Some New Testament Art

Thank you for your interest and support, @Pepper and @Pinky .
​
Copying unknown or dead languages is like any other art and is merely a rendition of the perspective of the artist like this one done in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew of "This is the King of the Jews".

Sacred, profane and divine, davey. Won't say which is which!

No need to say, Pepper, as your critique says it all, thank you.

Someone told me the Hebrews adopted Greek letters. Maybe in their tradition a certain style of writing with those developed? A calligraphy (what we'd call a "font")?

Possibly, JBR, however, there seems to be more similarities in the script of Latin, Greek, and Roman and then in Hebrew and Aramaic.

English, French, German and Spanish, the so-called Romantic Languages, have their roots in Latin.

Interesting! Should I learn more, I will share it.

This next image was inspired by an Acts Bible study group, and I believe the script is Roman.

On another website, I'm into an involved discussion on allowing concepts to stand on their own verses typically citing sources and submitted this image:

I regularly do something which is free-flow thing I call Scritchy-Sratchy where I'll take a pencil and randomly make marks on a page and see images within them. Typically, I play classical music in my Art Room, but yesterday wanted to put on an old fav, Jesus Christ Superstar. As the different tracks played, I made Scritchy-Scratchy sketches with my character in the parts of Jesus, Judas, etc. and this is one of them:

How do the images fit the words? So much so? Could you explain it, please?

Thanks for your support and question, @Pepper.

It's a flow of conscious thing, in that whatever pictures I see in my head as I view or hear something, I create an image. The pic of my character Davey Do is put in the place of acting out the part.

In the one with the Hebrew lettering, is allowing his light to shine by taking the bushel off of the candle and by sharing his art. The Hebrew script says "Let your light shine" inspired by Matthew 5:15.

The last one was inspired by "The Arrest" from the rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar which begins with the character of Jesus singing, "Judas, must you betray me with a kiss?" As the rock opera is loosely based on the gospels, this is the part where Judas betrays Jesus, found in the books of Matthew, Mark, and John.

You know which questions to ask, Pepper, and again, I thank you.
