Move over, Norman Rockwell!

[Elok]

There's a new painter of ugly white-bread kitsch in town, and he's got this piety thing DOWN. Unfortunately, he's also got right-clicking on images disabled, and I'm sure as hell not going to bother with print-screen rips, so you'll have to visit to behold his artistic talents.

Here we see the Son of God in pimp mode: http://www.thecollectionshop.com/xq/...etail_Page.htm

Here he's got this '80s rock-idol thing going on, I guess: http://www.thecollectionshop.com/xq/...etail_Page.htm

Grounded? Oh, man! http://www.thecollectionshop.com/xq/...etail_Page.htm

And, of course, taking care of business: http://www.thecollectionshop.com/xq/...etail_Page.htm

http://www.thecollectionshop.com/xq/...d_Editions.htm is the main page.

sorry I don't click through

[Colonâ„¢]

There's so many links I can't decide which one to click first.

The guy is a douche bag. What else you got?

[Guynemer]

Madre de Dios.

[Elok]

No, pictures of her are more of a Catholic thing. I think this guy's Protestant.

I am glad he provides a QR code to scan so I can more easily purchase me some classy Jesus paintings.

Why would you attach Norman Rockwell's name to the likes of this?

The guy is a douche bag. What else you got?

OTOH, I don't know what he did to earn this.

[Hauldren Collider]

I really don't see the similarity

[Elok]

Seriously? He's got the same mix of cornball and sappy sentimentality, the cold, formal style, stiff posing, even the lighting is similar. He doesn't paint in the exact same style, but it's the same genre.

Maybe I'd think differently if I actually liked Norman Rockwell, though.
