todd scott ballje 10 months ago

you would be that multi talented. geeze ;) im not a writer so I cant communicate my appreciation of how creative that is.

anyway very cool.

so, question: were the multiple layers of different people features all included or were they just options till you found the right ones. just curious if that was intended as a blend of all the features.

This is incorrect.

thomas riffey 10 months ago

That pic of the African kid with one eye was one of the most gut wrenching photos I've ever seen. It was one of the images that turned me on to your work. LOVE to see that it made it in the pic if Jesus. feels appropriate.

This comes to mind: Jhn 3:17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Absolutely beautiful. I love that you used a little piece of everyone.

Any chance you might be selling prints sometime?

as multi-layered as Jesus' stories.... really love the progression Jeremy.
Kalvin Camp 10 months ago

This is one of the most interesting art speed-vids I've ever seen. To watch the story of the portrait unfold makes this piece soooo much more deep than if I just looked at the finished work, without knowing how much went into it. Now when I look at it, and think about all of the different pieces that make it up, it takes on a whole new meaning to me. Fantastic work. Watching this video has been a perception changing experience.
Jesse Springer 10 months ago

Man. Just so freakin cool.
riseupmisswayward 10 months ago

This is breathtaking! I love that I'm not the only one to see Jesus as more than some caucasian looking beautiful image. He was a real man, raised in the middle East with possibly rough features and calluses from working as a carpenter and spending time in the sun. He felt real pain and embodied true love.
Thank you so much for this video!

Donelda Seymour 9 months ago

That was simply amazing to watch! It made me really appreciate all the work that went into creating that image- and it also felt really "spitirual" to watch all the many faces that were used in the portrait of Christ. Thanks so much for posting this! You are truly inspiring!
Shane Robinson 9 months ago

Absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the entire process! So many people think that if you create art on the computer that it's easy and just takes a few clicks of the mouse... I'll send this link next time anyone says that or leaves it in a comment.
