the commercialism of christ







i love my dear Jesus.


i hate how we've once again crucified him.




in my latest painting, Jesus is surrounded by popular logos/corporate symbols.




His mouth has a band-aid over it; His hands are bound, and He too is plastered with "christian" logos...




let's stop marketing our savior.




let's kneel before God, void of corporate or institutional influence, and worship the real thing.

This was powerful as the rough pencil sketch you showed me, and still more powerful now! Thank you for forcing us to look at what we do.

I know we don't really know each other, but you are the only folks I really see comment over at Kathy Brown's blog, other than myself. Her mother just passed away, and I'm sure she could use your support.

so true. He is looking for people who worship in spirit and in truth...

on a completely unrelated note:
I found a hilarious website, somewhat related to the eggs on your paper:
