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?”

Cedric Hohnstadt noted your "Can A Shy Person Make It In The Arts?" blog post on Twitter. Thought you shared some great insights. I re-tweeted it and have added you to the International Animation Links list on our ANIMAX35 site:

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!

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."
I showed my wife and a friend the clip and they were speechless. "A real God and a real hell." "I am running out of time." When we look at our life compared to eternity, we are all running out of time. I am definitely going to send some more people to your site. By the way, I love your sketches. You do excellent work and I pray that the Lord continue to bless you and your family
I just saw the ER segment you posted on your blog site. That was AMAZING!!! It didn't beat around the bush about our need find reconciliation with God, but not on our terms. That to really know God we must approach Him on His terms. I have been inspired by that clip. Thank you so much for posting.
Thanks for the comment and crits on Poseidon, well, the outline was lightened to a point there was none for the black that was there originally, however, when I put in the darker blue and outlined it with that, I wanted the mech ( in the position I had as a ref.) to stand out against the waves, though the sketching was ONLY the mech and nothing more, the rest was created digitally in PS. and this was my VERY first time drawing a mech ( mechanical pieces are not my usual forte') again, thanks for the crits, I do appreciate them. The Idea was that the Mech was standing in the water ( this guy is about 6 stories tall) and the waves are splashing against it's legs and up ( if you are familiar with Mechwarrior, you will understand why the Poseidon has 3 legs and is a TALL one, lol) but that was also after I had implimented the sketch onto the canvas. Hope that makes some sense as to what I was trying for, lol, but live and learn and you are helping, in which I am grateful ( trust me, I AM lol :D)
