    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.

    Jesus (if he existed), who was Middle Eastern and brown, looked more like this: i.imgur.com/gy35I.jpg

  • 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.

  • Kyle Ellman 10 months ago
    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.

    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!

    This is simply amazingly disgustingly beautiful capture. Perfect to be seen on GOOD FRIDAY. So, epic, and raw. Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

    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.
