Copyright and Trademark confusion

Hey all, Just trying to get clarification for what I need to do to register and protect my characters as intellectual property. The government websites are vague at best when it comes to fictional characters and such. Do I need to apply for a Trademark or a Copyright to protect individual characters? Thanks!See More

Creative Direction

Hello all, I'm posting this because I'm at a loss and not sure how to proceed with my current project. I have a good beginning, a good ending, and some good scraps of ideas with no solid ground. Essentially, I'm wishing I had a group of fellow believers and comic enthusiasts to be a sounding board and assist with the idea process. I'm reminded of the comic industry in the way they will have meetings where they throw ideas around and play off of one another and decide the direction of their…See More

Well, Happy New Year everyone. Nothing like the coming of a new year tolet you look back and realize you didn't really accomplish anything youcared about. But the last thing I need here is to get all broody.Ifanything, it's a learning experience. I've been pushing myself to draweven when I don't feel like it, or even when I don't feel adequate forthe task at hand. Yeah, it hasn't always been pretty, but it'snecessary.

The Significance of Samson (thoughts for my comic)

When it comes to God's work or intervention in the mortal world, there are typically three things involved (or at least two out of three when something new is presented): purpose, precedence and significance. Any writer proposing a Christian story with supernatural events should consider these key points and also how they are grounded within certain limits God self-imposes. God uses purpose, precedence and significance throughout the Bible to build upon his body of work throughout history, and…See More

Effective Christian Storytelling

Posted on November 11, 2007 at 3:52am 0 Comments

Since this site is about Christian art and comics, I thought I'd collect my various posts on the subject here for general use and curiosity.

----------------------------



Changing mediocrity in Christian entertainment first requires recognizing the problem and finding a solution. Please consider the

following:



We have more means to spread the Gospel in the 21st Century than ever

before, be it through TV, books, the Internet, yet the Church is… Continue

HI RMK,

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,

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."

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 to the Christian Comic Arts Society (CCAS) Online Network!

Did you know that CCAS has monthly meetings in the Los Angeles area? Contact Eric Jansen for more info!

 

Also, members of CCAS have produced the APAzine ALPHA-OMEGA for over 25 years!  We have about five openings right now!  Contact Eric Jansen for more info!  (This is a 30-member active-participation-only photocopied magazine for Christian writers and artists who submit a "trib" every other month for fun, fellowship, and critiques by other members.  Between postage and your photocopying costs, you might pay anywhere from $5 to $25 per issue.)

 

Your current Board of Directors includes Eric Jansen (Secretary,)  and Kevin Yong (Treasurer.)  Both have served as President of the L.A. CCAS chapter.  Kevin is also the Assistant Central Mailer for ALPHA-OMEGA.  Also on the Board are Scott A. Shuford (Vice President) and Geoff Strout (Webmaster.)
