From reading the quote you posted by Dodai Stewart it seems obvious I've inadvertently offended you by the inclusion of voodoo on my poster in a way that celebrates it's pop cultural status rather than it's historic origins. I'm genuinely sorry to hear that and understand why you decided to post.<br /><br />It never crossed my mind that this picture would upset anyone in any way other than those who might not like to blood or skulls on the high street. My goal was simply to create a striking design that would get people's attention in a fun way rather than a negative one and I'm very sad that the poster left you feeling unhappy.Jim Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592333622662349502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332122697095777200.post-73169219910672891832012-10-16T09:41:19.137+01:002012-10-16T09:41:19.137+01:00"Haitian Vodou is a religion that is very mis..."Haitian Vodou is a religion that is very misunderstood. Slaves were brought to the Caribbean against their will and forbidden to practice their traditional African religions as well as forced to convert to the religion of their masters. <i>The Bond movie/Eurocentric/Americanized viewpoint</i> presents Vodou as an evil, primitive version of witchcraft.
