Annie Brand fuses faith, wit, and ethics to turn ancient stories and modern chaos into comedy that ignites laughter, insight, and a spark of joyful reflection.
But that’s the beauty of it - faith isn’t flat, it’s fractured. The Bible’s not a selfie; it’s a collage of humanity, painted by a creator who clearly ran out patience and said, “Let’s make salvation abstract!”
Picture this: the Old Testament, but painted by Picasso. You open Genesis and think, “Ah yes, the Creation… or a certain Canaanite king wearing a crown made of hair from the armpits of camels.” Every story’s a cubist fever dream…
Every prophet’s face is sideways, every miracle’s got extra elbows, and scattered on the canvas there are goats in coats that is definitely judging you.
And Job. Poor Job - he’s basically a Picasso self‑portrait titled ‘Man Having a Bad Day in Twelve Dimensions.’
It’s divine chaos! You don’t read the Old Testament, you decode it - like God handed you a Rubik’s cube and said, “Solve this, and you’ll understand suffering.”
Noah’s Ark looks like a human shelter surrounded by triangular heaps of colourful animal poop. Moses? He’s got three noses, two tablets, and an unwanted golden calf. Jacob and his sons, broken fragments of a family with a disfunctional existential crisis.
In Budapest, there is a fountain that looks like an open book. At regular intervals, a sheet of water curves to one side to give the illusion of a page being turned

@CyrilRamaphosa This war didn’t start a year ago. It’s been going on for thousands of years. History showed over and over again what happens to men who choose the side against His Nation. We pray your eyes open before it is too late to see who’s side you are realy on. Goodnight Mr President.
@News24 The journalist that ran with the story before confiming the facts and therefore made false allegations should be fired. Ditto for the editor. For the record I don't like the Braai guy and don't watch his program but it is about ethical journalism.
@WesternCapeDA@alanwinde DA I am in Tritonia Road, Bloubergrant and it is now 25 hours since I reported a water outage in my area and no one is attending to this incident. Our AirBnB clients are checking out and all holiday residential businesses in our block are suffering because of this.
