moderation paranoia. ouch!

big fan of kinsey but a great deal of that has to do with his superior draftsmanship.

that is really lacking here for me.
it’s great to see him trying new things. maybe i expect too much

Fee, it does that when there are links in the comments (I think). Since I am not in front of the computer 24 hours a day, it was delayed just a bit since I had to approve it manually. Sorry about that, its all automated.

sacha,

the reason it has a christ “feel” is because it’s a picture of jesus. read my first post and look at the other versions at that flickr link

Could be a statement about the current situation in Gaza. Some view Israel’s retaliation as terrorism, while many feel they are justified in their actions.

It’s controversial because it depicts Jesus as a terrorist

I think the change in style is cool.
Hecox has been slagged in most forums and prints stopped selling due to a number of factors, one being that the style is to day to day.

Looking up Axiom (title of print) it says

An “axiom”, in classical terminology, referred to a self-evident assumption common to many branches of science. A good example would be the assertion that…

When an equal amount is taken from equals, an equal amount results.

It also has a Greek meaning (I have a Greek wife) meaning the worthy one – This could maybe be more applicable as it does have a christ feel or a middle eastern feel.

Thoughts ?

jao,

this image is from his holy sh*t show at Lazarides last year. he did a series of jesus images like this one, i believe about 30 of them. here are a bunch of others:

and here’s the press release from that show which gives you a little insight to why he did all the religious images and why the name of the show has a double meaning: http://www.lazinc.com/content/images//Dave_Kinsey/Pressrelease_Dave_Kinsey_Lazarides_Newcastle.pdf
