Meanwhile - yes, I like the Creation and Recreation piece on Sketchbook. Can I repost it on the cafe?
Chuck Palahniuk's rather disturbing book, Diary, helped me to see how all art is autobiographical. Decide to paint St. George and the Dragon. That choice is your choice. The size of the canvas, the colors. Every decision is autobiographical. In the end it could look like a lot of other paintings of St. George and the Dragon and that would be your autobiographical statement, or it could look like no one elses and that too is a statement. So for a person of faith, can there be any art of any kind that is not something of art for faith's sake?
Put another way...a favorite epitaph of mine is the one that said, "Here lies John Smythe (or some similar name) who cobbled shoes in this town for 42 years to the glory of God."
So if you create art for art's sake, that too can be for the glory of God and is that different in kind from art for faith's sake?
Just wondering aloud here.
As to Episcopal café, I did a couple of entries for the ECVA Sketchbook Christian Grafitti and Creation and Recreation. Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

As for me, I'm painting a lot, and wrestling with the notion of 'art for art's sake' as a purer form of spiritual expression then art for faith's sake. Any/all insights are welcome Frank.
