Default Weird Mormon Painting/Photography business

Saw this over on CB. I don't have a really high tolerance for Mormon-commerce, but I think as it concerns paintings it's higher than most here.

All the same, this is some weird stuff. What's next? Pictures with Jesus at the local mall, ala Santa Claus?

Yeah, that is about as weird as I've seen. I think her Jesus looks like John Stamos.

Seriously, I find these to be creepy. Seriously this one http://www.kaypaintings.com/GalleryPages/Kna.htm

looks like, "Hey kid... I'll give you a lollipop if you get into my car..."

Those serve as yet another painful reminder that no religion or culture, to my knowledge, is exempt from kitsch and cheap sentiment. But if we're going to visit that cultural subpart, and I delight in doing so, I still like the Jesus sports figurines, although John Stamos doing the Footprints in the Sand is closing fast, particularly with BYU71's sage commentary on that story.

I like "Jesus Running the Option to Perfection."
