Ever since Saint Vidicon & the Cathodean Order first appeared (as a somewhat minor plot point) in The Warlock Unlocked, fans have instantly loved this fictional Catholic saint who fights against Finnagle, the Imp of the Perverse, and Murphy's Law by turning perversity back on itself.  Saint Vidicon pops up again and again in fan art, filk songs, and the internet.  Over the years, I accumulated quite a bit of Saint Vidicon fan art, and I'd like to share it with you now.  I hope you find it as clever and ammusing as I do! If you're a fan of Saint Vidicon, be sure to check out the Online Shrine to Saint Vidicon of Cathode and Saint Isidore of Seville!

"Saint Vidicon's Icon" by Hannah Shapero	Saint Vidicon Prayer Plaque	Cathodean Rosary
This oil painting imitates the saint icons of medieval Byzantium.	A fan gave this to me.  It's been hanging in my office ever since.	Made from real burnt-out capacitors!
Saint Vidicon's Ring Designed by Morris McGee	St. Vidicon reference in Girl Genius? by Phil & Kaja Foglio	Cathodean Monk Costume by Eleanore Stasheff
Morris McGee, the self-appointed Father-General of the Cathodean Order, had this ring made.  I later incorporated the ring (and McGee) into the book The Warlock Heretical.	In one installment of the popular steampunk web comic Girl Genius, the heroine desperately needs a resistor.  One of her entourage mentions a similar past event involving "Saint Valo", so the heroine hands the leads to another companion, whose body acts as a resistor and completes the circuit.  Sound familiar?  If it is an homage, I'm flattered! (click here to read the comic)	My daughter Eleanore made an amateur post-apocalypse TV series, Pandora's Box.  In one episode, the heroes worked with a Cathodean monk, Brother Robert ("Brother Bob").  This was the costume she designed and built for the show.
