Heather Wise, the infamous artist behind the Temporary Jesus Head that went viral seven years ago, is back and copyrighting her creation so everyone can own a piece of the one of the most famous bad art restorations on the planet
Well here I am, seven years later. Arguably, I am known as the artist of one of the worst art restorations in history.
Well now, in the year 2023, the Temporary Jesus Head and me, as the artist, is still being written about. Mark Gentili was the brave first, but he is no longer alone. I’m still being trashed, but those journalists still don't know they are actually doing me a favour. There are a handful of art websites and a few others that are praising my head and me, as an artist.
Within the first few months of my Temporary Jesus Head internet phenomenon, while I was a cleaner in a mall, a lovely young lady that also worked in the mall asked me,"Are you Heather Wise?" I answered that I was and she hugged me. If you search for my Jesus head, you’ll find it mentioned or featured on dozens of websites, including one on the worst art restorations in history that features a cartoon of my head and me. I could not be more humbled and honored.
After all, sacred art and depictions of Christ are just that, depictions, but Jesus is the important part. Online in the middle of the journalist trashing and cyber bullying, I would like to thank everyone who defended me. For more than a year, everywhere I went strangers walked up to me and said, "Hey, you're the Temporary Jesus Head lady — I stuck up for you."
