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

I was saved after the strategic efforts of my friends almost 20 years ago. Since then I have always sought ways to interpret my journey of faith in the form of comic story telling. After suffering a serious assault by a neighbour my light hearted comic book doodles took a dark turn as I struggled with unforgiveness. My current project is the result of that trying time which has now expanded to be a unique story retelling elements of the Book of Judges in a fictional modern world. It is not a comic "for" Christians, its a totally secular story, but it is laden with biblical references, quotes, names, events and concepts. As a comic it is meant to be the first part of an elaborate gospel tract, a covert tool that your friends may have laready read that you can use, that you can unpack the message at its core. message that is at the root of the gospel message, one that if we dont understand then we cannot understand the true need for the Messiah. There is none who are good.

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

Favorite Comic Creators:

"I think its less about Political correctness and more about adopting a model of moral relativism in storytelling in general. Which is a double edged issue I think. Sure it adds more depth to antagonists and makes protagonists more "real" but it also…"

Welcome to the CCAS. It's good to have you with us. And we are always up for some lively discussions. I pray that the Lord richly bless you.

Ah. Well, if you're going to make a pitch to Image Comics then you've got my prayers. Our God can fulfill the biggest dreams in His manner and timing.

Go with God, Ian.

Ian, great to have you at CCAS! You say you're from Hamilton...near Glasgow, right? Which is weird because you don't type with an accent. I mean, I can understand you. I would say something about 'make yourself at home,' but I see you're already rattling through the archives and picking out what you like. Awesome.

Is there any site where you've got some samples of your work?
