I'd love to have one or more of these but do you know how many books I can get for that much moeny.

Give me a break!

 

[OPC'n]

Ha! I wouldn't even give $20 for any of them! That's not art!

No, it's not art, that's for sure. These are caricatures. I don't like the one of Spurgeon, although I might pay $20 for some of these.

 

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

Especially when this is available for $15.

 

[Theognome]

Offhand, I'd say Mr. Stephen Hesselman is a bit too proud of his work.

Theognome

Very good, but as you know I'm more of the Baptist type. Bunyan, Spurgeon, the old Founders of the Southern Baptist Convention...that's to my liking.

We need to convert you to Presbyterian! That's all that's missing in your life!

Make me!!

 

[Whitefield]

Spurgeon looks like Mr. French from that old show Family Affair.

I would have to agree with you on that one. Why would anyone want a drawing of R. C. Sproul, Piper, or Packer on their wall anyways. Don't people realize dead people are cooler to display. I have a pic of Calvin on my fireplace mantle. I got it from reformationart.com.

Ivan, Here is a nice print of Spurgeon. He also has one of Kiffen under England.

[DMcFadden]

Ivan is just jealous that they didn't feature one of him.

 

[Oecolampadius]

I'm pretty sure that Mr. Hesselman's target market does not include frugal Calvinists like me.

Yeah, what's up with that? I gave him my photo, my phone number...what a phony!

Thanks, Randy. Good stuff. There's a good one of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones too. Very interesting.

 

[Marrow Man]

Origen? He's got one of Origen?!?

 

[Beth Ellen Nagle]

 

[Whitefield]

Origen? He's got one of Origen?!?

Maybe next year there will be Arius?!

 

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

C'mon Origen is not quite Arius bad...

Maybe more like Tertullian...

 

[Marrow Man]

Tertullian is perhaps a better analogy. I believe they are the only two Early Church Fathers who were not sainted by the RCC. That's pretty telling.

No Athanasius, no Irenaus, but they've got Origen. That's just rich.

 

[Edward]

These are caricatures.

Agreed.

 

[DMcFadden]

Where is the Karl Barth art??? Grymir is dying to get a Karl Barth for his living room. Can he have one in a jumbo 4' x 8' size please.

Just think of the inspiration Tim could draw from a 6' high crown-to-chin visage of ole Karl! Maybe he would give up his slavish devotion to the KJV. Either that or he would go running through the streets brandishing a butcher knife with a crazed look on his face and shouting something about the "totaliter aliter."

I'd pay money!

 

[PresbyDane]

I would not call it art either but I would take them if anybody offers and why drawings when you can get bubbleheads?

 

[Repre5entYHWH]

why does DA carson look like george bush?

and John McAurther look like harry carrey?

 

[Berean]

Nice glasses on Harry. A few decades out of style. JohnnieMac looks better than that.

 

[DMcFadden]

No response from Grymir yet to the suggestion about the Barth poster??? Hmmmm. Maybe he already ordered it?

It's taken me awhile to pick myself off of the floor after seeing that picture. The picture was a little big on my monitor.

Plus, he looks sooo thoughtful in that picture. Like he's contemplating something deep. Like maybe I just told him his theological system has epistemological errors. And he gets that look and says no it doesn't. Then I ask "Do you know that by your relationship with me or by propositions?" Then he says "We have a relationship?" And I answer "Well, you know more about me than God."

Of course, with that big poster, maybe I could open a dialog with Barth. It could become an Icon in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

But then again, for $200 I'd draw a caricature of Barth.
