Don’t be scared. I’m not about to preach to you. That’s just a ballpoint drawing I did for my Mom recently, featuring what’s probably the millionth sheep I’ve drawn in my life. This is not the first time I’ve drawn J.C. About five years ago I did a pic of him (Him) by request for a friend that featured the actual crucifixion scene. As I don’t know anything about the nuances of the bible, it was a weird depiction. His torso had an enormous tattoo of a tree for one thing. Anyway, I emailed a pic of that one to my Mom and she went nuts. So much so that she had a bunch of photocopies made and started selling them for $10 a pop at her table at the southern flea market where she sells her flipped wares each week. She didn’t tell me she was doing this until after she’d been hawking them for a few weeks. I was disturbed by this. Not because I wanted a cut of the meager profits (FYI: she did pop me a $20 bill once) but because people actually wanted such a cartoony, pseudo-religious, amateurish thing in their homes for maybe prayer purposes. And so here I am gifting-trusting my Mom with her own J.C. to manipulate at her will. Only God (or J.C.) knows what she’s gonna do with it though I wouldn’t mind another $20. Thanks in advance Mom.

PICKING UP ROCKS 
I loved your first JC so much that I had cards made out of your depiction. I think you may have underestimated your talent and ability to move people with your interpretation of figures. Everyone that received a card ended up putting it up in their house in a frame (including me!) and commented back to me how much they loved it. For me it showed a tender mercy that was powerful. You’re just great at what you do!
