An enormous new cathedral is being erected in downtown Los Angeles. For it, an Ojai artist named John Nava has created 25 enormous tapestries depicting the various saints, each rendered by having a friend or professional model pose. His model for St. Francis Xavier was my pal, cartoonist Sergio Aragonés.
That's right. If you go to this cathedral when it's completed and look up at the tapestry of St. Francis Xavier, Sergio will be looking back at you. Here's a link to an article in the Los Angeles Times that tells about the project.
