Now, I'm not proposing that these are necessarily Christian films (not that a film could be Christian or not, but the directors, writers, and actors could or couldn't -- yes, I know, it's a semantics issue, but an important one for me), but they are definitely films with a strong redemptive storyline.

The Spitfire Grill
The Apostle
Saved
The Shawshank Redemption
Chocolat
The Sky Is Watching

Some Goals

Posted by ghosthillgh on September 2, 2007 at 5:00pm

I figured if I spoke these then I would become accountable for these, instead of keeping them hidden to myself. Some are short-term, some are long-term. Here goes:

I would like to get back to doing fine art shows, the last one was in ?1997. I've done several one man shows and several two person shows. Which means I need to produce new works, yea! Find an outlet/gallery for sales of the works. Produce prints, etc. I'd like to do more painting (oils and acrylics), and sculpting, as well as some more pencils work. i'd like to do more experimenting in the digital medium.

Finish, market, sale my tattoo flash art cd.

Comics: finishing coloring Joe Sonntag's Vengeance Studio Reeper-Destroyer comic.

Comics: Several projects for Roman Morales III's Third Empire Studio.

Comics: Revive some of my creator-owned projects from the 1990's:The Agenda, Kangaroo Court, Seal, The Fisherman, The Angel Called Machinehead, Queen of the Pygmies, and many more.

Comics: Produce some recent creator-owned properties: Parlay-A Western Tale, and Control Syndicate.

I'd eventually like to work with Sean Terry, Jason Pell, Derek Ivan Webster(again), Sketch Magazine, Nar, Jon Malin, Dan Prado, Queenie and Pocket Full of Posiez(tm), too start.

I'd like to produce a Grizzly Adams comic (remember the old shows). and Thundarr the Barbarian (remember the old cartoons).

Produce/sculpt/market/sale toys to go with the above goals.

I'm thinking I might start my tourism paper back up...or not, I don't know yet.

I'd also like to get some animated properties going....

I'd like to do a fundraising comic for the National Cancer Society (in honor and memory of family members that have had or have cancer)

There are several other goals, but they have to do with family, home and day job/finances, so I won't bore everyone with that.

Inspirations:

Posted by Roman Morales III on September 1, 2007 at 6:29pm
What gives you Inspirations?

As an Artist, there are many thing, probably unlimited Motivators that light that fuse. What are some of your inspirations that help you design, what kind of motivators do you look for when going after a specific work?

I love Music, various types of music, this is one of my stimuli's, I also love visual stimuli, I love to watch Discovery, Military, National Geographic, History and Cartoon Channels...........

Rain, Thunder (especially thunder), sunsets, the forest, the smell of sage after a rain. and as being a Cop, I love the adrenaline rush of the chase, the contact with suspects and the incidents that arise from various circumstances. I use all that energy that is built up and put it to paper, in words, lines and shapes, and in sculptures.....

Gods handy work in nature, The laughter of my kids, my wifes smile, her eyes....her voice...I've been very blessed by God, and its time to give back and raise Him with what I can do....I hope you can enjoy what I do and see the inspiration that is within the lines..


That is where I usually start,

what are your switches and fuse's?

Overcoming Temptations… Part 1

Posted by Peter D. Mitchell on August 31, 2007 at 9:12am
Download book-ad2.jpg Victorious Christian living
Subtitle: Overcoming Temptations… Part 1
1. There is no temptation if there is no tempter.
The devil doesn’t know everything that is in our minds, but he does know if we have accepted a thought that he suggested… Satan doesn’t know all things so he presents different situations to us to get us to fall. There are times that he fails, because what he thinks might be a temptation to us may not be a temptation at all. But when he finds something that he can hook a person with he’ll use that one thing as best as he can until he destroys the individual with that thing (and for many it’s multiple things that he uses). If stealing isn’t a strong temptation to you, when the devil realizes it he’ll try to tempt you with something else. He’s trying to hook our heart to something that is against the will of God to pull us out of righteousness back into sin. The hook can develop in us if we entertain the temptation long enough. The hook can already be implanted in our soul, or he can even use the hook he has in our sin natured body if we haven’t denied or spiritually crucified our selves- Rom 7:22-25, Gal 2:20, Luke 9:23. The hook the devil will try and use to pull us can even be in the form of a demon/principality brooding/hovering over the atmosphere we are walking into or through on the streets or in a building/house, but this is where we need to know the scriptures that counteract the nature of whichever temptation the devil is using. This is why St. Paul tells us to be filled with the spirit- Eph 5:18-21, so that when the devil comes he has no place to put his hook, because your mind is preoccupied with the things of God. So now the power radiating in your atmosphere caused by the word and worship or prayer disrupts, disturbs and repels the sinful atmosphere trying to influence you to sin. Or there is a detailed word in our spirit that strengthens us not to give in to the devil.
Atmospheric influence:
If there is a great influence of spiritual activity in an atmosphere, everyone and everything that comes into it’s territory will fall subject to it’s power unless something in your spirit is stronger than the spiritual activities happening in that place. Saul wanted to kill David at Naioth in Ramah, but the activity of the Holy Spirit was so high in that place that it caused Saul’s men to prophesy instead of arresting David three separate times. Saul himself fell subject to the Power of Gods Spirit and prophesied the entire night instead of laying hands on David to kill him -1Sam 19:20-23. You can be going to school to become a doctor but if the power working in your spirit isn’t greater than the atmospheric powers of Satan in that place you’ll most likely fall a prey to what ever it’s influencing the people to do. If it’s an influential spirit of failure you can become a dropout, if it’s to make fast and dishonest money then drug dealing may seem more appealing. You can go to a city to evangelize to prostitutes but if you’re not covered and empowered by Gods leading you can end up sleeping with them instead, because this is the influence of the atmosphere you’re walking into. In the same way someone can go to church with carnal intentions but end up getting saved. The great thing about atmospheric influence is that they all become subject to the Christian when he/she realizes the authority he/she has and WALKS IN IT…
2. Eve wasn’t tempted to eat the forbidden fruit in Genesis Chap 3 until the devil opened his dirty mouth and said something to her… but at the same time she entertained the devil long enough to hear and believe his lies. So if you are tempted to do evil it’s also a sign that you’re in a better condition than what you’re tempted to do and God must have a better plan for you, otherwise the devil wouldn’t bother.
3. If the devil has a hook in you the first step to deliverance is to confess it. If you don’t confess it you will always fall for it because you are in denial of truth. It’s the truth that makes us free St. John 8:32 even if it’s a confession of being hooked, so we have to be honest with ourselves… King David said “When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.” Psalms 94:18 . This is where you allow God to take over and become your strength in dealing with the powers of that or those temptations, it is then that you will have inner victory. Let go of your own strength now, and depend on God. This is how the believer lives, not by his own strength and abilities but by FAITH in Gods’ abilities… 2Cor 5:7, Zech 4:6 Rev 12:11
Temptations will always come because the devil will always try, but some days will be much easier than others because the devil and his demons can’t be everywhere at one time and he’ll even go away for seasons as he did to Jesus - Luke 4:13. but remember that temptations aren’t designed to frustrate you but to build your faith and patience in God- James 1:2-4…

The Last Semester

Posted by Devin Parker on August 28, 2007 at 8:53pm
I have until December 14th before I get ejected from the Otherworld of academic pursuit back into the real world of finding an apartment and looking for a job. Marilyn and I did a little apartment-searching online tonight, and while it yielded one or two possibilities, the thought of the future rushing headlong toward me might make me wet myself in fright if I think about it for too long.

I've got crushing student loans looming overhead, demanding to be paid. Praise God, my wife has a job lined up, but thus far I have nothing concrete as far as work is concerned. I got generally positive feedback at Wizard World from editors, but aside from being generally vaporous requests to see more samples - which I'm thankful for, don't get me wrong - I don't yet have a reason to think I won't have to hit the bricks and start job-hunting once we get to Los Angeles. And that first job may well be a non-art-related job, just to help pay bills and rent.

The thing is, right now I can't help but feel as though getting anything other than a job working in comics, or storyboarding, or art of some kind, would be a failure. I know that's not necessarily true, but having gone through four years of art school and having to make enough money to begin the long, long process of paying it off, I can't escape the feeling that I should be handed something more concrete than a degree come December. I guess I've always assumed that I would have work lined up by the time I was ready to graduate; I kind of imagined a line of company representatives hovering over the graduating class, sizing up the talent and handing out business cards. Thus far I haven't seen any evidence of that - some of the friends I've made here who have graduated are still struggling to find paying art careers.

I ran into my Foundation Writing teacher today, and she reminded me to check with the Career Center on campus. Completely reasonable suggestion, and yet somehow it totally eluded me. I've also been planning to really hit up my old teachers for connections this semester, in the hopes that one of them might be able to hook me up with somebody. And one of my teachers this semester got work with Target as an illustrator/graphic designer right after she graduated. So who knows? Maybe my little fantasy won't be too far off the mark?

That's the scariest part for me. I don't know. I don't know how this is supposed to work. One of the main reasons I didn't go to art school until I was 30 was that my parents didn't know anything about the art world, and neither did I. I didn't know where I was supposed to look, whom I was supposed to talk to, what I was supposed to have in my portfolio, and so on. I kind of gave up on the whole idea after a few rejected submissions, figuring I'd just have to make comics in my spare time. But that's exhausting - at least, it was for me (though I think it's likely I'm just easily winded). Coming home from the 9-to-5, I just felt too tired to think about being creative and artistic. But that was then. It's possible I've learned a little bit of work ethic since then...

Man, I hope so.

The CCAS was absolutely essential to my education about comics and the comics industry. It's because of the CCAS that I began networking, and it's what really started this long journey into comic-dom. And that was started because I turned to God in prayer and said, "Hey, why don't I make comics that glorify You?" So I guess I'm asking the CCAS to help me again: pray for me, would you?

Mike Yaconelli was a genius...

Posted by Sean Taylor on August 27, 2007 at 3:40am
If you've not read Mike's book Messy Spirituality, you've missed out on something amazing and genuinely life-changing. Mike had a way of cutting through the garbage to get to the heart of the matter of what it means to have and live faith. These are just two quotes I found this morning as I was looking at some of the stuff he wrote. He died a few years ago, and the world is so much poorer for the loss.

I post these here because I think they have particular relevance to the issue of how an artist who is a Christian (note I didn't say the phrase "Christian artist") can and perhaps should approach his or her creative life.

=============================

For the Christian, there is no distinction between the sacred andsecular. Everything a Christian does is an expression of his faith.Hedoes not make choices based on the religious significance of thealternative. As a Christian he makes the choice that is a logicalextension of the values he has derived from his faith…

=============================

Whathappened to radical Christianity, the un-nice brand of Christianitythat turned the world upside-down? What happened to thecategorysmashing, life-threatening, anti-institutional gospel thatspread through the first century like wildfire and was considered (bythose in power) dangerous? What happened to the kind of Christianswhose hearts were on fire, who had no fear,who spoke the truth nomatter what the consequence, who made the world uncomfortable, who werewilling to follow Jesus wherever He went? What happened to the kind ofChristians who were filled with passion and gratitude, and who everyday were unable to get over the grace of God?

I’m ready forChristianity that “ruins”my life, that captures my heart and makes meuncomfortable. I want to be filled with an astonishment which is socaptivating that I am considered wild and unpredictable and…well…dangerous. Yes, I want to be “dangerous” to a dull and boringreligion. I want a faith that is considered “dangerous” by ourpredictable and monotonous culture.

=============================

Predictability and faith cannot coexist.What characterized Jesus and His disciples was unpredictability. Jesus was always surprising the disciples by eating at the wrong houses (those of sinners), hanging around the wrong people (tax collectors, adulterers, prostitutes, lepers), and healing people on the wrong day (the Sabbath). There was no Day Timer, no strategic plan, no mission statement; there was only the eager anticipation of the present moment. The Pharisees wanted Jesus to be the same as they were.His truth should be the same truth that they had spent centuries taming. But truth is unpredictable.When Jesus is present, everyone is uncomfortable yet mysteriously glad at the same time. People do not like the surprises—even church people—and they don’t want to be uncomfortable. They want a nice, tame Jesus.

News from Harry Miller

Posted by Donald Ensign on August 22, 2007 at 6:45pm
For those of you who have been praying for Harry Miller I received a letter from him today Posted Marked 20 Aug 2007

Here are a few excerpts.

Dear Don,

“I already called Felix after I got home to let her know I’m “still alive.”

“Besides meeting all the wonderful people and staff during my month in rehab, I was surprised to receive a card from Diane Dudoit-Raiche, the director of the national Catholic Educational Association (She’s from my hometown, Lake Charles, La., and the NCEA will get my Christian comic book collection). Anyway Diane arranged for a Mass to be said at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France, as well as the related shrine in Belleville, Ill. for my healing. Interestingly, I regained the ability to move my right leg which I lost use of over 25 years ago when I broke my neck in May of 1980.”

“Besides getting a card and drawing from Felix, I also got good wishes and prayers from John Pierce, you, Chris & Erica Well, Kevin Yong, Robert Marsh, Don Kelly and friends at Holy Spirit Catholic Church without whose help and praise I could never had made it this far.”

God’s blessings on you and AO

Harry M.

Don: Harry was one of the charter members to Alpha-Omega and was on the CCAS Board for a number of years.

Formless Ramblings is back!

Posted by Sean Taylor on August 16, 2007 at 9:47pm
What's Formless Ramblings, you ask. Well, it's my blog of religious and philosophical thought. Okay, more like ramblings or quotes or my thoughts about magazine articles I've read. And some interviews with cool folks about their faith life. Oh, and my own ponderings about what this life of faith means in the real world.

A few years ago (okay lots of years ago -- I keep forgetting how old I am), I used to maintain a website for spiritual equal footing for people of any faith or no faith to at least examine the life of Christian faith. The site was called Form and Matter, and I kept it up for quite a few years before I completely lost time to devote to it. But it's spirit will live on in the blog that used to coincide with it -- Formless Ramblings.

Anyway, just check it out for yourself.

The link is: http://form-and-matter.blogspot.com/

See ya there.

Wizard World 2007

Posted by Devin Parker on August 16, 2007 at 7:49pm
I went to Wizard World in Chicago with my friend and mentor Pat Gleason last weekend. Wizard sprang for a hotel room and convention badge and allowed him to add me as a guest, so all I had to pay for was food and gas. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

The con was good for me. As always, it was invigorating to see other people's work and thus be re-energized to work on my own material. I attended a couple of panels on creating comics and the comics industry, and had the opportunity to show my portfolio to a few editors. The responses were positive - invitations to send JPEGs of more of my work, and talk of the possibility of future projects. I got to see some old friends again, I met George Macas for the first time, had dinner with Ben Avery, and met a few other Christians for the first time (hi, Kim!).

I also rode on the Elevator of Celebrity with Ben. The first time we waited for the elevator to arrive, Lou Ferrigno stepped out. One of the guys who were there waiting yelled, "Lou Ferrigno!" He grinned and said, "Why don't you say that a little louder, guys?" The next time we walked aboard, Michael Madsen ("Reservoir Dogs") and his wife (?) were there. He said he had been wondering whether that theory about jumping at the last moment before the elevator crashes would work. Fortunately, we didn't have to test it, but there was a lot of fanboy weight in there.

And lots of fun was had by all.

Bible stories and saints assume comic book form

Posted by G. Strout on August 11, 2007 at 9:49am
I just read about two new Bible-related comic book projects that are coming out soon. Both sound really interesting. I hope they do well.

"Dust," a series of 36-page comic books published in Grand Rapids, dramatizes scenes from the Bible.
And you can find Dust at its website:

"Stories of the Saints," a series of 112-page comic books produced in Springfield, Mo., specializes in the amazing tales of Catholic saints.

Hello everybody!

Posted by Bud Rogers on August 11, 2007 at 6:44am

I just wanted to pop on and comment how great it is to see something like this from the CCAS.

I first got started with the CCAS around 1992 or so - that's when I first heard about their APAzine, Alpha-Omega. I joined up as quickly as I could. I was privileged to be able to serve on the CCAS Board of Directors throughout the 90s and witnessed the growth of the convention outreach at the San Diego Convention through Ralph Miley and Don Ensign, as well as the outreach into other conventions by George Macas. It was also great to participate in some of their collaborative projects such as The A-O Challenge, Proverbs and Parables and New Visions.

The CCAS and Alpha-Omega served as an invaluable training ground form my later work in comics.

Several years ago, Ben Avery, Sherwin Schwartzrock, Darren Brady and I formed our virtual studio, Community Comics ( www.CommunityComics.com ). Through Community Comics we self-published a couple of titles (HeroTV, Chosen Mortals, and Handel’s Messiah) and produced several other titles such as ArmorQuest, David’s Mighty Men, David: The Shepherd’s Song and Tempest for Alias Enterprises (these are available at our website).

I’m currently working as the managing editor for Zondervan’s line of graphic novels ( www.ZGraphicNovels.com ) as well as organizing a couple of other projects for Community Comics and doing a bit of freelance artwork here and there.

All this is my round about way of saying thank you to the CCAS. I may not be able to pitch in directly as much as I’d like to, but I continue to carry on the CCAS mission with everything I do.

Philosophical Gumbo a la Sean

Posted by Sean Taylor on August 10, 2007 at 10:35am
I've long held that I'm a creature of opposites, a self-professed postmodern existentialist christian mystic believer in absolute truth.Now, if you've studied philosophy at all, you'll know immediately thatthose are the kind of ingredients that make one strange and confusingsoup in which the flavors don't actually complement each other.

Postmodern:
If Descartes is seen as the father of modernism, then postmodernism is a variety of cultural positions which reject major features ... modern(the philosophical concept of modern, not the chronologicalnecessarily) thought. Hence, views which, for example, stress thepriority of the social to the individual; which reject theuniversalizing tendencies of philosophy; which prize irony overknowledge; and which give the irrational equal footing with therational in our decision procedures all fall under the postmodernumbrella.

Existentialism:
A philosophy that emphasizesthe uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostileor indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, andstresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences ofone's acts.

Christian Mysticism:
Mysticism is thephilosophy and practice of a direct experience of God. In the Christiancontext this is usually practiced through prayer, meditation andcontemplation. Christian mysticism aspires to apprehend spiritualtruths inaccessible through intellectual means, typically by emulationof Christ. "If you're a Christian, you're on a tightrope. If yousee yourself more as a "Christian mystic" you're on the tightrope butjuggling bowling balls." -- from http://www.christianmystics.com/

Absolute Truth:
Ingeneral, absolute truth is whatever is always valid, regardless ofparameters or context. The absolute in the term connotes one or moreof: a quality of truth that cannot be exceeded; complete truth;unvarying and permanent truth. It can be contrasted to relative truthor truth in a more ordinary sense in which a degree of relativity isimplied.


How can I believe and hold to all these conflicting tenets? Well, I guess it's that struggle that helps to makeme who I am. All I know is that the postmodern in me rejects easyanswers and attempts to deconstruct everything to find the "truth"beneath the composition (even though typically postmoderns reject thenotion of truth with a capital "T." The existentialist in meacknowledges the isolation of the individuals and places greatimportance on living well in a world that seems to ignore us (at best)or downright antagonistic toward us (at worst). The living heroicallyin that world is the greatest human achievement, seeking to beresponsible for standing up in the face of that isolation. TheChristian mystic in me attempts to makes sense of this all through arelationship with God, and sees that those my existentialism makes theworld seem apart and distant and uncaring, the God who created itisn't, that the postmodern who has become jaded and skeptical canultimately find something solid and real once everything has beendeconstructed and laid bare apart from all it's cultural context. Andthe believer in absolute truth in me gives me hope that there issomething real, something firm that holds true, period, and that if Isearch for it, regardless of its name or what faith has tried to co-optit, it will be there just as real for me as for everyone else who hasthe guts to put everything they believe at risk just to find it.

So,beneath the surface of my skin and psyche, all that mixture ofphilosophical gumbo is going on. And now you know me, the real me. Thedefinition of me, at least in terms of my philosophical understandingof myself, the world, and my place in it. But, in spite of all theheady, self-important crap that is me, I like to watch TV, movies andread books and comics and play (I call it work most of the time) on mycomputer.

All this heady stuff, and I'm still a shallow wack job, huh? But you have to love me for it, right?

(Wait, don't leave. Please...)

What makes a comic book "Christian"?

Posted by Sean Taylor on August 10, 2007 at 10:03am
I'm curious because I've had this discussion with pastors and youth pastors starting from way back years ago when I worked as a music buyer in a Christian bookstore. Of course, back then the discussion was about Christian music. What made it Christian?

The distributor?
The words?
The attitude of the artist's heart and his or her faith?
Was DC Talk Christian and Bruce Cockburn not?

Now I ask the same thing of Christian comics. What makes them Christian?

Is it that they're advertised and marketed as such?
Is it that they're published by Christian publishers?
Is it that they're blatantly evangelistic?
Or can mainstream comics written by Christians like Chuck Dixon and Roland Mann be included?
It is the attitude of the writer and/or artist's heart and faith?

I figure that this group, if any, would be able to help hammer this out.

Personally, I'm a bit more liberal in my definition. (I must be to write for the Gene Simmons line at IDW, right, and particularly to write a book called Gene Simmons Dominatrix, or to be hard at work on so many horror-tinged books at the moment.)

But I feel that almost any story, no matter the language or content (to a large degree) can be a story of redemption. Taking my cues from the Bible, it seems that almost no subject is taboo, from revenge, bloody wars, genocide, sex, incest, you name it. It's all in there, and I'm hoping that gives us earthly creators a grace-filled free reign to tackle almost any subject redemptively. I guess that's my definition at the heart. If it's a genuine redemptive story, it can be called a Christian one, because that's what Christ came to do, redeem.

But feel free to differ.
