Jesus Presley X

Wanted to try out other approaches to the Elvis Illustrated Caps . . . rather than trying to ape the formal qualities of the original ones [see earlier post on this blog], I thought it might be interesting to render them as contemporary kitsch. I was thinking about the satin cushions you can get with Elvis on them . . . White trash ñ Elvis ñ Christianity. The one on the left is also a reference to Tom Waits' "Chocolate Jesus". Not sure how I feel about these at this stage but thought I'd put 'em on here?
