INRI

INRI is Latin for “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews.” Even before any of the (smaller) gigantic stones were dragged into place (from Wales), Stonehenge ground was…

Toilet Trash

Anyone who would deceive the public (especially actor celebrities) about their wholesome persona over decades of time ought to be exposed and prosecuted to the full extent of…

Walls to Windows

Ronald Reagan was one of American’s most beloved presidents. Especially so in the modern era. On June 12, 1987, Reagan told Mikhail Gorbachev (then the leader of the…

Walls to Windows

Speak No Evil

Thursday the 3rd of August, 2018, it was released that Urban Meyer, the present Ohio State head football coach, was placed on administrative leave due to his alleged…

Stealth Shooter Flyover

Stealth fighters, slightly tilted and with attached triggers, easily second as hand weapons. When fired, their bullet paths (in my painting as blue verticals) represent bars that screen…

Trashed Mouth

We’re so busy with living “our way” that we often have to be reminded that this Earthly shelter may soon disappear, and with it, us too. We humans…

Deco Dog and Chicken

HateGate

This cautionary painting (DO NOT ENTER) may well parallel the prophets in the Old Testament who proclaimed the destruction of Israel and Judah because of their continued idol…

We’ll Fly Away

Yeah, that’s me in my Gator uniform–over a half-a-century ago. I was flying (momentarily suspended in air) at the time the photo was taken on Florida Field (the…

Field of Dreams Gone South

The setting, of course, belongs to Kevin Costner, but the outcome for the greater majority of professional American athletes is not promissing. Most end up broke after a…

Seek and Go Hide

It used to the other way around. We’d hide first, and then our playmates would come seek us out. Now the sequence is reversed: one of their peers…

Margaritaville

Lost

Gates to Glory

Stormy Weather

Stormy weather and/or Stormy Daniels; take your pick, or choose them both. You can’t be wrong. The stormy weather refers to Mr. Trump and his repeated firing (i.e.,…

Sudden Death

“Sudden death” is no respecter of persons–it’s available to everyone–whether you’re ready for it or not. But we Americans were blindsided long ago to the carnage that would…

Brainwashed

The horror of 911 that American had to endure has since been repeated (on much smaller scales–fortunately) across the world. Now, most of the world’s countries are on…

LarryGagner.com

I’m finally satisfied with my revamped Larry Gagner logo. You no doubt realize by the soft pastel, color scheme that I’m a big fan of the Art Deco…

Don’t Make

I assumed too much. I just figured, that since there was a proliferation of Jesus’ images throughout history, it must be all right to follow suit. Boy, did…

Don’t Depict Deity

I think I’ve been a somewhat naive in the recent past. I believed it was OK to represent the Christianity Deity (Jesus) in two and/or three dimensions, just…

Pancake Hate

About the only accolades an offensive lineman could ever amass back when I played pro football was how many games you played and/or started in in your career….

Will Not Enter

I could have named this painting “Back to You.” Jesus’ back that is. The you part is all the people named in the scriptures who have decided NOT…

Holy and Vine

No, that’s not a typo error in the title; it’s a play on words. It’s common knowledge that this Hollywood intersection (Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street), made famous…

Pittsburgh Pride

(The “Pride” in this title has got nothing whatsoever to do with LBGTQ+ pride). The downtown wedge–shaped area of Pittsburgh, observed from just about any place on Grandview…

Hooked

Hooked, in the sense that Jehovah God is reeling us (Christians) in via HIS Son, Jesus. Jesus took our sins upon Himself (red lettered JES) giving US (in…

At the Foot

Again, you’re seeing my use of the “Rainbow Mary” apparition(?) (in Clearwater, Florida) with a much exaggerated perspective of the crucifixion. Miraculous darkness fell upon the Earth from…

Beep Beep!

Seen ME, Seen The

The “Seen ME, Seen THee” title of this painting paraphrases the statement made by Jesus in John 14:9 where Jesus reinforces the “oneness” that has always existed between…

Feast Or Famine

Where do you (your government predominately) draw the line between helping and accepting the oppressed (legals and illegals) and overburdening your own people? Its a tough question for…

Don’t Fence Me

Ice Cream Soda, Ginger Ale Pop…Pop… Pop…

It’s no secret that in Chicago’s predominately black South Side many families fear for their lives, if they were to venture out for so little a pleasure as…

The Adam Bomb of Sin

No, this isn’t about the atom bomb we dropped on Hiroshima. This one’s exponentially more fatal. This Adam bomb (of sin) entered the world through Adam. But what…

So Help Us God

Previously, before president-elect Donald Trump made good on his promise to get elected, I had a title of No Trump (and then, Trump Trump) on this painting, with…

Obey Or Oblivion

I’m sure you recognize the six soldiers’ famous pose righting the American flag at Iwo Jima atop Mount Suribachi. I took the liberty of extending a horizontal red…

Tilt-Game Over

The Steeler’s All-Pro Mike Webster played many years after me, but Ralph Wenzel (the lesser known Steeler poster player for CTE) was the Steeler back-up guard in my…

Silence Over Retoric

I find it somewhat ironic that Christ, who is the creator of all life, came riding into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey. Yet the Democrats, who…

Civil Defense?

Some ideas jump out at you; some are a bit more subtle. For instance, the partially white outlined black figure on the left may or may not be…

Revisited Redeemer

In reality, Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio fronts the downtown area. As If He, Jesus, is giving a blessing to the corporate wealthy. You’ll notice that I’ve…

Running on Empty

Art oftentimes is a reflector of the times we live in. Running on Empty takes no exception (make that no prisoners). What better place to emphasis the failure…
