Hello everybody, my name is Piet and this is the very first time I been on a chat room. I have been drawing a comic book about the book of Acts. I just got on my computer to see if their is any websites that I would be able to talk to folks who are…
"first of all, you can post samples of your work in your photo section of your CCAS page (or post them in this section by hitting the upload files button).
Illustrating the book of Acts is indeed a worthy and detailed project, as I have been taking…"
"I can't tell you much, only this: When dealing with the Bible, especially new testament stuff, you'll be treated like a pariah, even with "Christian" publishers. Don't be fooled, Christianity is a market. If you need proof, check out the…"
"Glad to hear you are working on Acts. Like you, I find it very rewarding to draw bible stories one verse at a time. One of the best experiences in seminary was when I took Biblical Greek, and was forced to slow down to a snails pace. It allowed time…"
Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
Welcome aboard! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new CCAS Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS!
If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site.
To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Thanks for your discussion post. Post or join in a forum discussion topic, post your own blog entry or upload your art or video anytime. :)
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."
Welcome to the CCAS. I see that you are local to the Southern California area. We have a monthly meeting of the CCAS very close to where you live. We meet on the 1st Saturday of each month. We are actually going to have a meeting today 03/07/09. I know this is short notice, but if you're able to attend, you can contact me at ralphellismiley@verizon.net. I can forward you an agenda. We meet in Santa Fe Springs right down the 605 fwy. You should definitely post some of your work on this site. May the Lord richly bless you and your household.
