With you always

[lapsedmodernist]

This Jesus is totally with you, ALWAYS, to the theme of "Every Breath You Take."





I would also like to add that Larry, the man who produced this fine artwork, lives in Niceville, Florida, which, as claudelemonde said, makes you want to cry a little bit.

Also (you knew this was coming), this also reminds me of an old Soviet joke about a plant director being fired because for the anniversary of Lenin's birth the plant produced the following commemorative items: a cologne called "The Smell of Lenin," a bra called "Lenin's Mountains," a whole slew of other equally inappropriate stuff, and for a coup de grace, a three-person bed called "Lenin is Always With Us."

Also I just realized that my ex-boyfriend looked kind of like Jesus. You know, if Jesus was a surly, moody artiste. Especially in that first picture.

but dude. I don't know about you, but I want backrubs when doing a long drive.

Those are amazing in the freakiest way. Have you seen the figurines of Jesus as a soccer coach, a baseball player, et cetera?

Also, I wanted to let you know that I added you my friends list. I hope that's all right!

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! I just added you back.

Also, haven't seen those figurines! Where are they?!

Here. The basketball one's the best: it looks like Jesus is playing keep-away, which doesn't seem like a very Christian game.

thanks and also: gaaah!

I totally want to know what the student is reading too. I hope it's "The Fountainhead."

actually, i blew up the pic and i think it's "the age of innocence."

although "the end/the mask/the loss of innocence" are also possible. but i'm pretty sure wharton would be on an english student's reading list at ucla.

If by surly, moody artiste, you actually mean "scary clown-taunting hippy." And what's the point of the dentist wearing latex gloves if Jesus is just going to drip from his hand wounds?

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

Is it just me or is the expression on Jesus' face in the Dental Assistant one particularly insane?

1: "Ask him if it's safe!"

2: "You're just driving away from that? You caught your wife screwing a circus midget, bro! Turn around and lay down the law!"

3: ...Uh. I got nothin'.

So many details to comment on.

The one that just struck me now is the Teiko Sports Watch being totally rocked by the dental patient. Rock the Teiko! Rock the Teiko!

The guy in the dentist chair has a death grip on the armrest. Hasn't she heard of novocaine?

then again, I have the same reaction to dentistry, so I guess I'm not one to to talk. Also, when I sported facial hair, I too resembled Jesus. But not quite so Irish/Chinese looking as this one. Hey, at least he's not blond.

Hey, you still owe me an email... :-)

Yeah, I am the same only worse at the dentist and unfortunately am overidentifying with the dude in the chair at the moment.

[seltix.livejournal.com]

ummm, ok. i've been going to the dentist, on and off, for many years now. when did they start making you unbutton your shirt? is it just men who have to? or maybe there's something *else* going on. is jesus into furries?


also, it seems to me that jesus is making an offering of that little girl to his mighty god Clown. in fact, seeing as Clown is the only character in color, this entire thing may actually be about jesus talking to people in all walks of life about the wonders of Clown. you know, like jehovas witnesses, going door-to-door, but because he's jesus, he has better access.

he's all like, "Clown is awesome! he's like, really funny! always putting a smile on my face! you should *totally* worship him too!! just the thought of his crazy antics stay with you always! he's so awesome!!"

LOVE IT!!
Is there intentional irony involved here?

[isolt.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love those. They're so very creepy.

I would die happy if there was a drawing focusing on the contemporary social ill that is paruresis. surely Jesus is there to provide aid as well?
