hung up on you

Praise the Lord. My most recent contribution to Seed gave me an excuse to sketch out two of my favorite things to draw: monkeys and Jesus.

In truth, I haven't included our Savior in too many previous works, though he did show up in one particularly fraught Blotter doodle from a couple of years back. (See the original, unfinished draft of that here.) Jesus, what a headache!

I guess I should consider myself lucky that I can even attempt such a sacrilege, given the worldwide controversy over the recent Mohammed cartoons. Christians have also been known to get pissy about irreverent images of the Carpenter King, but it usually doesn't end in bloodshed. (Chimps, however, don't appreciate the centuries of mockery they've endured ever since drawing was invented, and will one day rise up to tell us about it.)

In other news, and speaking of Blotter, here's an angry horse. Enjoy.
