Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:
My professional career includes comic book editing, writing, lettering & typography, as well as extensive work as a digital prepress production artist in the print industry. My educational background includes a focus on Christian apologetics and philosophy. My "fan" interests include Golden Age and Silver Age superhero comics, Japanese giant monster films, science fiction & fantasy, mythology & folklore, and the works of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
I was baptised into a Lutheran church as an infant, raised in a Quaker church. Began to take my faith more seriously as a teenager, spent my high school and college years attending a non-denominational Evangelical church. Participated in the certificate program of Christian apologetics at the former Simon Greenleaf University (now part of Trinity International). Later, while in college, attended a small Southern Baptist congregation where I met my future wife, and we are currently attending a local nondenominational church. My spiritual journey has taken me in and out of various degrees of social activism, political conservatism, emotionalism, intellectualism, Arminianism, Calvinism -- but through it all, what matters is not what my own personal struggles or interests may be at any given moment, but the love and mercy of Jesus Christ at work in me.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
My ideal would be to have the time and resources to devote full-time as writer and self-publisher of my own various comic book series. If the question is about playing with someone else's toys, my dream job would be a scriptwriter for DC's "Legion of Super-Heroes".
Favorite Comic Creators:
My ecclectic mix of favorite comic creators include the raw imagination of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby; The script pacing and interwoven subplots of Paul Levitz's Legion Of Superheroes; The characterization and worldbuilding of Kurt Busiek's "Astro City"; Artwise, I like a wide range of styles and as a visual storyteller I'm fond of the rock solid consistency of Curt Swan, the detailed draftsmanship of George Perez, and the panel layouts of John Byrne.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to start up a project that may bring more interaction between the various areas of CCAS -- the online social networks and forums, the local group volunteers, the Alpha-Omega APA-zine, etc.Basically, we're organizing a series…
"The other replies have already given some good answers to your questions, but just as a bonus FYI, I wanted to add some extra links to some really helpful comic lettering tips and tutorials online
One is a lettering glossary and series of lettering…"
One is a lettering glossary and series of lettering…"
"Buzz Dixon wasn't part of this project, but he's still been active in the CCAS convention ministries at San Diego, Wondercon, etc."
"Buzz Dixon was a presence at CCAS a while back; did he have any contributions to AlphaOmega?"
"Looks great! Sorry I missed out & didn't submit my comic to your mag, but I haven't had a lot of free time lately. "
"Thank you for the update Kevin!"
"Don was such a wonderful friend and mentor! I celebrate his life and all that he accomplished, I rejoice that he has moved on to his reward in the loving arms of God, and I’m comforted by the fact that I'll get to see him again someday. But until…"
"wow. somehow I missed this. Hopefully I'll get a chance to send something myself."
"Contributors can either send their hi-res artwork to Ralph, who is forwarding it to us, or you can send it directly to us at ensign_artwork@comix35.org. Thanks!"
"I'm in too. I'll clean this up and add a verse. "
"In addition to drawing the "Golden Protector" character in a pose/composition/design that exalts our Lord Jesus Christ, some contributing artists might consider including an appropriate Scripture verse on their drawing as well. We're hoping that…"
"Thanks Nate! So glad to see the project expanding like this. I hope it can help bring encouragement to Don while he's recovering."

I'm keeping you and Heather in my prayers. I pray that your workload slow down a little. Working six days a week, 10 hours a day can wear on you. Dream of gorillas looking for parental approval and you'll be just fine.
It's gonna be allright.
Thanks,
J
Check out this rejection letter to the apostle Paul. It's funny!
