This will be my entry into the blog thing.Believe it or not,I've never really had to do it before but I feel since joining CCAS that perphaps I could share some of my experience in pencilling since so many of my friends here have the same passion for comics.The fact that we all have the same desire to promote the kingdom of God thru our various gifts mandates that we should exchange the wealth of artistic knowledge the Lord has blessed us with over the years.The secular region of the comic world has produced outstanding icons in the fields of illustators and I believe we,as the body of Christ,can produce the same caliber and better,judging by what I've seen in my short time here.The main factor I believe we need focus on is that if we wish to demonstrate this,we have to hold ourselves to high standards such as the ones many of our inspirations did in their time.What I mean by that is that just because many of the comic legends we grew up didn't know the Lord,that doesn't excuse us for the hard work,determination and endless hours of perfecting our craft that many of those greats did.Anyone who has spent any considerable amount of time reading comics over the last 20 years knows that the bar has been lowered over the years and that in many cases,good draftmanship,quality storytelling and dynamic anatomy understanding hasn't been given the priorities editors once held as mandatory.It's my hope that God's people will demonstrate in the years to come that we can produce a line of work that is saturated with an anointing resulting in greatness and excellence!!
