Brother Erspamer is clearly just a derivative knock-off of the English Catholic artist Eric Gill.

Here's another one that shows how closely Erspamer has copied Eric Gill:

Eric Gill was an early 20th century artist who combined his Catholic interests, he was a friend of the distributists, with his pan-sexuality and admiration of D.H. Laurence, author of "Lady Chatterly's Lover." Was it any coincidence that he became the inspiration for post-Vatican II Catholic art?

"Portland Archbishop Vlazny is both a member of the USCCB subcommittee on liturgical music and chairman of the board of Oregon Catholic Press."

Does Vlazny draw compensation from OCP? Is this a conflict of interest?

Actually, I am a BFA, and Art has been a major concern of mine.
I love the religious art of Bougereau, Tiepolo, Rubens and Raphael.
As for prints, I like the work of Gustave Dore. I also recognize that my preferences reflect a post-Medeival humanism. The author Michael D. O'Brien who is also an artist prefers the pre-Renaissance art of Icons that are still produced by the Eastern Orthodox churches. He does make a valid point for the transcendental nature inherent in iconography.
My ultimate task is to integrate the transcendant art of the icons with the immanent art of the Renaissance and post-Renaissance period. Still trying to figure it out.
