From time to time I have showed you some art by artist Daniel Mitsui, who has a blog entitled The Lion and the Cardinal, an obvious Patristic reference which never fails to delight me.
I want to remind you of some of the fine things that he has relating to Lent and Easter.
I was looking again at the fine Crucifixion he did.
A glimpse.
A detail.
Another detail.
And another.
And there is a Resurrection.
For example:
Coat of Arms by D Burkart
on Daily Rome Shot 1388: “Fr. Reader: There is unquestionably transmission of Masses online. However, there are different modes of participation when one is in…”
on For those who want a less Catholic parish…: “Could the cleric in the photo possibly be +McButterpants arriving for a pastoral visit? That’s just as I would imagine…”
on Another bombshell from Diane Montagna about the extremely dodgy excuses for the cruel “Traditionis custodes”: “Great work Diane! One has to wonder than if Bergoglio purposely went against the results because he couldn’t be bothered…”
on That puts things in perspective.: “I sincerely disagree that the dispensation meaningfully applies to all Catholics in the diocese. At a minimum, any (adult) American…”
on That puts things in perspective.: “They did this stunt for covid and most never went back. Guess they didn’t learn. Do they ever? Its all…”
on Another bombshell from Diane Montagna about the extremely dodgy excuses for the cruel “Traditionis custodes”: “in other words, Synodality!”
on Daily Rome Shot 1389: “That photo and the “less Catholic Church” photo made my rather sad day. Does the prayer against demonic influence work…”
on Another bombshell from Diane Montagna about the extremely dodgy excuses for the cruel “Traditionis custodes”: “Kudos to whomever prepared your new Tracer Bullet cover!!! All it needs is a price of 35¢ within a circle…”
on Another bombshell from Diane Montagna about the extremely dodgy excuses for the cruel “Traditionis custodes”: “Diane Montagna is quickly becoming the greatest Vatican reporter on duty right now. Absolutely terrific work.”
on Another bombshell from Diane Montagna about the extremely dodgy excuses for the cruel “Traditionis custodes”: “You know what Pope Leo could do to restore trust in the institutional Church? Simply be transparent. No more secret…”
on Another bombshell from Diane Montagna about the extremely dodgy excuses for the cruel “Traditionis custodes”: “Or as Sir Humphrey might have put it: “The precise correlation between the information the Dicastery communicated and the facts,…”

But Father, but Father!!!
I don’t have the cash to get any of his work, why do you tempt me so??? :D
His work is breathtaking, amazing.
Pure greatness. I like the mitochondria-thingies in the crosses, and the general creepy-crawliness of the whole background. Good work, Mr. Mitsui.
I think all of his work is excellent. I hope to be able to buy some of his work eventually…
There’s something in how he fills in even the tiniest spaces in his artwork with detail that reminds me of M.C. Escher.
Art,
Good point, now that you mention it I see it too.
But Escher’s complexity and detail has a frightening element to it — its end is confusion, dissolution, chaos and death (I’m thinking of some of the peculiar humanoid creatures, and particularly the reflection in Escher’s self-portrait holding a glass globe). Something is missing. And Mr. Mitsui provides that missing element.
Hopefully I shall be able to afford to purchase one of his prints soon.
