Ganesha: Remover of Obstacles

The Hindu deity with the elephant head goes by the name of Ganesha. Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honored at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions.

Being the god behind all intellect as well as art, he is revered by many artists and thinkers including myself. But mainly because nothing looks more fearsome and bad-ass than a multiple armed, giant elephant man with a working knowledge of the entire universe along with weapons in his hands.
