jesus saves

sunday is a fun-day of religious bombardment (in the best way) in l.a.
-8:30 in the morning every sunday we pass this guy at the gas station corner on silverlake
-found in an alley behind wilshire and la brea. my son says it's a mural of a saint...
because of the halo.
-a garage full of stacked boxes of tall glass candles that had been burned and this floral frame could be for ceremonial purposes? er, uhhh maybe just restaurant décor, but still very cool!
-i was taking a photo of these gorgeous yoruba hand beaded african chairs that i want at mix furniture and buddah suddenly popped in the pic!
(check out the beadwork close-up!)
-the way home on the 10 fwy this rastafarian red, gold and green truck barreled past us in a rush to go somewhere ...hmmm... i wonder what's inside?

Great post! I'm feeling all spiritual now. Those beaded chairs are amazing. LOVE Nathaniel Russell's work. We have a fantastic Jesus Man here too. His home and bicycle are completely decked out with empty hand-painted pizza cartons.

He's great! Tony took a photo of me and him (and his painted shopping trolley!) about ten years ago. Will try to find it...
