Colorizing Reunion


Found this sketch of Jacob and Esau by jesusonlysavior.deviantart.com while I was doing research for a sermon title slide a month or so ago. The reference for the sermon was going to be the reuniting of Jacob and Esau after Jacob had swindled his older brother out of the birthright and ran off. I downloaded a copy of the black and white sketch of this scene for inspiration - inspiration of the kind of emotional quality I was hoping to achieve with the slide. The actual sermon slide ended up being some visual pun about burying the hatchet. The sketch sat on my desktop for a week or so before I felt compelled to colorize it. I wish I was better at the whole light source thing. I tend to ignore the light sources when I'm coloring and tend to color whatever part however I feel like coloring it. I'm sure if I started keeping that more at the forefront of my mind, the end products would be better overall.
Anyway, I enjoyed working on this. I've posted it on my deviant art page, but haven't posted much else on there yet, so don't you all run over there to see what's new because you've seen the newest stuff since I post them here first. It's hard to keep up my online portfolio, this blog, the deviant art page, the behance page, the writing portfolio, the flickr and pintrest and.... yeah, you get the idea. Somewhere in there I've got to do some real living - in which skills, I'm sorely lacking.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
