"Eggs Benedict"
Take a look at this painting.
It took me a few seconds to even notice that Jesus is holding a small frying pan with an egg in it.
The name of the piece? "Eggs Benedict." Hee hee.
"Eggs Benedict" was done by a Baltimore-based artist named Emily Uchytil (dig her site).
I first saw Emily's work hanging in the Idle Hour (201 E. Fort Ave.) a couple months ago. I sent her an e-mail asking her more about her work, but never heard back.
Either way, I really like this piece.
Great stuff, Emily.
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
Comments
If the faithful don't have a great sense of humour, it may be received with some of the outrage of the following Surrealist painting.
(Max) Ernst drew a great deal of controversy with his 1926 painting "The Virgin Chastises the infant Jesus before Three Witnesses: André Breton, Paul Éluard, and the Painter"

GA, yes, the blogs page has changed, at least. Shankman -- good call. Since it's so dark, it was hard for me to tell.
