CCAS livestream videos

I get email announcements about the current series of (fall2021) livestream interviews being moderated by Geoff Strout, Thursdays at 6pm pacific time. I've missed every livestream so far, for too many excuses to bore you with, but since the interviews (usually about an hour+ long) are saved on the CCAS facebook site ( https://www.facebook.com/christiancomicarts/videos ) its completely easy to go back and listen to them later. Full of great insights, advice, and connection; these interviews are really worth hunting up and listen too.

Introducing: "Waypoints" from Drawbridge Creations

9595170495?profile=RESIZE_710x

Introducing a new ministry that may be of interest to fellow comics creators and fans. Would love it if you would check it out and share with any cartoonists or manga fans in your life. 

“Waypoints” is a manga anthology series produced in Japan, featuring stories taken from the Gospels, with each tale told from the point of view of someone whose life was changed by encountering Jesus, each story illustrated by a different artist in his or her own style.

Waypoints is brought to you by Drawbridge Creations — a web-based manga outreach with the three-fold purpose of reaching the unchurched, resourcing the Church, and empowering Christian artists, in order to bridge the gap between Church and culture; between Jesus and Japan.

We truly hope Waypoints will become a useful and effective tool for missionaries in Japan and others who are looking for creative ways to build spiritual bridges with Japanese people (or English-speaking fans of manga). Please check out this series at waypoints.jp (Japanese) or waypoints.jp/english. Or find out more about our ministry at drawbridgecreations.com.

The Spirit Seeds Book 1 Reviewed by Trina High

I'm so excited to announce that my graphic novel The Spirit Seeds Book 1 has gotten a professional review from OnlineBookClub!!! Big thank you to the reviewer, Trina High.

"The trailer for this tale says that readers will suffer a side effect of "obsessing over the story," and I can certainly testify to that! By page three, I was deeply engrossed in the telling, and I didn't stop reading until I'd completed the book. And then I read it a second time the next day. Then I reread my favorite parts a few days later. ..."

Hope you enjoy!! 😄

BRYN print edition

I haven't posted here in a while, but some people may remember my webcomic LABS from a couple years ago.
 
I wanted to announce the new print edition of my webcomic, BRYN.
 
"BRYN spent the first thirty years of his life as a science experiment. A year ago, he was rescued. Now he's trying to deal with the trauma and find a normal life. But there's something out there and it's not done with him yet."

Like almost every other Disney+ subscriber my husband and I have been thoroughly enjoying Loki the TV series. Unlike most subscribers we have also been struggling through endless hoops and obstacles of the IVF process (in vitro fertilization) because we cannot have babies in the typical fashion. Now, the other day CCAS hosted a FANTASTIC panel on the CCAS Facebook page discussing themes and insight into the Loki series (which you can watch here: https://fb.watch/v/gbWL7ySfa/) but I found insight into my own life and walk with the Lord.
 
The TVA (Time Variance Authority), within the Loki series, is in charge of enforcing the protection of the Sacred Timeline. Now this brings up ALL sorts of discussion as to what makes it so sacred and who makes that decision but you will just have to listen to our panel if you want to know my thoughts (and the thoughts of my friends) on that topic, instead I am going to focus on the fact that I follow a God that has chosen a path for me that is my sacred timeline. Now I had previously started thinking that I was, like some of the characters on Loki, blindly following my path. I was reminded by a dear friend that I question (and like today have been known to yell at) my God and I follow ANYWAY in faith. This is why I love the stories of comics and tv.
 
I can't be the only one having these little epiphanies. Let me know of any recent life epiphanies from your favorite comics or comic inspired movies and don't miss our CCAS discussion about Black Widow tomorrow July 29th (7/29) at 7pm Pacific / 9pm Central / 10pm Eastern! As a future parent to a child that will not be biologically related to me I had a unique love for this movie...

What do we do now?

How do we inspire the creation of characters true to those they should represent? How would women in comics change if their stories were written by women? What can we do to change the mindset of women in comics? What are some of your favorite women in comics and why? (favorite characters, writers and artists) What is it in your life that you think you cannot accomplish? What do we (I) do now?

'SAMSON:Rise' Comic Available Now!

When Covid19 lockdown started in March last year (in Australia), Daz and I started creating this SAMSON comic together. We agreed to do an 8-page mini comic and make it as awesome as we could, just for fun. We also decided to make it mature, as in for teenagers and adults, not kids. Pretty soon we agreed it needed to be at least 12 pages. 6 months later the art was getting attention, and we expanded it to 16 pages. Now it's 20 pages, we also have a statue designed 🤯 and there's posters on the way. 

Here's possibly my favourite page in the comic; where Samson goes nuts against hundreds of enemy soldiers, with just the jawbone of a donkey. We spent AGES trying to make this page look cool.8914523456?profile=RESIZE_710x

Want to read it and see ALL the art? You can get either digital or print versions here at Terminus Media:
www.terminusmedia.com/samson

Hope you like the illustration! And I appreciate your support!

Created entirely using Clip Studio Paint :)

P.S. Please let me know in the comments if you buy a copy as a result of seeing this, I'm just interested to know how many followers of my art here will actually support my work :)

The Spiritman Update 352

Spiritual realities once concealed have been opened to Chelsea. It's too much and she's out of there. What are the implications for us as we seek God?
