Wow, check out what a local artist out in Metchosen has done here . What do you think ? Is this guy over the top ? Is this art or is this overt evil as some have said, " our children would be confused by such a sight ", " Seeing this takes away the magic of Christmas ". Read the article and leave your comments, I look forward to them....

Hey Paul, I thought it was a great piece of art. It is a real assault on our mind, as it sort of shatters the images in our memory. It's a collision between the sacred and the secular...talk about creating a space where we can engage faith and culture. I love art that engages us in conversation.My friend Bill Millar from Winnepeg, introduced this picture last year...does this assualt our senses anymore.

thanks for tipping off the story their sirs. definitely a conversation starter!
as per the additional link, the piece was done by one of my favorite artists out of the UK named banksy.
I like it when people feel free to express themselves. It's usually the controversial things that get attention. I really don't get how a Santa on a cross is art though... to me it's more like a concrete expression of a thought. Art is beautiful. This is not beautiful.
