Well, I'm glad she can see it, because I can't. I suppose I can see something at the top of the cross, but I wouldn't leap to the conclusion it was Jesus.

The first time I looked at it, I could see the head and shoulders of a rather cartoonish looking man in the centre. The second time, I saw the face of a man in the cente with the eyes just below the top of the horizontal. Hey - if you're told something's there, then you're likely to see it.

it's very clear.... top left hand side of the vertical bar..... Skeletor!

Who knows, if you say it's there, sell it on eBay.

If it's haunted by the ghost of Jesus, then it'll sell great on ebay.

Jesus is dubious. tehre's no beard, the eyes are off center--looks like jesus by way of Picasso, maybe. Now the face at the top, that is clearly Brak.

The guy is obviously a religious nutcase. I don't see any face at all. If it really is a message from Jesus, could he ask him why God made the tsunami?

I didn't see anything...

That totally doesn't look like me! I dont see it at all unless your like some religious person who wants to make $$$ off of some painting that you claim looks like me!

I'm pretty sure it's Mojo Nixon.

The picture is too grainy to really make much of anything out of the paint. Who paints two swipes of brown and calls it a painting anyway? I think he's trying to salvage a really BAD idea.

I definately Skeletor in the upper left hand side, but not so much The Late Great JC.

I see nothing. Swipes of paint, which, like Andrew said, is not exactly the most original idea in the world.

I don't see it. *shrug*

Aside from the fact that nobody actually knows what Jesus looks like anyway...the image of Jesus as a long haired blue eyed guy was dreamt up in renaissance Europe(which conveniently linked well with their own needs to lord it over north Africa/mid east territories)

So if the statement was "To me, it has a passing resemblance to the modern idea of the image of Christ," then yes. She would be correct in making that statement.

The statement "When the paint dried you could 'I would say' clearly see the face of Christ on the cross" is false.

But hey, if it makes you happy/makes you a buck...go for it.

It could be two swipes, but probably is more.
The horizontal stripe in relatively uniform, as one would expect from this kind of gestural painting.
The vertical stripe is uniform also, but only the lower two thirds. The upper third has obviously been doctored.
'images' can be seen anywhere, the brain has the capacity to try to make sense, or information, out of non-sense, disorganised material in our field of vision from clouds to oil stains, tree follaige to rusted areas on metal.

I don't see Mr JC in this picture either. However, I don't think the painting has been doctored- I think that the more detailed coloring in the top arm of the cross is because that is where the paint was first applied and then squeegied down. Then the squeegie was picked up, put on the right edge of the paper, and moved to the left to make the cross bar.

I'm a painter, and I agree that it's not a very good painter. I'm very into abstract experssionism. I love Robert Motherwell and Ellsworth Kelly- both who make rather large, bold, simple works- but this doesn't quite compare.

i don't see it!!

I mean "not a very good painting."

Alex, have you seen any other work from this artist? And are they male or female? There seems to be some confusion about this.

ps: I paint but I don't think I'm a very good painter either. I guess that's because my taste exceedes my talents. I make a good grilled cheese sandwich, though.

I see it now!!!!!! I think he's giving you the thumbs up to go ahead and sell it.
