More intrigue from the Santuaria de Misericordia in Borja, as that nice old lady who turned the image of Jesus into a sad-eyed monkeybeastling has announced that she wants a slice of the tourist revenue. If we are going to have such a socio-aesthetic construct as outsider art, creativity that benefits from its amateur, outlying, renegade status, does it cease to be worthwhile the moment the artist tries to cash in on it?

Hi Tim! I'm not sure, but as road-crash tourism, "Ecce Mono" is doing them a lot of good at their church. One would hope they would wish to distribute their "good luck" in some truly Christian way? Indigo
