Haha. Although, I have to say, while Boxing Jeebus and Tat Jeebus are bordering on tacky, I like that they exist. And I have to wonder if whoever painted them was tired of Jeebus sitting around looking holy all the time.

Small digression for story time: I created a minor scandal in my religious family when I was 19 because I DYED my hair blue and got an EYEBROW RING. GASP! Oh noes! The horror. Keep in mind that I was attending church fairly regularly, was otherwise a well-behaved child, wasn't drinking or doing drugs. And a well-meaning uncle decided to come ask me to paint a picture of Jesus, and if I still felt good about my eyebrow ring after painting a picture of Jesus, then he, my uncle would give the ring his blessing. Well, of course, the implication was that after painting Jesus, I would realise what a sinner I was, and return to safe conformity of the fold. Hah. I kinda fumed quietly for a month, and made some sketches of Jesus in leather and shades on a motorcycle. Never did actually make the painting.

Site note 2: I actually know the artist of this picture. (http://picturesofjesus4you.com/256.html) He's a very popular artist in my home county, and since he knew my art teacher, he came into our school and chatted with us about art. I like some of his non-religious work (http://www.galleryone.com/images/olsen/olsen_-_fraternity_tree_the.JPG) very well, but it's hard to find these days.
