Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:
I write stories my comics, draw my comics (pencil, ink, and color sometimes), and sometimes I write music for my comics... but you don't hear music when reading a comic, do you? :P I don't have professional equipment. I use a regular led pencil for the pencils, a regular ink pen for the ink, and colored pencils for the colors. :P So yea, that's what I do.
My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
Ever since I was little, I loved to draw. My biggest inspiration growing up was my cousin, Larry Wade. He was a great artist and got me into drawing comic books... by taking blank computer paper and folding them in half. :) My dad felt called to preach around 2007 and not long after that, I felt like God was calling me to... actually, to be a singer and songwriter. I kept hearing things about using your talents and gifts for the Lord. Well, now I write songs, but maybe God wants me to use all of my talents... which are multiple. :P God made me as a useful tool in His hands, so I think I should use my talents more for Him. :) So yea, that's me.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
Well, I would love to "do it all" with my comics. I write my comics and draw my comics (pencils, ink, and color). My dream job is actually to be able to lay around the house and write songs all day and get paid well for it. :P Comics too though. So yea... :)
Favorite Comic Creators:
Hmm... don't really know... I don't read comics much, just make them. :) Stan Lee is a good one! I guess other than that is... Larry Swearingen, whom I met on facebook. :)

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
