Well, this week I got quite the surprise as several folks sent me Facebook messages trying to draw my attention to a post by a pastor and author in Denver. Nadia Bolz-Weber is a pastor in Denver and has published several books related to theology and the church in the post-modern age. It turns out Nadia was trying to track down the original artist for this picture:
This was something I had done over a year ago in response to a Facebook conversation with Nadia that my wife was involved in where some folks had criticized her for being a female pastor. (I won't even get started on that). In their criticism, they referred to her as a "Pastrix" which she thought was both very funny, as well as mused openly what that would "look like". So, when I heard that I decided to put together something quickly just for fun. I sent it to her, we had a laugh and that was the last I thought of it.
Well, this past week I found out she and her publisher were both trying to track me down because they wanted to use that artwork to represent Nadia as her author profile on their website. I was extremely surprised but also quite honored that they would want to use this quick sketch in that way.
Thank you both to Nadia and Jericho books for contacting me and using my art to represent Nadia.
