Yes, yes I am . But I can still spot a demon head in the clouds with a red circle around it and giant arrows telling me where the eyes, nose, mouth and horns are…[/quote]

Gawd, I wish I had your recognising “faces” in pictures skills. Just didn’t win the genetic lottery. DAMN!!!

There, there. You just posted in a thread you know nothing about. Common mistake.

Yeah knock yourself out. I’m sure you’ll find enough spelling mistakes, poor grammer and posts that took 12 minutes to give yourself an orgasm.

It’s not as mysterious as it seems. The guy was formally apprenticed.

It is even debatable as to whether or not he actually painted them.

Damn! That is lifelike!

I can see My face in there. And a motorboat.

Is our resident artist asleep at the switch, or what? Come on ID, do you see a devil, nothing, penis with wings?

And do you understand the numerology and how it equates to astrology that is actually coded in all that fluff?

If you look closely there’s a dog driving the car…

the artist may be trying to intimate something about Francis’ libido
if you knew which angel or apostle and gospel is represented in that quadrant, you would know to which aspect of his personality he assigned the manifestation of that impulse, perhaps

I, too, am sending summoning thoughts…

It has been too long since his last resurrection…several months at least.

What dog?

When I read any of Krohldaddy’s posts, it’s in Stephen Hawkings voice.

You passed the gay test.

But apparently not a reading comprehension test!

It looks like a pretty clear demonic face to me.

It really isn’t that much of a stretch though if you look back at a lot of the classic frescoes. Many of the painters were more or less forced into service. Lots of them hid things like this in there paintings.

The face looks entirely different than the rest of the clouds.
