"Welcome to all those who joined recently! Looking forward to getting to know all of you and working together on something awesome!"

Strad commented on Rick Tuma's photo

"This character is brilliant! I really like what you've done with your title logo, as well as the type styles throughout. As far as I'm concerned, you've got something outstanding here. I realize its for newsprint, but it would be wonderful to see it…"

Strad commented on Juan Carlos Baez's photo

"Really like the coloring here, as well as the futuristic city in the background! Even in just this one page, it draws my attention and makes me want to read more. Nice work on conveying atmosphere and expression."

Strad replied to Strad's discussion Prayer Requests in Evangelism

"Let's all try to pray for Scott Shuford as he begins helping out with things here at Christian Comic Art. I know it can be tough to balance work, personal time, family time, church time, and hobbies. Perhaps Scott (and the other board members) can…"

Strad left a comment on Evangelism

"Hi Allen, welcome to the group. I'll be honest that its been a while since I've posted anything here. Seems a little quiet, doesn't it? Perhaps one of you have a testimony to share that has happened to you, or you've been a part of during the past…"

Strad left a comment for Scott A. Shuford

"Hi Scott,

Thanks for the message. I hope to get to know you better, and perhaps help you out with something in the future. My input for the christian comic society is to collaborate on a project with any interested individuals. We obviously have a…"

Strad left a comment for faithstarcomics

"Hi! Let me know if you'd like to chat about anything. I haven't been super active here for a while, mostly because I've been pretty busy with freelance and work (do graphic artistry pretty much full time). But, I promise to get back with your right…"

Strad commented on John Burgin's photo

"Awesome! The place I worked for prints up baseball cards and lets police officers pass them out (they have positive messages on them like not doing drugs, staying out of gangs, etc). I understand they're a big hit with the kids."

Strad commented on John Burgin's blog post Big news about Frogboy

"I can't help but smile when I read this. It's an amazing thing when people respond (hopefully in a favorable way!). I keep searching for ways to encourage the kid's I teach at sunday school. Sometimes it seems like they're bored with learning, but I…"

Strad left a comment for Donald Ensign

"I think training classes would be great - and you know, they could possibly be evangelistic to the rest of the attendees! I will be praying for you and your important work within the art community. I know that writing proposals and trying to garner…"

Strad left a comment for Robin White

"Man, I really like the cartoon! Let's see some more of your work!"

Strad left a comment for RabidFrog Productions

"Very impressive talent - like the technique you've used with many of your panels. Vibrant colors and lot's of expression. On the cover, I especially took note of the text treatment combined with the dramatic stance of your main character. Nice…"

Strad left a comment for Donald Ensign

"Hi Don, I agree that there is some fantastic Christian talent. I hope and pray that we all focus on what God wants us to do with this talent. I know I've struggled in the past with wanting to go my own way artistically - to seek fame and attention…"

Strad replied to Strad's discussion Prayer Requests in Evangelism

"Thanks to anyone who has been praying for my work attitude. I feel that things have been going better and I've established some meaningful relationships just in the past few weeks. I've also had some co-workers share some things going on with their…"

Thanks very much for the awesome input. We are working on several of those things and I'll pass along your thoughts to the board. :) Check in with Eric Jansen on the group project work. I know we have a "street comics" tracs project that we've done in the past, and Eric may be setting up for another round.

HI Strad,

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new 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. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. 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.

At Your Service,

Scott A. Shuford

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."

Strad,
I've just written a proposal to some of the leadership within CCAS to have a Christian Comics Training Academy at the San Diego Comic convention. This would help young Christian comics creatives to get some good training in making Christian comics. This would be a three day set of courses with several tracts (writers, artists, etc) taught by working professionals. Comic books is a largely collaborative media that is a community effort. We'll see if the timing is right for it.
I enjoyed reading the CiV at ASU. It would be interesting if something similar is happening up the road from me at UA (Tucson).
Oh, yes, I lived in Kansas City during 2003-04.
God bless,
Don

Hey thanks for the kind words. The stuff on this site is just a sample. There's lots more at www.skitzoman.com -- and a book too!
Donald Ensign December 18, 2007 at 7:55pm

Strad,
Thanks for the kind comments. Over the past several years we have seen an explosion of very
talented Christian artists and writers. I'm sure the Lord will use this talent to bring glory to Himself through comics and other media. This is a very exciting time to be in comics.

I'm glad that I'm getting some feedback on the reviews. There is some really good material being produced.

God bless,
Don

Strad thanks for commenting on my blog. I appreciate your prayers and I will pray for you as well.

I like the dalek animation. I am going to want to make a short animation sometime between now and March. I don't yet have the exact thing in mind, but I will be working to come up with the idea soon.
John Burgin December 6, 2007 at 5:43am

Hey man, thanks for your comment it is certainly encouraging to hear from you. It would be awesome to team up on a project soon. I will certainly keep in touch. Do you do any flash animation?
Rob Marsh November 20, 2007 at 7:46pm

Thanks for adding me as a friend, and for the comments on the Reformed Fruit video. You know, more than anything, that film was just me 1) playing with Windows Moviemaker and 2) goofing around with the microphone making ridiculous voices. I never got the knack of Illustrator, though I used Photoshop faithfully for December Sun.
I more or less gave up on the fruit, though I do have an idea I've been kicking around, about bringing them back someday.

You're art samples are fantastic! What do you usefor all the 3D images? I've toyed around with Google Sketchup, but have yet to get the hang of it.

Take it easy!

Thank you Christian. I really appreciate your comments. Now, your art is very appealing. I really admire how you contruct buildings and you color sense is captivating. Keep up the awsome renderings.
