Comic Translation of James 4:13-17

Comic Translation of James 4:11-12

I used the history of colonial America for this passage, and because I live in a town that has preserved it's heritage, could actually draw from real buildings. In the 18th century, the Bible was used to teach children to read, as well as to train them to grow in wisdom and faith. There were schools, but most children would be instructed at home.

A pdf file of this passage is found on my website: http://www.earnestillustrations.com/. (I find the quality in the pdf s to be superior to the jpegs that I can fit on this page.) All of the previous comic translations of James are there as well.

Next stop in the James translation: Trade in China in the 19th century.

New Banner for New Year

I decided to have some fun with the banner for the blog this year, and make one that I can change with the seasons.

I am excited about projects that are lining up for the new year. Here is what you can look for in the next few months:

• Comic Translation of James - I am on Chapter four of the book (working on pencils for vs. 11-12 today) , and I expect to complete the project sometime in Feb.
• An Online 'How to Draw Bible Comics" Session- I will be creating a comic translation of a story from Luke's gospel and turning it into a step by step lesson on how to draw comics and special considerations and ideas for translating the bible into comics. I will be leading a workshop later this summer on how to draw Comics and the Bible.
• The story of Peter - I am working with a friend on the story of Peter in the gospels. More news to come on that as it develops.
• More Digital Dailys - I like to work out digital techniques on photos and post them when I can.

Wishing you a blessed New Year!

Westminster Abbey

The sculptures of modern saints at Westminster Abbey was a delightful surprise. Martin Luther King, Oscar Romero, and Deitrich Bonhoffer are some of my favorite heroes of the faith.

Digital Painting Salisbury Cathedral

I was inspired by my family trip to England. Here is a digital painting of Salisbury Cathedral. Cheers.
