HOW DO YOU FIT THE STORY OF JESUS INTO 24 PAGES?

Posted by Matt Baker on June 22, 2010 at 4:15am in PROMOS

The answer is, you can't, but the Australian Bible Society have had a go at it. The full-colour Jesus comic I did the artwork for has been released through the Australian Bible Society website. They're selling them for $1.50 each, which is cheap as chips... cheaper, actually! If you want one, go to http://www.biblesociety.com.au/Selections/Soccer/Soccer_resources.php
and you'll find it there. Cheers! Hoe you like it!

    Hi Martin,
    I didn't have to do TOO much research, because I've been illustrating things for the Bible Society for a little while now, and had put in quite a bit of research already for those other projects. I like to use the Bible Illustrators blog site, as well as various books I have collected about biblical times, and I even used The Passion of The Christ movie for some clothing and building reference. I know that some artists go to amazing lengths to make their illustrations as accurate as humanly possible, but I haven't had to do that yet for the type of illustrating I do, which is mostly for kids.

    What type of research did you have to do? I especially like your clothes.

    Don't feel too badly, Matt. John 21:25 says, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."
