Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:
Cartooning, illustration (multi media skills: vector, pencil, watercolor) and some limited web design.
My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
My father was a minister when I was a child and looking back it seems like I was born a believer. Regardless, I made sure of it in kindergarten or first grade (not sure exactly) by officially accepting Jesus Christ with the guidance of a Sunday school teacher.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
I would love to one day have the time and resources to work on a graphic novel set in the End Times. 3/4 written and limited character thumbnails sitting in a variety of sketchbooks. Right now I have to concentrate on supporting my family ...
Favorite Comic Creators:
Steve Ditko (early Spiderman work), Johnny Romita Sr. (early Spiderman), Jack Kirby (just about anything and everything he produced), Winsor McCay, Charles Schultz (I own an original daily that he traded to me for one of my early cartooning gigs in the mod 1980s!), Milton Caniff, Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes) as well as many others.

"Thanks Stephen! God has been reminding me recently to stay aware of what His has given to me and to avoid the human temptation to claim all the credit for those gifts. I certainly do not want to force His hand so that taking back is the only way He…"
"Bob, this is great stuff, man! I'm sure God is honored by your efforts. Go for the finish line . . . you'll make it."
"Ha! The bearded men in my drawings are me. You've made me smile with your comment."

"Though I cannot offer any advice regarding income from Christian comics I can urge you to draw as much and as often as you can. Consider it as something similar to an athlete training for the big event. That way you are ready to go if and when God…"
"Kathleen: just sent up prayers for Bill a few minutes ago. I relate strongly to how he is feeling, though my situation has not gotten that rough yet. I work in the graphics department of the Chicago Tribune and we're all feeling shell-shocked these…"
"I'm glad the Elevated strip gave you a lift! Funny story, that strip: the writer is not a believer and is kind of rough around the edges, yet I felt strongly that the Lord wanted me to work with him. We still maintain a casual connection - mostly…"
"In all honesty, you'll have better luck if you can afford to pay the folks who help. We've all been 'victims' of free work/art fro someone with a great idea (at least three for me. Check out the Egg Boy strip and Elevated). For each of those…"
"One of my favorites in this set of drawings. Looking at this I can actually feel the breeze catching the garment."

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...

Hey Rick, sorry I haven't contacted you untill now, BUT, your work is Absolutely OUTSTANDING!! BOAST in Him that He gave you this unique GIFT..Give Him GLORY BECAUSE he made you, SOMTHING NO one ELSE is to
HIM..THERE'S ONE Rick Tuma, Alone, And Jesus LOVES You!
Really nice work (good sense of line quality). I enjoy your touch with digital coloring as well (It doesn't have that tired digital airbrush photoshop appearance which is refreshing).
