Looking for an Icon of St. Michael

[Orthodox Andrew]

like the one in Bruncvik's profile... http://christianforums.com/image.php?u=22010&type=profile&dateline=1077727398

Can somebody help me out?

[Michael the Iconographer]

That specific icon was painted by Monastary Icons. I highly warn against buying icons from them. Ref the thread from March 19th: http://www.christianforums.com/t105287
I would suggest the following sites for icon prints:

http://www.comeandseeicons.com
http://htmadmin.phpwebhosting.com/mounted.htm
http://www.iconsexplained.com/iec/iec_idb2g.htm

Or if you want one painted, contact me.

I love that image, regardless of the reputation of the company that sells it. I do prefer modern style iconography as opposed to Byzantine/Russian when it comes to Michael. In the older styles, he looks effeminate. I like that image because he looks tough.

Here is one of my favourites in the "old style" (Russian, I believe this one to be) and a website with a bunch of pictures of St. Mike.

Did you ever find an Icon that you liked enough to buy yet?:)

Is there a difference between Orthodox and Catholic Icons?

I'm not going to buy any until I move out. Religiousness is somewhat stifled in this household.

This site http://htmadmin.phpwebhosting.com/mounted.htm has a few that I am really interested in, such as

- St. Job the Much Suffering
- Ss. Cyril & Methodius
- Archangel Michael
- St. John Chrysostom
- St. Herman of Alaska

attached accordingly.

Those are just the ones I've looked at so far. :clap:

Some more I like while I'm at it:

- Christ of Sinai
- Mother of God Wheatfield
- Three Hierarchs
- Sevel Ecumenical Councils

Too bad, but I know how it is. However, I didn't let it stop me from turning turning the basement into a Church.;)

These are some of the one's from the site I thought were great.
