Jesus & Peter.

Los que viven al lado de la plancha morirán por la plancha. (Those who live by the bodyslam shall die by the bodyslam.)

The role of Peter will be played in this case by a lucha libre lawyer. Both of these are part of my collection of small figurines on a shelf at work. The Jesus figurine is also part of my ever-growing collection of Jesus chotchkies. I figure if people feel okay making them then I feel okay mocking them.

"But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, 'Do it again' to the sun; and every evening, 'Do it again' to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we." -GK Chesterton

Ink drawings again.

I got a new ink pen over the weekend in an effort to bring my drawing skills anywhere in the range of Dave McKean. I really like the new range of line quality I can get, but I still have a ways to go with my actual drawing skills, especially as it pertains to people. Then it's a matter of incorporating paint/collage/whatever, then ???, then profits!

Golden 7/9/9

An ideal summer night, a street fair, a river, and massive amounts of public sculpture all came together for rockin' goodtimes. Thanks for having me!
