"The Whore"                                                     "the Fruit"    

 Artist & copyright : Dani Kaulakis

Of the above art, Dani says:

"The Whore" was originally a cover piece for a graphic novel that I've never completed. The piece in of itself examines the role Eve plays in the genesis story and how biblical narrative paints her as being the "greater" sinner. With this piece I was also trying to draw parallels from her punishment (to lust for her husband, but bear children in agony for it) to the derogatory term "whore" (a woman who engages in sexual acts for fun or money but suffers a severe social stigma for her
promiscuity).

In "the Fruit" piece I was trying to explore the consequences of the
Tree of Knowledge story and how such an action impacts the character in
Genisis as well as humanity as a whole.

"Garden of Eden"  (left panel)  

 Artist & copyright : Jeriah Hildwine

One part of the "Garden of Eden" triptych.

Of the above art, Jeriah says:

"This is the left hand panel. Adam, seeing Eve for the first time, is popping a huge boner: it's literally the first boner on earth! Notice that Adam and Eve are blonde-haired, blue-eyed Caucasians (isn't that how we picture the Bible? Hardly in the Middle East!), also that Adam is circumcised, and that neither of them have belly buttons. Why would they?"

"Black Widow"

Photographer & copyright : Dan Hostettler

Model : Kyla Cole

Of this artistic photograph, Dan says :

"I think it's not a femme fatale when someone is not doing it to

She loves him. She does it out of love.
She wants him so badly to stay with her."
