oh come oh come emmanuel




















stream sufjan's 5 christmas albums (have your self a folky folky christmas...)
great santa post by chuck (low art? poor taste? dying myth?)
old post by aaron that needs more conversation (santa and western materialism)
what does christmas mean today?
as the president wants to boost the military presence in iraq?
in the wake of aids awareness day...
the call to each of us to bear christ is upon us,
as we embody the incarnation anew in this broken world.
peace on earth = relationality restored.

It's a coptic icon, right? I love coptic iconography. Where ever did you get it. I love it!

Merry Christmas!

phil, i know i say this about all of your artwork, but that tree of life piece you linked to is probably the greatest and most beautiful piece of work that i've encountered in a long time...
it's amazing, phil.

phil,

i am speechless.

i want to overwhelm you with big words for your new work, but i feel more-so that the wind was just knocked out of me. my first thought after blinking: how do i get that on my mantle too??

hey, random aside. i was wondering if you'd be interested in trying to do a show together sometime in the not so super distant future? would love to talk about this if you're maybe interested!

peace, jen
