Description


when I saw you for the first time, you were hanging with a theif
and I knew my hands were dirty
and I dropped my gaze






but you said I was forgiven.




"Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
Luke 23:43

I always found that title to stand on its own, but have never been able to pinpoint why. Excellently done.

This is beautiful in it's simplicity. sometimes things are best said with a minimalistic approach... just like the sacrifice of Jesus, you know? In the end it was his humanity that saves us and not really his divinity. It's a powerful message that you get across through the use of minimalism.

Always nice.

One thing to let you know..
"when I saw you for the first time, you were hanging with a theif"
It's 'thief'. I only point that out because I have a strange pet peeve with ei and ie words. That's all I enjoy this.

Congratulations on being featured in the Fortnight Spotlight by ` lllo0o0olll

To be honest, I like the description much better than the piece itself, although they do go well together. It's a simple cross, like the Gospel is actually. Very well-expressed.

And I don't believe in hell, heaven, god, angels, devil, demons, life after death and of cause! IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDAEORVM!
From artistic point of view the child could have made it! From meaning point of view I respect the artist for his views, but do not share them! You have wasted your time! Have a good life!

i never spoke of any of those things you mentioned.
..
and yes, i have wasted a lot of my life.
..
however, you showed no respect for the artist:
in any sense : whatsoever.
..
why comment on a piece if you do not care?

Let it go... don't pick a fight where its not needed.... but if you really want to jump in the middle of it. Between the artist and me.. It has been resolved. You are opening up old wounds...

Wow! I love the beautiful simplicity of this as well as the symbolism. Your short poem that goes along with the picture really completes it. That's some very powerful work. It makes me especially proud to be a Christian. Great work.

frail my buddy, this is beautiful, and if it wasn't for my overlooking this somehow, you would have had a comment much earlier

i love how you always combine your art with some sort of motivational wordings

as for this piece, as a catholic, i am drawn to it by the sheer picture of the cross, but it looks like so much more in this picture, how its single and solitary

good stuff

Don't you find it ironic that the only person Jesus personally promised Paradise to was a thief?

but still, i'm happy that you have the power to believe.

You're on my watch list, and I think I've seen all of your deviations, but I rarely comment...it seems so many other people have so many other great things to say about your work that my comments wouldn't matter.

But this time, I couldn't resist.
Besides your perfect timing (which I assume wasn't coincidental), this, like all your work, is beautiful.
Simple. Perfect. Wonderful.

...and you continue to amaze me...
