    Los Angeles based digital artist Sean Spriggs [website], operating as keeperstride on deviantArt, created a nine-panel wide artwork, mostly based on Bouguereau paintings. The title is Manifesto of a Well Lived Life, representing Spriggs’ ideas about “what I believe to be a good life, at least for myself“. The superimposed slogans are mostly provocative, such as “be naked for as much as possible” and “try drugs at least once“.

    Here is a thumbnail of the complete artwork. Click to access the gallery on deviantArt.
