illFri: Strings

When I was employed at Meijer, they said there were no strings attached...

but little did they know, that I was pulling the strings.

Reverend Fun

I came across this guys cartoons by accident, and I love them to pieces!  This is from the site of a hilarious, and, might I say, brilliant, artist's biblical cartoons.  To be honest, I don't even know who the artist is, but that could be due to the fact that I haven't yet tried to research it, hrmmm...  Anyway, I really love the way this guy uses humor, but stays true to what the bible has to say.  All of the illustrations are fantastic.  

LOL, like the one about the book by Jonah!  No runs, from God, or at least, no one does it and succeeds.  But the first one really does have powerful convictions.  What else are we doing if we're not praying to God?

Pixie Stix are just soooo sugary...

Meijer Draw! 6

So this is really interesting; I found that I did so many more of these drawings than I had anticipated. It seemed for a while that I wasn't finding any time at work (mainly because the fools haven't been scheduling me any hours lol) to draw any of my Meijer Draw!s, but apparently I was quite wrong. I split the different drawings up according to when they were completed, from the most recent on this post, to the furthest back in time in the auxiliary Meijer Draw! blog posts. Wasn't actually sure how to explain that whole thing lol.




two of these drawings seem very familiar.

see what two are not like the other ones LOL!!

do you feel like your back in kindergarten yet?

Meijer Draw! 6-2

Here are the not-so-recent-but-finally-just-being-posted Meijer Draw! drawings 

that were neatly, 

or not so neatly, depending on how you look at it, 

tucked away.

Reading the Word

It occurred to me in the past few days that I do not read the bible nearly often enough. It's an easy thing to say, it really is, and I'll say it again; I do not read the bible nearly often enough.

Let me go back to some of the origins of these thoughts. In my Intro to Literature class I have to answer questions pertaining to an assigned section of a work of literature. If I don't take the time to read the section then I won't do well in answering the questions, and my grade will begin to reflect my ineptitude for preparedness. Basically, in reading the section of literature I am able to prove to my teacher that I understand and have a knowledge of the required text.

Similarly in reading the bible, we can show our Teacher that we know the knowledge of His Word, and the Truth that is reflected in every page. I want to know the Word so well that I can pass every test laid before me by my Teacher, the Lord of heaven and earth.




   1 Peter 3:15-16

     15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander

illFri: Packed

Well, this guy is packed full!

This is a drawing i did a while back, and i really loved it.

The whole thing about this one isn't that there are crazy spiders

de-figuring this guy, it's whether or not they are coming out or going in.

I would love to hear any insight you might have.

Sunflowerman Logo.ai

Sunflowerman, yet again!

I don't know if I have really explained the entire story behind Sunflowerman as of yet, and that would make sense... Sunflowerman's origins, as it were, are quite ambiguous.  All that is truly known about this terrific hero is that he roams the city of Grand Rapids Michigan, protecting the citizens of this grand city. 

All of that is rather superfluous to the idea at hand, which is these logos above.  I had a project for my intro to digital illustration class to make a logo, and what other logo is there to do than that of the greatest superhero to ever haunt the streets of Grand Rapids.  This project was a stretch for me.  I don't do digital artwork, I prefer the real stuff myself.  But this seems to look nice for a web page or for advertising.
