My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)

I've been a Christian for over 14 years. I grew up as a missionary kid in Mexico and for the longest time that was my life. When I started going to High School I moved back to the States where I started focusing on other things and little by little I withdrew from God. But God drew me back to Him and now I'm focusing on being an artist only for Him. Since then I've started on my own webcomic called 'The Sparrow Cafe' based on my life growing up in Mexico. With a little bit more flair. I've also been visiting different Churches around the country talking about my life as a missionary kid and as a sequential artist. These are experiences that I love very, very much!

Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)

I would love to be a full-time comic maker plus a writer and continue speaking in Churches! Also a stand-up comedian. I have a pretty good sense of humor.

Alison replied to Tony Snipes's discussion Should Christian Artists Create Tattoos?

"I always found tattoos to be one of the greatest works of art that someone can display on themselves. The meanings behind it are exquisite when they convey beautiful messages as well as memories. I had the pleasure to work with someone at the…"

Hey, Alison! Thanks for the note. Yes, I remember talking to the manager in there late last year. I also talked with the corporate office about stocking the book, but since it is an independent print-on-demand book, the price point just wasn't low enough. But I'm still plugging away! Hope you are encouraged in God's grace and may God bless your endeavors. -Bryce

Welcome to the CCAS. Have you ever had the chance to go to Comic Con in San Diego? The Lord has allowed us to have a table there for the past 12 years. May the Lord bless you in the work that you do for Him in Mexico. You should post some of your work on this site. This is a great place to meet other brothers and sisters in the Lord.
