It is with sadness for us to inform the community that CCAS founder, Don Ensign, has gone home to be with the Lord. He passed from this life to his eternal glory at about 1:00am Wednesday, March 19, 2014. For those of us here, who knew him, Don will be greatly missed. Don is rejoicing being in the presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Another preview panel from the O-boy Comic strip by me and Kevin D. Lintz. Here archvillain Glooma shields her eyes from the hated light. More to come.
I'm about halfway through the archive of Megan Kearney's Beauty and the Beast, and it is a really, really quality read!
Megan is a Toronto based animator who has a deep love and knowledge of Old European stories and culture, and a definite gift for character development and dialogue. You can find the strip at Comic Fury: http://www.batb.thecomicseries.com/
Beauty and the Beast less of a romance than it is the meeting of two developing personalities that are forced to adapt to each other, and Kearney really knows how to ripen a story in a slow but gripping fashion. Check it out!
I'm trying a lot of new and somewhat weird-in-the-world-of-comics promotional ideas to build an audience for my stories, so I signed up for a class in marketing. Related to the class in marketing is a "scavenger hunt" they produce as a way to get people engaged in social media and push them to experience using all kinds of forms.
I've been working hard on it and I'm in the top ... six? as far as I can tell... of contestants who maxed out on points. So I'm in the tiebreaker round and the biggest point value is an insane challenge to get the most views on a video in response to another YouTube video by Sunday at 4pm (pretty sure that's EST, but I'll have to check.
I've posted one video before - ever. For an earlier challenge on the scavenger hunt. Everybody I'm competing against already has an audience and a business that's formally launched and all. This is such a long shot it isn't even funny.
So I bought the iMovie app (my iPad, a Mother's Day gift, is too old to have it standard) and I did my best on short notice to create a video appropriate for the challenge. The good news is that it's short, has exciting music, and is true. I really wish I had more of my work on the actual iPad because I didn't have time to take photos of everything I've been working on!
Here's the video: http://youtu.be/1RdaSn1yhKU
It would mean so much to me personally if you'd view, like, and share this. Also - if this works, I may have hit on an effective way to promote comics that you can use, too!
Posting a preview panel to the O-Boy comic strip I am working on with Kevin D. Lintz. In this panel, arch villain and enemy of the light, Glooma, is rallying her Gloomtroopers for some, no doubt, gloomy trouble. Hope O-boy can save the day.

CCAS friends, please go vote for 'Raegan and RJ in Space!' at the CSPA ballot link and help 4 CCAS members win a Christian Small Publisher Association (CSPA) award! Two of our R&RJiS graphic novels are up for 2014 CSPA Awards this year!!! Here is the CSPA award link: http://www.christianpublishers.net/14votes/ R&RJiS is a story we wrote and illustrated for Christian kids that is about the first Christians in space, is family friendly, and has no aliens or guns. The CSPA competition is like no other. There are no judges. It is about 'marketing' and 'buzz' only. The one book with the most votes in each of the 12 categories wins! We really appreciate your support if you can go vote for us. I am hoping if we win this award a mainline Christian publisher like Thomas Nelson will pick up our graphic novel series. The instructions are below. Thanks and God Bless. Rich / DL / Dony / Jennifer!

Dear Christian Comic Arts Society Members,
Visual Story Network called the Visual Media Strategy Forum. The conference is running April 4th and 5th this year in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We would also like to recommend, if you are able, to attend the EMDC (Eurasian Media and Distribution Consultation). It runs for four days right before the Visual Media Strategy Forum from March 31st to April 3rd. I think that you would be blessed at the potential networking that could be done during this conference as well.

Well What was intended to be a Sketch of a monster type for my comic became a full drawing instead. I would have to say that I love when you intend to just make a quick sketch to pull an idea out of your head and then it mutates. All of a sudden inspiration hits and BAM a piece of art comes out.
I didn't get a scan of the pencils I just kept going.
Shadow Creeper Ink and Color:
This is a character design for a villain named Glooma. Glooma is the main villain for an idea I am working on titled O-Boy. She was once a being of light called Gloria but she fell into darkness. I was inspired by C.S. Lewis White Witch. I think good villains are important for a super hero type story. Batman has the Joker, Penguin, Ras al Ghul (I hope I spelled it right), Bane, etc. Spider man has Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Electro, the Lizard, Sandman, Venom etc. And I could go on with the likes of Lex Luthor, Dr. Doom, the Red Skull, and many others you know. Villains make heroism shine. In the same way what the devil means for evil God works to good showing how worthy He is. Though Satan rages it only makes God's glory shine brighter.
There are some proportion issues in my drawing but overall I like the design. would love any feedback. God bless.
Just adding a Blog post. My first on CCAS. Glad to be a part of this community and thankful for some of the great people I have already met. Can't wait to explore some more and see what folks are up to. In the meantime, God bless you all as you bring glory to your creator by being creative!
Local art gallery in my area is doing a sampling of Drawing. I entered some of my comic pages and this little strip. I wanted to see if I could draw a working QR code. GOT IT ON THE FIRST TRY!! Any tech savvy art lover will be taken away to my website. Mwahahahahahaaaa!!
