my new favorite painting

jimmy brought this painting, which he has titled "jesus on a jet ski", home from mexico:


he saw tons of these prayer paintings when he was in san miguel de allende, and chose this one out of the bunch. rightly so, it is awesome. the text at the bottom is the man's prayer to jesus that he be spared from getting rabies from the dog that is currently ravaging his shoulder.

apparently when leticia (jimmy's stepmom) purchased it, she talked the guy down from its original price of 300 pesos, (about 30 bucks). i need to get down the mexico soon - i want to start collecting these.
