Title: Just another depiction of The Virgin and Her Son
32 by 24
This painting offends my mother beyond belief, but it is not meant
to be sacreligious at all. It is about how we glorify Mary and think
she was some ultra human, when she had problems just like everyone.
She's been made a martyr. And the boner has nothing to do with
actually fucking Mary, I think its purpose is more like mocking our
seriousness when it comes to religion. Words: pure?, martyr, the
son of your god, fucked by god once again, years of bondage: 33.
Title: The Outcasts
48 by 48
I believe that one of the major facets of Christianity is to forgive
and forget and to love unconditionally and to never judge (let he among
you without sin cast the first stone). Jesus himself was an outcast,
and he befriended fellow untouchables, like whores and tax collectors.
This is a more current example. With a black man, a Republican law maker,
a whore, and a gay man. Words: afro, black pride, X, limp dick,
republican, jew, slut, diseased, protection, sailor
Title: Flat nosed and starving
32 by 24
Jesus was a black man. This painting is about how we have delusions
when it comes to religion/Jesus. Hitler preached about aryian
supremacy and Christianity, when Jesus was neither white nor
Christian. Words: flat-nosed and starving, tar baby, crown: award
for worthiness, Hitler: hero to your "Christian" brothers,
ostracized, dated: pre-invention of "Christianity" TM.
Title: Jesus at the Last Supper
32 by 24
A loose copy of an Andy Warhol silk screen with my own personal
background. This, though, was done by hand and not silk screen.
Title: The (Literal) Last Supper
11 by 20
This is the painting that astranged me from my art teacher, who is a
very ferventMormon. A literal last supper in which the disciples
actually drink the blood ofChrist and eat his broken body. Words
(from top left): Christian, Supper is served, chomp, drenched in the
blood of Chirst, squirt, oh happy day, Christian, clink, bloody flesh,
chomp, Jew, fill er up, your cup runeth over, a body broken, betrayl,
dinero (death), this is great wine Lord.
Title: After the Descension
32 by 24
A play on the typical Madonna and Christ child paintings. This one
instead of showing Jesus in her arms at the beginning of the life
circle, shows him instead at the very end of it, after his body has
been taken from the tomb.
Title: A Family Reunion: the Resurrection
32 by 24
This the painting with most words that I've ever done. It takes a
realist's point of view of the resurrection. Seeing as I don't believe
he was the son of God, and thusly didn't have magical powers, I don't
see how a resurrection and ascension into heaven could have actually
occurred. There are some historians, though, who believe that Jesus
was drugged (by the wizard in the left corner) a la Romeo and Juliet
and appeared dead on the cross and in the tomb. He "resurrected" when
he woke up from the potion and then he went on to marry Mary Magdalene
(the whore in the right corner) and have kids. Also in the
painting are Lazarus and the other little girl Jesus brought back to
life, a man possessed by demons who asked Jesus to put the demons
into a herd of swine (who consequently drowned themselves), a blind
man made to see, and an ex-leper. This painting was bought by
a Christian church and it hangs in their youth room. Words (top to
bottom and left to right): Divine Light, strings, APPLAUSE, 'The
Golden Rule,' Miracle Number One (blood), Miracle Number Six,
Family Reunion (Not pictured: Mary and Joseph, 12 fisherman, miracles,
parables, followers, children, Pilate, Harod, God), Working
Scientific Theory (sleeping potion), Back from the dead (they were
'only sleeping'), Salvation, possessed Daemonic Swine, 'EYE can see,'
Poor Ex-leper, whore (Mary), barefoot and pregnant
