Casey on his work:
I am interested in the history of religious illustration in the Mormon church and the absence of religious content in contemporary art. I am attempting to bring them together, however uncomfortable one may be with the other.

Wow is everything supposed to be created to YOUR tastes. I thought most people interested in art were open minded, you sound like a politician serving an ultimatum. If you have found 1 artists that you truly enjoy from this site to me that is worth the couple of minutes spent. Remember the artists you find here do not end here it JUST an introduction to their work/career.

what is it?
Comment by iluvferrets — April 29, 2008
ignore the negative comments!! It’s highly conceptual which has the potential to be either incredibly strong or make your work very weak. Personally, i love the composition and color palettes.
While your audience is already very small in understanding your body of work — my 2 cents: focus the work to develop a small bridge to hold the hand of the “outside observers” like “Joanne.”
As for artists/critics…you really shouldn’t post “I usually never make a bad comment about any artist but this I do not get !!!” without researching the work and developing–atleast a small understanding of what the artist is trying to convey. If you’ve done this and can’t find anythingâ??then i’d say it’s a legitimate comment…I guess bottomline: don’t give negative feedback simply because you don’t understand the work; especially if you haven’t even taken 5minutes to learn about them. You found them in a couple minutes through google — and it takes only that long to find that little bit more about them to appreciate the work and the proccess.
Once again. Great work. And keep inspiring!

I usually never make a bad comment about any artist but this I do not get !!!
Comment by Joanne — April 29, 2008
Casey makes true conceptual and eccentric art and he sets himself a hard task. He succeeds but it is for a small audience.
But I guess He places more importance in God than art. and so it shall be.
