I am a TRADITIONAL MORMON and I follow TRADITIONAL MORMON VALUES

  • I am a COMMUNIST
  • I believe in PRISON ABOLITION
  • when I see someone being HOMOSEXUAL or TRANSSEXUAL, I mind my OWN DAMN BUSINESS
  • I support ROBUST URBAN PLANNING
  • I think all young women should learn INTEGRATED PEST CONTROL
  • I like my women how I like my men: VOTING IN EVERY ELECTION and BECOMING DOCTORS
  • I believe people are INHERENTLY GOOD and need to be ENCOURAGED WITH COMPASSION, not CONTROLLED WITH AUTHORITARIANISM
  • I think HANDCARTS are the BEST WAY TO TRAVEL
  • I practice WITCHCRAFT, MAGIC, DIVINATION, and ASTROLOGY

Re: the third bullet point, This beautiful piece is currently on display in the Church History Museum. It used to hang in the temple in the early Utah days.

Keychains, magnets and prints of it are available in the museum's gift shop.

Hey!

I think the current trend in LDS art is for artists to look to their cultural and ethnic roots for inspiration, using Mormonism as a lens for their roots or their roots as a lens for their Mormonism. For example, an artist named Ahmed Jamal Qureshu made a piece called “Mazmuur Naafi: The Arabic Psalm of Nephi” where he uses Islamic calligraphy to look at a passage from the Book of Mormon.

But when the artist comes from a Mormon-centric background, like multigenerational members in Utah because it turns into an ouroboros of culture. And that gets stuff like this piece from the ARCH-HIVE’s latest show:

I think they’re both great, but I think it’s interesting that they’re both doing basically the same thing.

Fun update on that first art piece: a print of it is part of the Church History Museum's current exhibit, along with other very unique pieces from throughout church history.

My Brother got Baptized last month, and his favorite song is "Armies of Helaman"

So, I painted a Book of Mormon for his Baptism (and disclaimer, I'm definitely no Professional Artist. This is just something fun I wanted to do for my Lil Bro)

On the Front, we have a Son of Helaman

On the Side, we have "Book of Mormon" & his Initials in Deseret

On the Back, I have a line from the song "Bring 🌎 His Truth")

And just inside the Front Cover, a Deseret Alphabet Chart

This is an excellent example of Mormon Folk art. Painting Book of Mormons (Books of Mormon?) is something I've seen many times, usually it's with flower designs or temples. Painting a human subject is a twist I haven't seen too often and I don't think I've ever seen the Deseret Alphabet utilized so this is an wonderful expansion of the preexisting body of folk art.
