My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
Came to Jesus in 1986, got caught up in trying to "make it" as an artist and drifted far from the Lord. In 1997, I became convicted of my idolatry toward my work and quit art saying I would never pick it up again unless I was doing it for the Lord. In that time I got my call to the ministry and the Lord repaired my marriage and family. eventually I became involved in your ministry and was seeking ways to really make my teaching "stick." One night as I was listening to a program at church I heard 1 Peter 4:10 "each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others." At that point I had my answer I would use art to serve the Lord in preaching teaching and reaching. Everything I am doing today in ministry has come as a result of that.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
Traveling the world using art to spread the Gospel and encouraging other artists to do the same.
Favorite Comic Creators:
Mainly Disney, Sunday comics guys and Eastman and Laird

HI Dave,

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."

Glory to God. One day I was praying and I got that image. I knew I wanted to combine art and video and that image was the perfect image to start with. It was simple enough that I could learn all the tech stuff and yet I really feel like God anointed it. I can't wait to get the next one up. It's almost done. I reworked one of my favorite pieces for a video. It's called Dichotomy. There'll probably be a few less cartoons from me for a little while as I explore what God is doing in this video realm. There are a couple of people doing this kind of thing. If you like my stuff go to youtube and check out Charlene Rice. Seeing her work is part of what inspired me to try it. She's GOOOOOD!

You Can't Kill Love is awesome. It's incredible how God is glorified in the arts.

Thanks Joe,
I appreciate your kind words. It's amazing what you can get out of a sharpie, lol. The way I work drives a cartoonist friend of mine crazy, he prefers to ink with a brush and an ink well. I actually vary the line weights of my cartoons by drawing lines and filling in the space between. It's a little more time consuming but I can ink anywhere with no mess. I've inked on a plane, in a restaurant... etc. I just always carry a sketch book a non-repro blue pencil and a sharpie. by the way if you want to see a different side of my cartoon work go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgqLmKbkXp8

I use a service called Truepath.com which provides a pretty decent amount of space at a very decent price. Email me direct if you have any more questions. I'd like to be of help if I can.

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.)
