Brush #1

brush-#1-12-09-.jpg If you believe that cleanliness is next to godliness than this might be the thing for you.

Brush #1 was designed by Patrik Fredrikson ($128) and is from the very interesting Studio/Gallery/On-line store called Citizen:Citizen.

We in no way mean to offend, and we hope that viewers see the bizarre charm in this and not the blatant comment on the icon. (Ooops. did we just point out that there is a blatant comment being made?)

Let me great this straight--you post a lighting fixture made of antlers, and you nearly wet yourselves while apologizing to all the animals and their lovers (even though antlers are shed annually), but Christian symbols are fair game (NPI) for those clever and oh! so cynical artists?
It's offensive, and I'm Jewish.

I think it's boring, and I'm NOTHING.

I don't find this offensive at all. And I was an altar boy.

My bank account finds it offensive. ;-)

FINALLY! a useful purpose for a symbol of hate.
I wonder if Benedict scrubs the Vatican toilet with this?

luigi, how nice of you to call the symbol of my faith a symbol of hate. If that's not offensive, I don't know what is.

Isn't it nice how religion is such a uniting topic! ;)
Let's get back to decor, that's much more fun.
