Hey All!
I recently did a drawing of Martin Luther with a quote underneath, "My conscience is captive to the Word of God."
I've started my first Kickstarter to raise funds to have it printed as an 11x14 print.

If you're interested, or if you are willing to share this link with your friends and family on your social media, I would be much appreciative.
Thanks!
Paul

love it. Wonder how many people get the "goose" in the background? Good stuff.
Thanks Lance, I wonder that too!
Ah, love this illustration! Hope you're able to print this by some other means
Thanks Matt!
I may post it on a site like redbubble or something as a print.
Also, I think I just saw some of your stuff in the Reformed Canvas Facebook group. Awesome stuff!
Nice! Thanks man, and congratulations!

Hi Tom,
The Kickstarter was fully funded, and the book is now available for purchase on Amazon.
Hey Eric,
Martin Luther was a great man of God!
How did your kickstarter go?
Tom
I imply nothing, but have directly shown that Luther was a hater of the Jewish people.
From Wikipedia:
On the Jews and Their Lies
In 1543 Luther published On the Jews and Their Lies in which he says that the Jews are a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth."[13] They are full of the "devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine."[14] The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut ..."[15] He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness,[16] afforded no legal protection,[17] and these "poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time.[18] He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[w]e are at fault in not slaying them".[19] Luther claims that Jewish history was "assailed by much heresy", and that Christ the logos swept away the Jewish heresy and goes on to do so, "as it still does daily before our eyes." He stigmatizes Jewish Prayer as being "blasphemous" (sic) and a lie, and vilifies Jews in general as being spiritually "blind" and "surely possessed by all devils." Luther has a special spiritual problem with Jewish circumcision.[20][21] The full context in which Martin Luther advocated that Jews be slain in On the Jews and Their Lies is as follows in Luther's own words:

I would choose another hero if I were you. A born again follower of Jesus Christ would never do what Luther has done. Luther's quotes are found at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC and at the one in Israel.
Hi Paul, I wish you the very best with your Kickstarter and will pray for its success.
Are you implying Luther was responsible for the Holocost?
