thanks for rubbin' shoulders with us 'plebs' :) It must take ages to do the quality paintings you're doing- I'm sure what you call 'failing' is pretty excellent. if I may, I just posted this -it's my attempt at a Gospel comic (I was working on Mark) http://api.ning.com/files/ep4kXE-JaaQOjuRDAGE7qDWc311KnDWP21WkcG2fYhT91YYUWwitPC0EOvzdtRTvG2TOccFxXkSBtu5uCl08Xm8IKGhxetG1/Marktract03A.jpg__It still has to be approved so I hope you can view it-
your profile pic is pretty unreal- did you paint it? I hear what you're saying (on someone's wall) that there's a need for more comics over your way- it's the same in Australia. All the best. Keep fighting the Good Fight. ;)
Jeff,
Welcome to the CCAS. You should post some of your work. Looking forward to knowing more about you. I pray that you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Welcome aboard! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS!
If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let http://christiancomicart.ning.com/profile/ScottAShuford and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011
In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.
