   Or did you quick take photos while a friend threw pigs at you? :)

Heh. None of them are actually in motion as the photo was being snapped.

Too bad, I was imagining you ducking flying pigs and taking photos. --In a little aside, I used to play roller hockey before I got old and wimpy. One time I was taking pictures and trying to get some action shots, so I asked a friend to come at me like he was shooting the puck (well, tennis ball). The thing is, he actually shot, and the ball hit me in the face (not hard, but still it was a lucky thing it was a tennis ball rather than a hard puck). I did get this really great action shot with him following through and the ball in the air, though, so it was a worthwhile sacrifice in the pursuit of the photo.

  
   In 30-31, how is the left-hand demoniac’s right hand held on?

Here’s the answer -- the same setup from a different angle.

That’s so cool! You should have a gallery of photos like this--I remember you showed before pics of how the Exodus God-cloud was held up. I find these “explanation” photos really interesting.

   I’m not sure if this looks quite as good in the end, but I can sleep far more easily knowing I found a LEGO way out.

I think the illusion works very well. The tube thing is also a good idea. I didn’t comment on Casper’s photo, but that was a great MOC.

  
   And why is John wearing a belt if he doesn’t have pants? ;)

That was the style for beloved disciples at the time, I understand.

It still is for some of us. @8^)

See, I just find the metal buckle to be really cold against my skin when I go fishing like this, so I prefer to go beltless.



  
   What’s up with the cooked fish? Is that new light-bluish-gray? Or sand blue? If so, from what set?

   It’s a lighting thing. They’re just plain ol’ light gray.

Too bad. I was hoping for new fish options.


   That is indeed red Indian feathers. I couldn’t think of where they came from offhand, but thank goodness Peeron does.

Aha. I went looking, but only found this: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/471p01 and didn’t check the “similar elments” link. I just saw that the other feathers piece is in dark gray in the new HP set with Buckbeak.

   Hmmm, I wasn’t too taken by the other parables, in terms of illustration-potential.

I was thinking of the foolish man who built his house upon the sand, the good Samaratan, some of the more metaphoric ones like the “the Word is like seed thrown on various soils” one.

   I actually did do Jesus walking on water, briefly, in one of the stories for The Law.
Aha! http://www.thebricktestament.com/the_law/false_prophets/dt13_01.html I knew I wasn’t completely nuts. Partly, sure, but not completely.

   And furthermore, my girlfriend is going to kick my ass if I don’t get back to illustrating the Old Tetsament “where all the good stories are”. You’ll have to forgive her slight Jewish bias on the matter.

I’m personally looking forward to seeing how you approach some of the completely non-narrative things like Psalms and Revelations.

(...) That's the same torso as Simon Peter in The Final Appearance -- my custom hairy chest torso. (...) 'shoppery. @8^) (...) That would be handy. (...) Yep.
