I'd agree with Bruce here, and also note that every other illustrated Bible also
inserts its own spin/commentary in its illustrations.
I think the BT rocks, but I disagree that the illustrations don't carry any
commentary about the text or the Bible itself. They have to by definition - were
it a reprint of the text and nothing more, it would be without commentary.
However, you're artistically interpreting it, and though that may be cool, its
still an interpretation and as such contains the artist's commentary.
I'm a bit uncomfortable with the continued assertion that it is done without
inserting commentary. Brendan, I don't think you mean harm by it, but I do think
it has the potential to be misleading.
Anyways, as always, your work is very well done and entertaining :-)
