- Website:

- Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:
- Writing, Drumming, Video Gaming. I'm interested in all aspects of creative fiction, and all mediums in which it can be expressed. I write better than I draw, but I don't draw well at all, so I guess that's not saying much.
- My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
- God saw fit to impart His grace upon me through Christ. I can be nothing but humbly thankful for His gift to me; The gift of Himself. While I have known Christ since childhood, He is patient to reveal Himself to me more and more through life experience being informed by His word, the Bible. My hope is Christ alone. There is no other Rock upon which I stand, though I admit to failing to recognize Him from time to time, becoming distracted, in my liberty, from looking to the Liberator for all. I rest in Ephesians 2: 8-10..."For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
- Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
- Writing my own comic, with art by talented artists, in a position to befriend some of the "top" guys and be able to discuss story, meaning, and Christ.
- Favorite Comic Creators:
- 80's-90's Frank Miller, Mike Allred, Mike Baron and Steve Rude, Ed Brubaker, Geoff Johns, Alan Moore, Chuck Dixon, Larry Hama...
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?”

Welcome aboard! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the CCAS Board members. I want 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 are looking for someone to serve as the prayer coordinator for the group. We are also looking for writers who would like to interview industry people and write up articles for us. If either of those tug on your heart, then please contact me.
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.
Can you post or join in a forum discussion topic, post your own blog entry or upload your art or video now? :)
At Your Service,
Scott A. Shuford

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."
Yes, I've been to Japan. In 2000, spent nearly 6 months while in the Navy. (technically, mostly in the Kanagawa district if that's of interest) I've always had a heart for the Japanese, that's why I'm looking forward to future ministry there. I've yet to take my wife there, you're pretty lucky there.
