JFlah's Blunders

Here's the "final" poster design. Might be tweaked a little more, but this is basically it. Made the angels subtle and the nativity prominent. Thankfully the boss was around when I was working on placement of the pieces. He helped me choose three angels and decided he wanted the nativity big. Here's the inspiration:

Here's the nativity sketch - sketched elements separately, scanned them at a high resolution then compiled them into the scenes. Wish I'd had more time to work on these, but I think I've done ok in the time allotted. I'm glad God's given me a place to work that will allow me to do creative things like this even though I still feel a little funny about being found sketching when the boss shows up at the door and says 'what cha' doin?'

Did a lot of angel sketches in prep to put together the Spirit of Christmas design for this year. Here are the most successful ones. Only three made it into the final.

This is a fact that has really helped me put things into perspective. Life stinks sometimes, but as the cliche goes, God's bigger than my problems. Not only that, but He isn't vulnerable like me, doesn't have any of my propensities for failure, He's perfect and He loves me... Such a great God!

This is how I've been feeling - trying to be the best at everything but only having brains enough for one - LOL - yeah, I'm a nut.
