I’ve become a big fan of digital photography, both still and moving. I was never a big picture taker—oh, I’ve got nothing against it and I’m certainly not one of those who annoyingly always try to hide whenever a camera comes out, but most of the times I just don’t think about taking pictures. I’ve tried to get better about that, and with digital possibilities, I’ve improved some.
Some.
I’d been aware of the power of digital for a while. I’ve used digital files generated by…

So I’m writing this particular entry because of this blog post. Not necessarily the post itself, which is just a review of an independent book, but the author’s response to that review. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s gone viral (there’s a blog all in itself, huh?), but it’s certainly making the rounds with small press and indy writers.
Before I get off on that, though, I want to give a head’s…

I’ve been on a “superhero” book kick lately. I posted recently about the book Who Needs a Superhero?, and the book I just finished was of like sort: The Gospel According To The World’s Greatest Superhero, by Stephen Skelton. To Skelton, the “world’s greatest,” is obviously Superman.
I always had problems really “liking” Superman. Not that I thought he was bad or anything, but I found it hard to be interested in a guy who do anything and couldn’t be hurt. Where was the…
ContinueThe '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?”

Hi Roland!
Thanx for your e-mail! Wish that I could send you a link, but I'm STILL not that computer savvy to do this! I DID have a website that had featured a webcomic that I created, but now it's taken down!(long story;I'll explain to you later!) However, my art style is a cross between Jaimie Hernandez,Alex Toth, Jim Steranko, and Jack Kirby! Hopefully in the future, I can wrangle my friend Elgin Boilling to help me create a link, so that everyone can see what I draw like! Thanx again, my friend!

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."
I know of Steven Butler (any relation to Nate Butler??) but I don't think he's ever worked on any of my stories at Archie.
I actually took a Japanese language class at a local community college that has a large ESL department almost overrun with Japanese students. It was so much fun interacting with them! I miss those days.
God bless and thanks for stopping by my page!

It has been a long time since I dealt with Malibu Comics. It is nice to hear from you. How are you and how have you been since then?
Hope to hear more from you.

Things are going well here in the bluegrass state. Glad to read that things are good for you. You are right-- your daughter does have a set of lungs in her.
I'll try to write some more next week-- I'm trying to finish up with sermon and class material for tomorrow.
Mark
you go southern boy!
