Jesus of Borg #2 retailer

This drawing is done in pen and ink with a little water color thrown in. It is mounted to painted white board and coated with Mod Podge. It measures approximately 11 inches wide by 14 inches tall. When hanging the overall height is 22 inches. I call this piece "Jesus of Borg #2." Now if you are not a Star Trek fan you might not know who the Borg are in the series. But in a nutshell, they are cybernetic organisms linked in a hive mind called "The Collective." They are known to assimilate others into their collective whether they want it or not. I started this piece with anger over the Texas GOPs enactment of the anti-abortion law. I have three adult daughters and while they might not agree on whether it is right or wrong to get an abortion, they all agree that it is "their right" to choose. And I agree with them. So that is how the piece started out but it morphed into something a little different. Did you know that there are at least 10,000 different denominations of Christianity in the world? Of course, some say this number is much higher but I figure 10,000 is a safe estimate. Knowing this I thought why not make up my own Jesus?! A lot of other people have. So, I did! And what I came up with was a bad ass LGBT SiFi Jesus. A Jesus that would assimilate all other Jesuses, even Republican Jesus, into a hive mind and create an accepting and loving collective for all people and all religions. In Star Trek, the Borg are considered the enemy but, in my version, I have turned it around and made retailer "Jesus of Borg" the good guy, the savior.
