How can I get grants for creating art?

I have a BFA and I’m not nescessarily thinking about grants for graduate school, just grants to produce art work. I work mostly in 2-D: printmaking, painting, photo and drawing. The subject matter of my work for the most part deals with nature. Thanks for your advice.

Was Martin Luther, the great leader of Protestant thought, a Jew / Muslim Hater who fathered the HOLOCAUST ?

The father of the HOLOCAUST in Germany :::

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?—Martin Luther (Germany)

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

“I hope I shall never be so stupid as to be circumcised; I would rather cut off the left ****** of my Catherine and of all women.” — Martin Luther

“If we are to remain unsullied by the blasphemy of the Jews and not wish to take part in it, we must be separated from them and they must be driven out of the country.” – Martin Luther

Jesus did not call them Abraham’s children, but a “brood of vipers” [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, “He has a demon’ [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a “brood of vipers”; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: “If you were Abraham’s children ye would do what Abraham did…. You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham’s but the devil’s children, nor can they bear to hear this today.——Martin Luther

Learn from this, dear Christian, what you are doing if you permit the blind Jews to mislead you. Then the saying will truly apply, “When a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit” [cf. Luke 6:39]. You cannot learn anything from them except how to misunderstand the divine commandments…——Martin Luther

St. John Chrysostom: “I know that many people hold a high regard for the Jews and consider their way of life worthy of respect at the present time… This is why I am hurrying to pull up this fatal notion by the roots … A place where a ***** stands on display is a whorehouse. What is more, the synagogue is not only a whorehouse and a theater; it is also a den of thieves and a haunt of wild animals … not the cave of a wild animal merely, but of an unclean wild animal … When animals are unfit for work, they are marked for slaughter, and this is the very thing which the Jews have experienced. By making themselves unfit for work, they have become ready for slaughter. This is why Christ said: “as for my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me’ (Luke 19.27).”

Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.———Martin Luther

Moreover, they are nothing but thieves and robbers who daily eat no morsel and wear no thread of clothing which they have not stolen and pilfered from us by means of their accursed usury. Thus they live from day to day, together with wife and child, by theft and robbery, as arch-thieves and robbers, in the most impenitent security.
——–Martin Luther

However, they have not acquired a perfect mastery of the art of lying; they lie so clumsily and ineptly that anyone who is just a little observant can easily detect it.

But for us Christians they stand as a terrifying example of God’s wrath.—–Martin Luther

…but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God’s anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!——-Martin Luther

However, we must avoid confirming them in their wanton lying, slandering, cursing, and defaming. Nor dare we make ourselves partners in their devilish ranting and raving by shielding and protecting them, by giving them food, drink, and shelter, or by other neighborly acts..——Martin Luther

If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews’ blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.—–Martin Luther

They [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did…

If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs.—-Martin Luther

Martin Luther: [ in his last sermon, four days before he died, ] called for practical measures: burn their synagogues, confiscate all books in Hebrew, prohibit Jewish prayers, force them to do manual labour, and drive them out of Germany.

How come most preachers talk about forgiving one sins and the love of God but tell only part of the story?

How come when preachers talk about forgiveness of one sins and the love of the father, they seldom talk about the consequences behind our sins. For example. If a child went out, robbed a store, killed the owner of the store and went home and confess to his mother what he did. Will his mother not love him still? Will she not forgive him for the wrong he did? If he asked his mother for forgiveness and promise that he wouldn’t do it again. Would his mother just love him, forgive him and just let it go or would she love him, forgive him and turn him over to the police to be charged for what he did? I believe if we intentionally sinned, I do not believe that God will just forgive us without some kind of discipline for our action? I believe God will still love us and he will forgive us but we still have to face the music for our wrong doing. Just like Jesus warned the man he healed. John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

Where to find oil paintings of Paris?

I’m looking for an oil painting of Paris. Hoping to find a website that has a large collection with ability to order online/phone. I figure since I’m looking for something specific I’d have more luck finding a large concentration of that one thing online, rather than at an art gallery. Can anyone help? Thanks :)

Tattoo memorials for pet dogs?

If you cannot be open minded and objective about this question, please be respectful enough to keep your biases against tattoos to yourself. Thank you.

My dogs are my life and I’d like to get tattoos as memorials to them. I have only lost one dog at this point in my life so a portrait would work at this point but realistically I plan on having too many dogs in my life to have a portrait done of all of them.

Therefore I need something that can ultimately be grouped together with each individual part representing a dog. Paw prints are a possibility but are very generic. Flowers would be sufficient but hardly represent dogs.

I love the Rainbow Bridge poem but I’m reluctant to have a tattoo of a rainbow because of something else it may suggest (not that there’s anything wrong with that :))

If you were to remember your dog in the form of body art, how would you? Do you have any suggestions for my position? I’m not asking for specifics, as I strongly feel that tattoos must be personal.
Oh! I should have mentioned this- I am limiting myself to an image or an image with very little wording incorporated because there are already a few “quotes”/verses that I already plan on getting. Just like I done want to be covered in portraits, I also don’t want to be covered in words.

I already have an artist in mind who is creative and excellent at doing realistic, eleborate and accurate portraits.

Thanks for all the great ideas, everyone!

I’d love to know how you interpreted any part of this question as an attempt to seek validation. In what portion did I ask whether I should or should not get tattooed? You’re bothered by a memorial to the most significant part of my life. Would a meaningless, grotesque image of a dragon or skull fit better into your idea of a worthy tattoo?

I am a 12 yo boy that weighs around 140 pounds, how do I get rid of the weight?

When I was about 9 years old I started gaining weight, and I was in 4th grade. I’m currently going into 7th grade and I **** being the fat kid. Nobody teases me about it or says anything about it, but I just want to be able feel comfortable with myself. I am 5′2 and weigh around 140 pounds. I used to go to martial arts, but stopped that a few months ago. I occasionally play tennis. I am also planning on signing up for lacrosse during the next school year. I also never eat junk food, my parents are complete health-nuts. And since I have food allergies I can’t have the many sweets that have soy or nuts. I also never snack. I do play a video game on my computer, I used to play for hours a day, but now I don’t even play every day and I continue to gain weight. I have tried the workout tapes, and the doctor says it has nothing to do with my diet. Nothing seems to be working… How do I lose this extra weight?

Would this cause a copyright issue?

I’ve been using polymerclay for about 11 years now. Other than making minatures animal models I also do fan art. A while ago I made scuptures of characters from the Krypto the Superdog tv series as well as krypto related comic characters and my fan characters. I plan to do models of my fan characters and auction them off on ebay( I know some other Krypto fans who’d be interested them). But anyway one person suggested talking about me selling some Krypto sculptures on ebay. I had thought about that but decided not to do so cause the characters are copywritten, but then again somebody sold a polymerclay model of Jerome from the Ginga densetsu Weed series on ebay.

Think if I decided to auction of scuptures of characters from the Krypto series or any other cartoon fan art would that cause a copyright issue?
