Thoughts behind the artwork...

I have been observing those around me for a very long time. Be they strangers, friends, coworkers, or loved ones, I have observed. Of the myriads of observations made along the way, one of the most difficult to ignore is hypocrisy. It matters not one bit what your justifications are, if you claim to embrace Jesus Christ, but place more importance on your precious taxes than you do on his teachings, you may have much to answer for on the other side.

This image is merely one is a series tackling this topic. Make no mistake, this is NOT an anti-religeous image. It IS an anti-hypocritical image. Many christians walk the walk and genuinely care about those in need. Many others only PRETEND to. They go to church and place themselves on a high moral pedestal, but flat out sprint to the voting booth to do their best to shoot down ANYTHING that could help those in need. All in the name of saving a few measly tax dollars for themselves. I have heard these hypocrites speak for years. I have heard the petty justifications for such actions and yet I cannot find anything that hints at Jesus Christ wanting us to simply let those in need suffer.

Sadly, this pathetic behavior seems to be spreading like a cancer.
