[kj] Hosannas, The Cover

[Christof hamille]

While I would prefer Colesy at very least get someone who has a clue and 
puts in a real effort as opposed to clipart.  While this is light years 
ahead of 2003 it is still a phone in job.  I liked the company that did the 
XXV Gathering artwork.  This is an excerpt from a very famous painting.  I 
remember it from my art history days.  It is a section of one huge painting.

better than nothing
