My Art on Exhibit at Episcopal Cafe, and a Past Commission for an Evangelical Publishing Company

April 19, 2010 by admin

Internet connections can lead to wonderful things.

C. Robin Janning stumbled across my work recently, and was so struck by a piece of mine that she asked my permission to feature it on Episcopal Cafe.

Um, no brainer!

Be sure to read Robin’s lovely post, Art as Courage, Promise and World-View, which features several views of the piece. You can also see images on the Episcopal Cafe home page.

I must admit it’s a little… amusing to see this Jewish girl’s work on the home page above the title “Christ reigns.” But hey, one of the most fun art directors I ever worked with was at an evangelical publishing company that commissioned me to create a ketubah for one of their book covers.

Yes, I designed the whole kit and caboodle, including the hand-lettered title, and chapter titles throughout the book.

Notice the cross at the bottom of the paper cut. The irony of this job is that the only reason I accepted the project (for significantly less than what I would normally charge), was because the contract gave me the rights to reproduce it for my own use. I planned to create a ketubah print from the finished artwork.

It didn’t occur to me to insist on veto power over the imagery included in the design.

Needless to say, a ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) with a cross in it is a bit of a hard-sell. Though I suppose there’s probably a market with the Jews for Jesus.

Maybe someday I’ll redo the paper cut without the cross. (On my mile-long list of things to do…)
