Just checking in to see how your Solomon's Seven cartoon series idea is going, hope you keep up with it, I know that many out there that are interested in Ben10 (I used to watch it XD ) would be interested in this series and it's something I would let my kids watch when they're older (1 in the oven and our son is 15 months at the moment lol) Will be praying for your success!

Hey, glad your little girl likes ZooWhiz, stoked! I'm hoping it's a big success, as my job relies on it.
I'm gonna check out Zeke Meeks, the name alone sounds cool.
As for work for childrens ministry, that's a noble goal. Maybe we'll get to collaborate in the future!
Me, I'm still working on ZooWhiz, hopefully we will keep upgrading it for years to come. As well as that I'm like you, going from project to project, doing bits of graphic design as well as illustration. At the moment I'm working on finishing off an advent calendar.
Well, I'll check out the Zeke Meeks stuff and whatever else is on your website. You still developing those awesome kids with bible powers? That picture is what drew me to your art in the first place, I think you're onto a winner there, man.

Cheers,

- HI Josh,
Happy Thanksgiving! 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 me 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.
At Your Service,

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."

Seriously, what are you going to do for a sequel? X-Men comes to mind. You could get a metal nail file to play Wolverine.

Steve English said… - makes perfect sense, thanks Josh. I fancied the London background but wanted to liven it up a bit, then I remembered your page. I'm guessing you're about 5 hours behind me. Hope you are having a good day.

- Hi Josh,
I'm trying to edit my page and wanted to put some of my cartoons over the city scape of London (where the CCAS logo is) a bit like the way you have done (yeah I'm a real copy cat!). How did you do that?

It's Steve here. Just joined today or yesterday (can't remember now!) how did you get on with with that Zuda / DC thing.

CCAS at Comic-Con
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.
Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”
