Illustration Friday: Remember

My kids love the time at the beach. My son has a bag of shells he collected from our last trip. They always bring back good memories.

Church moving countdown

Our church is getting ready to move into a new building this June. My boss is writing an article for our church newsletter. She asked if I could create a cartoon to go with it.

Here are the sketches in my book

And here is the final cartoon. Caption reads: "He is counting down the days until we move into the new church."

Sketch Diary 4/23/07

Just Miscellaneous thoughts. It's scary what goes through a mind in the afternoon. These are caffeine free too!

Illustration Friday: Polar

Yes, this is a different one for me. I've been exploring some other illustration techniques with PhotoShop.

When the topic for Illustration Friday was announced, I thought of bi-polar disorder instead of the polar caps. Emotions can turn so quickly can't they? I don't want to live purely by my emotions. There has to be a balance, but it is better to do the right thing than doing what feels right.

Pew-EEE

I was playing around with a sketch. This has a little more shading, than I typically. Once in a while, it's good to shake up the technique a little.


Now the pew joke... that is another matter. It was funny when I was seven, but I'm corny that way.

At a kids' School Musical

I was doing some sketching while a kids musical was about to begin. These guys didn't quite want to sit until the event was underway. Who wants to sit when that's what you have been doing all day?

Hypocricy

Today, my pastor talked about the hypocrisy we can all be guilty of if we live purely by following a rule book and without grace. Sooner or later, we're going to mess up. Then we pretend we are "living right" instead of admitting we fall short. Next thing you know, we're judging others and looking down on them instead of admitting we're just as bad.

So I'll say it right now: I goof up. I fall short. There! That feels better!
