That's Brett Neal, the artist who creates a history of art series by taking everyday ordinary objects and make them extraordinary. His witty fiberglass sculptures, such as this Beagle in Boots is to take the kitsch object to the point of art at the same time creating a diversion by placing the work of great masters on the object that is totally out of context to the paintings. Pondering the fine line between kitsch and art.  + Brett Neal Calling You For FreedomDedicated to all the people struggling for freedom and dignity in the world. To Be Like This Not To Be Like This Sunday, October 30, 2011Lailahaillallah | There is no God but Allahلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ There is no God but Allah Lailahaillallah NASHEED | Mishary Rashid Al-Afasy  Sahih International So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allah ," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn. ( Al-Baqarah - 79)  Sahih International Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. (Al-Baqarah 117)  Sahih International Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One, (Al-Ikhlas 1)  Sahih International He neither begets nor is born, (Al-Ikhlas 3)  Sahih International Nor is there to Him any equivalent."(Al-Ikhlas - 4)  Sahih International And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostate to Allah , who created them, if it should be Him that you worship. (QS. Fushshilat 37)  Sahih International So have you considered al-Lata and al-'Uzza? Sahih International And Manat, the third - the other one? Sahih International Is the male for you and for Him the female? Sahih International That, then, is an unjust division. Sahih International They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance. Sahih International Or is there for man whatever he wishes? Sahih International Rather, to Allah belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].(An-Najm 53: 19 -25)  Sahih International O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.(An-NISA - 171)  Sahih International Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah , then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.(Al- Imran 19)
