Watchers

Hello everyone, it's literally been a year since my last update... Wow, time really flies by when you're not looking.  I've been working and spending time with my awesome family, God's truly blessed me.

As you may have guessed, I haven't had much time for art in the past 365, but just in time for Easter I do have something for ya.  A new image, all digital, in Photoshop CS4 with a Cintiq (amazing piece of equipment by the way).  I call it, "King of the Jews."  Check it out in my gallery!

I really hope it reminds people of just how much He went through for our sake.  And when you read in the gospels just how intensely He was beaten, this picture is probably more like a playground scuffle than the real thing.  Flogged, struck, his beard pulled out, hit with sticks, spit on, and the list goes on, all the way to being nailed to a tree and crucified with criminals in an agonizing, disgraceful death.  And He went through it all, willingly, because He loved us, wanted to pay our debt, and give us eternal life.  Our amazing Savior!  Jesus Christ.

Doing this piece I wanted to shy away from the typical clean, pristine, white Jesus everyone's become so accustomed to.  He wasn't white, he probably didn't have blue eyes, and He most certainly had more than "one single trickle" of blood coming from the crown of thorns.  Feel free to critique and share your opinions; I always look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.  And thanks for being patient waiting for this one, hopefully it was worth the wait.  I think it's my best piece without a doubt, and how could it not be when God's got His hand in it...  Praise the Lord!

If you don't know Jesus Christ as your savior, or are looking to learn more about Him, please drop me a note, an email, anything.  Don't be shy, reach out, and I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have, and share the greatest news in the world with you.


'Till the next time, God Bless.  And this weekend don't forget what He's done for us, He's conquered death and sin!  Happy Easter to everyone!

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?

CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.

CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.

CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.

Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED

We strongly advise you to send this email on. It is seriously NO JOKE. We don't want to see another life wasted. ITS YOUR CHOICE... WANNA DIE TONIGHT? If you send this email to...

NO PEOPLE - You're going to die.

1-5 PEOPLE - You're going to either get hurt or get the biggest fright of your life.

5-15 PEOPLE - You will bring your family bad luck and someone close to you will die.

15 -25 OR MORE PEOPLE - You are safe from Bloody Mary

Salutations.

Along with a great style and some sweet colors, the content within your creations are astounding; the crossover confrontations are especially intriguing to see, from my view. Thank you very much for sharing your works with us all.

May you have good fortune upon all of your creative endeavors.

All that has ever been created was done so for a reason, even if that reason is just for it to be.
