Now I know there may be a little bit of a flame war on this post. It’s fine. But I decided to write the Catholic League on this particular issue. Below is a screen capture of their site along with my response to their take on the the chocolate crucifix sculpture.

I have been reading a lot about the “Chocolate Jesus” saga the last few days. As an artist and as a pastor I guess this hits on both sides of the coin for me.
“My Sweet Lord” a sculpture by Cosimo Cavallaro has caused quite the controversy. It is a nude sculpture of the crucifixion of Christ. A tenet of the Christian faith.
In recent years Easter has become commercialized about the candy, pink and yellow flowers, hiding eggs and colorful baskets. The fact that the sculpture has even been created is a slam on the so-called …read more

I found this large piece of flint the other day here locally. I guess somehow it inspired me. Here in central Ohio, I live close enough to Flint Ridge. Native Americans often came to this area to find flint that they could use for making tools to carve wood, stone and hunt with. I am not sure yet what I want to do with it, but the thought has crossed my mind to try to carve wood or stone the old fashioned way. With Flint.

I’ve been watching Walter’s site for the last month or so and have been really impressed. In fact, it’s made me want a tablet pc.
It’s a project to create 1000 sketches in a year on a tablet pc. So far, he’s at 404. Pretty good if you ask me. His subjects range far and wide between everything from architecture to horses to abstract.
Well worth a visit. It’s an ambitious project.
Today I was pleasantly surprised with my inbox. Artist, Roman Gumanyuk, had emailed and had asked to show some of his work here. Initially, I am always skeptical when an artist sends more than five works at any given time. Then again, that was until I scrolled down a little and beheld the caliber of his work. Roman has a ethereal quality to his work which depicts a very solitary and peaceful nature.
Thanks for your submissions Roman.
Here’s a brief biography from his site:
Roman Gumanyuk was born in Bishkek in 3 July 1985. He has begun …read more

I created this over at flickr using fd’s Flickr Toys. I thought it came out pretty cool. The image was one of my old 3d renderings in bryce 3d.
It’s probably my personal favorite of my 3d work.

Testing

I’ve decided to try out Flickr for adding some images to the blog on occasion. (even from my cell phone). I’ve resisted this for quite a while but I think I am going to try it out now.
So I have decided to test it here.

…for a digital camera.
It’s not often that I actually ask for advice. I probably should do it more often.
My old Sony f717 is dead I think. Everything I take a picture of has weird off colors. Usually a purple tint to the background if I use the flash, green if I don’t. Florescent either way. If anyone knows an easy fix for this, don’t tell it to me. (I want a new camera anyway)
I have been looking around Darren’s Digital Photography School blog and well, there are a lot of really good cameras.
I am leaning toward the Nikon d80.
But here’s …read more
