Ever bought something that looked cool on the rack, then put it on and it was terrible...? Well I know that feel now... (The girly bedroom is my fiancee's not mine btw)   I really do not know what confuses me the most; that you would have such a thing, or that you would publicly acknowledge that you have such a thing. |

 Is this dated or is it due to the cost of living in California? A buzz cut here for Marines (I live amongst Marines) is $7 at the cheapest location and $9 for everyone else. A straight razor shave at the same cheapest location is $3 for Marines and $5 for everyone else. Business cuts are generally $12-15 for the general public. I only get a haircut once or twice a year. Barbers seem to enjoy the opportunity of transforming a grizzly old bum in a sport coat to a model of society in a sport coat with a business cut. I pay $20 for the $12-15 cuts since I know I require extra effort because I do not want the buzz cut. The general exclamation by those waiting at the barber shop (or at work) is that I look 10-15 years younger (probably because I look terrible with long hair). Enough of me. Back to you. |

Only saints should be sporting halos. Personally, while interesting, I don't care for it. As for the palm trees, I at first thought those were paint ball shots...that were oozing down.  |

I am sure we do to some extent. But, that Icon was Byzantine in style and not OO. I would not really consider it a Holy Icon, which is why I called it an "Image" rather than an "Icon." Pretty much, I just thought it was a cool piece of artwork. Nothing more. |

It's in mock Byzantine style, like this: http://walhydra.blogspot.com/2008/06/lord-of-dance.html (very slightly nsfw) And it's not just that. A lot of the stuff you post seems off. Like why is Abraham in space and what's up with that icon of Gregory of Tathev. A few pages back you had this multicolored rainbow guy or something. Reminded me of a disgusting postmodern RC church I once saw. Are these icons or just interesting religious arts you like to post? |

Would this image of Saint Athanasius be considered a canonical Icon?  Well it defies pretty much every iconographic attribute of St. Athanasius and doesn't seem to belong to any iconographical tradition (maybe it's Ethiopian, though?). So... |

This. Forgive me. It's not my intention to cause a fuss. I don't have any sort of hidden agenda or anything like that. Concerning the Image of Saint Gregory of Tathev- It was a piece of art I found on an Armenian site. I am not sure whether it would be considered a Canonical Icon among Armenians. But Salpy mentioned that western style art did make its way into the Armenian Church a while back. So it could just be that. As per Abraham- IDK. I was looking him up on Google images and I found that Image. I thought it was interesting so I posted it. Concerning the depiction of Saint Athanasius as black- I found that on St-Takla.org, a Coptic website, and I was wondering whether it would be considered a canonical Icon. +Forgive me if I have caused offense |
