought to recover Diu, but was defeated and killed by the Portuguese, followed by a period of war between them and the people of Gujarat. In 1538, Coja Sofar, lord of Cambay, together with the Turkish Suleiman Pasha of Ottoman Empire, came to lay siege to Diu, and were defeated by Portuguese resistance led by Anthony Silveira. A second siege was imposed by the same Coja Sofar, in 1546, and repelled by the Portuguese conquerors, led on land by D. John Mascarenhas, and at sea, by D. João de Castro. Coja Sofar and D. Fernando de Castro, son of the Portuguese viceroy, perished in the struggle. The fortress, completed by Dom João de Castro after the siege of 1545, still stands.
After this second siege, Diu was so fortified that it could withstand later attacks of the Arabs of Muscat and the Dutch in the late 17th century. From the 18th century, Diu declined in strategic importance, due to development of Bombay and came to be reduced to a museum or historical landmark as commercial and strategic bulwark in the struggle between the forces of the Islamic East and Christian West.
Diu remained in the possession of the Portuguese from 1535 until 1961, when it fell in the possession of the troops of the Indian Union, which invaded all of former Portuguese India under Operation Vijay. The island was occupied by the Indian military on 19 December 1961. The Battle of Diu involved overwhelming land, sea and air strikes on the enclave for 48 hours until the Portuguese garrison there surrendered. It was declared union territory of India, Diu, Daman and Goa. Goa separated as a state in 1987 thus it became union territory of Diu and Daman.
Old Diu is known for its Portuguese architecture. Diu Fort was built in 1535 and maintained an active garrison until 1960. There are three Portuguese Baroque churches, with St. Paul’s Church, completed in 1610, being the only one still in use for its original purpose. The Church of St. Francis of Assisi, the first church built in Diu, in 1593, is now used as a hospital. St. Thomas Church is currently used as a museum. With no tall buildings except the fort, Diu has a characteristically low skyline. A very ancient Lord Shiva's Temple is located on the "Gangeswar" coast.

Graphic for Westwind Church's "Surrender" theme for Lent.
Was trying to indicate surrender with something graphic. At the same time, I was trying to steer clear of any photographic images in the artwork.
This is my first attempt at putting into pixels what I first sketched out in my notebook - would love feedback and critique.

Here's some photos from a figure giveaway contest I entered last year. I didn't win but I really enjoyed just participating.
I kept it pretty simple.
I wanted to focus on the German. He managed to get enough courage up to surrender, but now will he help the enemy by giving away German positions?
