drum roll please...

so, it's been brought to my attention (through the grapevine) that my year end total sales for 2007 came to $1,000,426.28.

that's a hell of a lot of religious propaganda.

to be perfectly honest, i'm torn. part of me thinks that hey, if the Word is getting out there, then who cares, right? then there's the other part of me that's convinced i've pimped out my faith like some cheap atlantic city hooker.

the things i believe...that i hold as absolute Truth--have been marketed. painted and packaged to appeal to the masses. i just can't figure out if i think it's wrong...

chrissy-i'll check those out for sure.
i hope you're not bleeding from the mouth too badly. and that your teeth feel better by sunday.

ed-well, most of that is people calling me, ready to spend money, with a very vague idea of what they think they want. i just help them find it. which, come to think of it--is totally something i could do for your paintings.
