A Lord by any other Name. ___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In this cartoon a young Jesus visits John the Baptist, His cousin, and the two greet each other with much joy.  They begin by shouting each other's names, then switch to parodying each other's names back and forth, coming up with a ridiculous list of aliases.  Their mothers, St. Elizabeth and the Blessed Virgin Mary, just watch the naming convention being held before them.

Happy Father’s Day!!

here’s a lil drawing i made for my family :)

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas

"When this boy, Jesus, was five years old, he was playing at the ford of a rushing stream; he was collecting the flowing water into ponds and made the water instantly pure. He did this with a single command. He then made soft clay and shaped it into twelve sparrows. He did this on the Sabbath day, and many other boys were playing with him.

But when a Jew saw what Jesus was doing while playing on the Sabbath day, he immediately went off and told Joseph, Jesus' father, 'See here, your boy is at the ford of a rushing stream and has taken mud and fashioned twelve birds with it, and so has violated the Sabbath.'

So Joseph went there, and as soon as he spotted him, he shouted, 'Why are you doing what's not lawful to do on the Sabbath?'

But Jesus simply clapped his hands and shouted to the sparrows, 'Be off, fly away, and remember me, you who are now alive!'

And the sparrows took off and went away chirping

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”

Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”

Happy Holidays, guys!!! 🎄

I wish you a Merry Christmas... so I'm going to share with you the drawing that I've done for a Christmas Card. 🎁

Here's Jesus at 5 years old, healing a baby lamb after he got hurt with the undergrowth. The boy saved the lamb and healed him with a bandage. Suddenly, the lamb was completely healthy. 🩹

Mary, his mother, arrived; discovering that her son was saving the lamb. She, surprised to see this miracle; smiled and walked to her son, asking why he'd got so far. Jesus said that he was saving the lamb because animals deserve a lot of respect. 🐑

The background is a mountainous forest; when little Jesus took a walk with his Mother, sitting on a stone symbolizes his strength to help others, the mountains in the background are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The illumination between the trees that irradiates Jesus and the lamb is God, congrats to His Son for helping a weak animal, as the lamb as.

The drawing was done on Clip Studio Paint, but the document is in PSD (Photoshop). I used some brushes and followed tutorials on YouTube to paint the background and details.

Have a Happy Holiday Season, everyone!! ❄️🌟❄️

On your Mark...

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The Gospel of Mark begins by talking about John the Baptist.  In a few quick verses, Mark says John was a desert-dweller who came to baptize people in preparation for the Messiah's ministry.  Mark also argues that John's coming was prophesied by Isaiah, who said there would come a voice crying out in the desert, a messenger sent ahead of the Lord, making straight His paths.  Some of John's followers assumed that John himself was the Messiah, but John told them, "One mightier than I is coming after me.  I am not worthy to loosen His sandals.  I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." 2. In this cartoon, the key verses about "going ahead of the Lord" and "making straight His paths" and "one mightier than I is coming" have been torn from their sacred context and crudely slapped into the new and exciting context of Jesus and John playing Tag as kids. 3. Jesus muses that John always runs in a straight line, making it easy to follow him, and quotes Isaiah as Mark did.  However, unlike Mark's quote, which implied John was preparing his followers for Jesus, Jesus's quote simply implies John is bad at Tag-tics -- that is, the tactics of Tag -- and has erred gravely in accepting Christ's challenge. 4. At the end, John screams in panic.  In Mark's Gospel, he says, "One mightier than I is coming after me," because he knows the true Messiah, Jesus, will be joining public ministry shortly, and he wants people to anticipate His coming.  In this cartoon, John says, "One mightier than I is coming after me," because his little Cousin has come after him with a speed that far exceeds his own, and when John is terrified, he screams like a maniac.

A few weeks ago Young Jesus released their 6th LP, Shepherd's Head, and it's a stark departure from the expansive emo of the project's full-band stride. Young Jesus is now the solo project of founder John Rossiter, and SH is an 8 song suite that swaps their aforementioned stylings for intimate, ambient post-rock. Highlight "Satsuma" is a late album cut that blossoms from spoken-word ambience into propulsive IDM within the span of a minute. Rossiter's reserved baritone creeps into the frame delivering existential musings alongside the the lo-fi warble of what sounds like a pipe organ set against the shimmer of orchestral strings.

After swelling for a few more measures the instrumentation drops out in favor of a drum machine arpeggio and an 8 bit synth melody. The music grows louder, and more forceful while retaining the same melodic progression only to abruptly dissipate back into the ether. There's a surprising amount of range on SH, with songs spanning ambient, folk, post-rock, and even dance music while all adhering to the same wispy aesthetic. While SH lacks the same chemistry, and thrilling scope of past Young Jesus records it's imbued with it's own dynamic disposition all the same.
