Google (Religious) Artist Themes
April 30th, 2008 by Menachem Wecker
Like many of you probably were, I was nearly blinded by seeing Koons on Google today (right), as part of Google’s “Artist Themes.” According to Google, “Now you can put the work of world-class artists and innovators on your personalized Google homepage.”
A quick search revealed only one religious art theme so far, which comes from the blog Christianity Confesses, called “Names of God.” It already has 269 users, and is soliciting comments like “Having the name stand out more would be great and could you clear up the hebrew text? Also, could you put what the name means on the theme too? Thanks and GOD Bless for taking time to put this together!” and “Thanks for makeing this theme!! I love it!!! The Names could be bolder like maybe a brighter color. Other than that I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you!!!!and bless you!!”
The word Abir is one of the names of God (”the Abir of Jacob”), perhaps having something to do with strength, deriving from Genesis 49: 24.
If you design a religious Artist Theme or come across one, mention it in the comments and I will add it.
