if camels didn't have hair, we'd have a lot of sunburnt humpbacks.

it's sunday afternoon. it's been a good day so far. as well, the week has been good too. went to a riverdogs game (baseball for those not familiar with the charleston area) last night...I've been wanting to for a while now and finally got my chance.

i've been working on several art things lately, as I've probably said before...there's another one at the end of this post, even. biggest news is revamping the munch book. i feel like a lot of the original artwork is mediocre, both in terms of quality and layout. i think i can do better. some of the pages I'm not going to like redoing (particularly the spread of munch jumping into the pile of leaves..), but it'll have to be redone, most likely.

and all of that will take about...well,..a long time, seeing as work likes to take up a lot of time itself. and speaking of work, it's either more pay or a different job...that's the ultimatem. so we'll see what happens.

also, for those of you who read this, who don't know yet, i'll be coming up to the rock hill area this coming friday after I get off of work and staying until saturday night. hope to see some folks.
anyway, here's a little sketch, sponsored by photoshop and a stolen stock photo.

This is something that I've been working on for Pointe North's upcoming sermon series titled "Questions". I've got some more to do on it (namely a little bit of color, not much), but I like the way it's going so far so I figured I'd post.

A little something in prog.

It's been a while. Too long. Been trying to get stuff on here and out "there", but haven't gotten anything final done. I'm working on multiple things though, so hopefully more should be coming soon...


A little bit of sketchwork....
becomes a little bit colored.....

more on this later, perhaps.

that, and I've written my first new story in about...well, since I left Rock Hill.

The world had to do a lot today.

So yeah, I said there would be more in a couple days, but now it's three and I haven't quite finished what I wanted to put up here. So I'll put something else. On a side note, I ran into a girl from high school in walmart this afternoon. She's now a police officer and is in the forensics dept. CSI stuff. XFiles was cooler. I don't know what my reaction would've been if she'd been part of that. Dag. No further ado:

I need to stop having cool ideas until I start getting them out. It's called getting creatively fat and sometimes I feel like a slob. Or a slacker. Or a slocker. ...slobber? Peace out.

Saving the world one entry at a time..

So this particular thing actually started out by staring at the bathroom floor tiles at work. No lie. And the stinky cheese actually had nothing to do with being in the bathroom.

There's more from where this came from too...look back for it in the next coupla days.

Cathedrals..

There's a song by Delirious that I've been listening to a lot recently called "The Deeper 99" that's off of their Mezzamorphis album. The main gist of the song is really just one line that says "Heaven is my home", that's repeated with passion, authority and laying claim to.

I was listening to a sermon recently by Rob Bell entitled "Why We Sing", and he was talking about worship in general at one point and mentioned the things in our life that really touch us, that hit our souls at the very deepest. It could be a word from a friend, a part of a movie, a song (with lyrics or without), a waterfall, mountains, anything. He said it was kind of like walking into a cathedral, and the feeling of awe that you have when you do. We feel it because the in that awe, the glory of God is there and we recognize it, our spirits recognize that this is a little piece of the Almighty that is taking place on earth.

Heaven is the anywhere that resides in the presence of God. Different levels of Heaven, perhaps, but it's home. We're wanderers and don't belong here so much of the time...you can feel that in almost every step of the day. We belong in Heaven with God our Father...home is where we belong.

And my hope is this. That place we call home..Heaven.. I think that parts of it are available for viewing here and now. "Your will done on earth as it is in Heaven." Jesus brought the ability to have Heaven here, to be able to see it and know parts of it now. It may be in a movie, or in a song, or maybe it's in a run down neighborhood or a stray dog, where the compassion of God lies. But wherever God has laid Heaven, home, open for the viewing, I hope that you, and I, may be given the vision to see it, and that we may be able to lay hold to it, clutch it to our chest and treasure it dearly, as it is the dearest thing earth.

What nomad in history has ever had a true home on the road besides us?

A little something new..er...
