I would agree, why limit jewish art coming from only Jews. I’ll tell you why… its because there are very few Jewish Artists actually doing real Jewish Art. Not a Jew doing a landscape, but a Jew painting real Jewish themes. Well, Jewish or Not, you are welcome to visit my Jewish Art site at: http://www.eliebenzaquen.com

and if you want to use my work let me know I’ll be glad to help.

Shalom to all peoples

Hi Richard,
I don’t know if these are the sort of graphics that you intended, but have you seen the scrolls and parchment ketubahs at:

Let me know if any are of interest to you

@tangentlama: I’ve just been experimenting with the new theme and the slideshow & actually it displays images of any dimension or orientation pretty well. So feel free to pass along art, images, links, etc.

Edit
“Surely the point is the quality of the [Jewish] graphic submitted irrespective of the ethnicity of the person who submitted it.”

Apologies for the sloppy wording.

@I second Ellen:

You definitely have the wrong end of the stick. I am Jewish. That is my ethnic identity. I am proud of it. I want to feature this as part of my blog. If I was Palestinian or any other ethnic group I would want to do the same thing on my blog. How will we learn to appreciate the discrete cultures of others throughout the world if members of these cultures don’t try to tell the world about them, what makes them special, etc.?

I think any criticism of this is completely wrong-headed & I’m shocked that anyone would put me in a place where I would even have to explain this let alone defend it.

Ellen: I only meant that a Jewish graphic artist would be more likely to know where to find such sources. If a Hindustani graphic artist found me a wonderful piece of Jewish art I’d be delighted. If an archival librarian who wasn’t Jewish pointed me to a historic Jewish source I’d be delighted.
