…a Fat White Jesus on every tentacle…
….now with extra lasers!…

…(lovin the sketch book to bits at the moment…literally…40 odd pages to go and the spine is splitting!)….
…(maybe I shouldn’t press so hard)….
…..”Fat White Jesus Busts Some Light-sabre Moves In The Desert Before Performing The Miracle Of Turning Camel Pats Into Pizzas And Ass Wee Into Wine Beer”……
…but around here we affectionately refer to it as “pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew”…..
…acrylic & pyrography on recycled ply… 450 x 890 sans the re-purposed, “failed” crackle pattern frame…colours by Resenes (yay test-pots!)….
…a big shout out to the all makers of retro paint by numbers for the mesa “guidelines”…..without you this would have been crap…..
…Jesus were suddenly attacked by a giant octopus…
…would he be able to defend himself with his special death-ray hands…
…or would that be un-chistian of him with St Francis day just past and all?…
…(it occurred to me while doodling for the tryptic series of a couple of weeks ago that the hand position Jesus is often portrayed as holding could be tipped on its side & used to represent a hand gun…like we did way back in school when we couldn’t find an appropriate stick… and being as how he’s Jesus, he’d be able to shoot fire out the tips of his fingers…
…it would probably smell of brimstone…
…”pew” is a time honoured vocal imitation of a gun firing in NZ…
…and before the regulars ask….yes, I ran with this idea…
…see you back here tomorrow…).
