Katie Cooper:
Nascar Jesus (NFS)

original - 20"x24"
In 1673, Jesus Christ supposedly
appeared to St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque. To her, he revealed his
sacred heart, and explained to her
Gods love and mercy for each
individual.
When I picture Jesus, I picture the
image I have seen time and time
again. He has long brown hair, with a
slight wave to it. His face is sweet,
and he wears a long ivory colored
robe, and sandals made of rope. He
speaks of love and peace, and has a
calm, yet powerful way about him.
Then I picture him coming back today,
to save those who have claimed him as
their savior. What would that Jesus
have to be like, to want to save people
like us?
He would have to be a fan of
consumption. He would constantly
have jingles and advertisements
running through his mind, and would
be moving too busily and too quickly
to stop and take a breath. When
thirsty, this Jesus would want to grab a
cold one.
The King of Kings and the King of
Beers are together at last. NASCAR
Jesus.

Anonymous Guest IP: 75.179.27.181 Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the creator and sustainer of the universe. He is not some pragmatic beer guzzling marketing freak! Read your bible and see who He really is before you try to portray Him. This is blasphemous! | |

| Artist Reply: This piece is intended to poke fun at the human race... NOT Jesus. But that is the beauty of art, isn't it? You will see it one way, while others will view it from a completely different perspective. Sorry to upset, but thank you for having a reaction! | ||

| ||
| Artist Reply: Wowza! Thank you Tony... I have many more in my head - the problem is getting them on canvas. As for poetry, philosophy, etc... not exactly. The gears in my head are constantly turning, but what I come up with is not what I would call philosophy. I make stufff. I also think stuff. Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment.... and I definitely plan to keep at it! | ||

John Enright unusual view of one of the most amazing rebels and revolutionaries this planet (or others) has brought to historic review. Perhaps he would drink a beer with the crew...He was known to have changed water to wine for his friend's wedding party. His miracles were off the charts...in HIs time and ours. | |

| Artist Reply: AGREED. Thanks for that wonderful commentary and insight into this piece. I havent gotten a reaction quite like that thus far, and it is MUCH appreciated... thanks for taking the time... and thought. | ||
