Little Shiva does image and design work with a funky, creative twist. Her childhood as a globetrotting navy brat exposed her to a variety of places and cultures, Parsons NYC honed her design skills, and her freelance biz "The Ministry of Fun" has been going strong since 1993. She works on projects wherever the internet takes her and cherishes the friends she makes along the way. In addition to image and design, she's also crazy about permaculture.

E.A.R.T.H. Lab Assistance
Ram Gonzalez was raised in Inglewood alongside two younger brothers and an older sister in a one-bedroom apartment. Tattoo culture was prominent and he began to get involved as a teenager. Artwork on peoples' skin was more riveting than the fine art hanging on the museum walls. Tattooing was a stepping-stone into the art world and it is still the source from which he draws inspiration as he explores his culture through ink and pain and as a physical connection to the past. The action of adding pigment to ones skin has the ability to change how the wearer is perceived and even how they see themselves.
