Another shoe that's craving your vote

In my ever-quest to finally have a shoe designed by me printed and worn by real (non-imaginary) people, I stayed up last night to finish off this submission to Ryz.
Ryz is a fantastic community site based in Portland Oregon that produces high-quality printed shoes designed by artists around the world. You vote may just be the one that tips the scales for this designer. Once you see theJCW on a shoe, you can bet there will be some kind of giveaway on this site.
Check out "A Classic Funeral" and stop by the site for a quick vote...it doesn't even require registration (though registering and commenting is appreciated as well......it's kind of a proof that you're a great supporter)
VOTE RIGHT HERE!
