Dawkins / Pope
Here's a quick digital doodle I drew this digital drawing for Ray's Blog. Click Here to see his Post: http://raycomfortfood.blogspot.com/2010/04/sunday-times-headlined-richard-dawkins.html
Wedding Commission
Here's one I did just last week. At first I liked it.. but now when I look at it.. I don't like it anymore. I see a lot of things wrong with it that I think I could have done much better on. But I guess that's why PRACTICE is so important. It's one thing to make someone else happy.. and a completely different thing being totally content with a piece of artwork that you did. :P 
An Artist is his own worse critic.
An Artist is his own worse critic.
okay.. I know I've been gone a while...
I've really been pretty busy & not posting much. Reason being: I've had ups & downs, in & outs. I've really had a pretty rough few months regarding my Health.
Things are now looking up, slowly - but surely.. and I give all the Glory to God for that. I also thank all of my brothers & sisters in Christ for praying daily for me. They have been a wonderful support.
"For where two or three are gathered together
in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
(Matthew 18:20)
Also, I've had some time to sit & do some repenting of my own. This is something all of us christians need to do daily. Not necessarily for 'Salvation', but for 'Examination' of ourselves to make sure we are walking in the faith. I'm grateful that a sister of Christ of mine was bold enough to tell me she got a word from the Lord to forgive someone I know. I thought I had forgiven them, but every time I thought about them... an annoying attitude would arise about all the things that irritated me about them. That was the key factor that made me realize that I hadn't completely forgiven. As a born-again christian, we have what the bible calls a helper to guide us through these tough challenges, so that we may overcome them.
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you." (John 16:7)
That helper is God's 'Holy Spirit'.

Before I headed out.
So, before I headed out to visit home, I had finished up "The Life of Charles Darwin" comic book for Ray. It was fun to work on. I had a blast. I wasn't able to post too much cause I had a lot going on EVERYWHERE! I'll be posting each thing slowly but surely. This is the front page of the comic. You can 'READ' & 'PURCHASE' the entire thing by clicking -----> HERE.<------
It's all full-color & all hand-drawn. The only thing that is digital is the 'text' & the 'color'. There is outrageous controversy over this.. as always with the atheist, when it comes to christianity exposing truth.
JESUS SAID:
“If the world hates you,
you know that it hated Me
before it hated you."
(John 15:18)
So anyway, I've always been exposed to comics for nearly all my life.. but never really got into actually doing it. lol. Nearly all my colleages from back home all draw their own comics like crazy. I'm not putting myself on their level.. but, I've gotta say.. that's a whole LOT of tedious work! But so much fun at the same time! :)

Long Time Out - sorry for that!
whoops.. I totally forgot about my blog. I've been on a month vacation in the U.S. and it was awesome! I enjoyed Sunny-Florida & the bible-belt of Cleveland, Tennessee. David & I had a fabulous time.. and I didn't want it to end. But like all earthly things... things eventually come to an end.
Also, I heard that Corey Haimes died at the age of 38. Don't miss heaven! Seek the Lord while you have the gift of breath.
I've been giving a lot of my time to Facebook lately.. mainly because that's how I can keep in touch with my family, friends & see photos and what not. If it weren't for them.. I'd probably only be posting here on the blog.
Anyways.. I missed a few people while I was in Florida... and it was either cause they themselves were working.. or because David & I were enjoying our time in themeparks or with family. So I apologize for anyone I didn't get to see. Not that any of those ppl ever come to my blog.. (they spend their time over in FB).

Behind the Scenes at Livingwaters.
VIDEO 4.
This one has a cool magic trick at the beginning containing the celebrity millions that Dale, Paul & myself worked on. Afterward, you'll see the "Darwin Comic Book" I worked on again. Then, 2 books that Cedric Homestead worked on too. I've been a fan of his for a long time. His work is brilliant.
The artwork I did was 1st drawn in pencil.
2nd I inked it with a "Faber Castell" Pitt Pen / (Brush Pen).
3rd colored it in "Corel Painter" on my wacom tablet.
4th Finally, I did the font work in "Photoshop" combining it altogether.
You can purchase the comic at a low price of $1.95
at Livingwaters.com & view the comic there too.

Old Caricature Stuff
Here's two old caricatures I did for a company called, "Faith Computing" I'm not sure if I ever posted it. I drew & colored both faces & the car that you see in this picture. The LOGO itself, WAS NOT drawn by me though.
Drawn in "Corel Painter" & colored in "Photoshop"
Drawn in "Corel Painter" & colored in "Photoshop"
9th Commandment - in Color
"Don't lie against your neighbor (Do not lie) The One-O-Nine"
okay.. well, I posted this a while back.. but the video wasn't finished, I guess. So "John Ligon" the author of all the books from,"The Father's Blessing" re-did the video. I did the drawings in this one.. and "Paul Clarkson" did the color.
Now, the "4th Commandment" Book is what I've been working on now. It's got some amazing artwork by Molly who is also one of the artist. She is brilliant in what she does. Now in my drawings of the 9th book. I INKED everything in the computer using, "Corel Painter IX" & "Photoshop". Molly on the other hand, did & still is doing the 4th book in pencil. I'm taking her drawings into Photoshop.. Duplicating the line work, then Darkening the levels & brightening the white space so, it'll look clearer. Also, I'm removing any extra marks that may have appeared there through the scanning process. Then, if there are any opened shapes where the linework doesn't connect. I'm connecting it. Then finally, I can color her work.
Here's a sample from the 4th Book (coming soon!):
I'm truly liking her style heaps more then mine! I'm so taken by each drawing I get from her. Check out her incredible work at www.idleillustration.com
Here are some verses that go with the "9th Commandment":
1.“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
(Exodus 20:16)
2. "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”"
(Matthew 15:19,20)
3. "So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good?
No one is good but One, that is, God.
But if if you want to enter into life,
keep the commandments.”
He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, “ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
The young man said to Him,
“All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
Jesus said to him,
“If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions."
(Matthew 19:16-22)
4. "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
(Revelation 21:8)

Barbara Cameron's "Full House of Growing Pains"
If you haven't read this book, "A Full House of Growing Pains" you are missing out! Barbara Cameron, (who is the mother of 4 - the "The little Growing Pain - Kirk Cameron" & also of Candace Cameron from tv show, "Full House", as well as Bridgette & Melissa Cameron) pours her heart out in this story about all her own personal trials she dealt with in her life. The good & the bad. She was very brave to have been so honest.
It was of great delight to me.. I was very grateful... and ashamed I didn't read it sooner! It takes me a while sometimes to get to the books I have sitting on my shelf! lol. It was so difficult putting the book down. I just wanted to continue to read on. This book will make you cry & laugh feeling every bit of emotional experience. It's given me a sort of relief to realize I'm not the only female in the world who has so many clusters of emotional thoughts running through my mind constantly. lol. ♥
So, I had this photo below taken of us back in 2006. It's a terrible photo of me, I know.. but I had been so tired from driving like 8 hours by myself & then, attending the "Transformed" event.. which I must say was Incredible!

Origin of Species Book - Ray Comfort
This has nothing to do with art.. but I thought this was great.

Behind the Scenes at Livingwaters.
VIDEO 1:
Here's behind the scenes at livingwaters. A lot of work has to be produced for such a limited amount of footage. Reminds me of the days I used to work in Casting with Mel Johnson CSA. Watching how much time would take place to produce a 'series for a show' or a even a quick 'movie scene' seemed like FOR-EVER to get done.. and then it would only be between 40 seconds & 2 minutes of actual footage! :P The scenes would be shot like 40 times in a row. It was rare to do one that only took 4 takes or less. But it was a super-learning experience all the same. I left "casting" so I could get into "drawing".
In this video you'll see Brad & Dale's incredible editing talents, Paul Clarkson's artwork (left screen on Brad Snow's monitor & my own as well (right screen) being fiddled with for the "Celebrity Playing Cards".
VIDEO 2.
Here is another one. Sharing all the details of what goes into the audio, etc. LOL. This one makes me laugh.. cause here I am trying I am at home trying to put together a small little home-video of David & I. I've been editing audio like crazy! Adding in BG music, lowering volumes, etc. It's been fun so far. But I've been using like 4 different programs just to edit like 4 minutes of my rookie home-video. hee-hee. Aw-well. It's certainly no livingwaters professional output.. but it's fun all the same! :D If it comes out good.. I might share it with you guys. Don't hold your breath though! haha! ;D
At the end of this you'll see the "Ray, are you afriaid to die?" tract with Paul's brilliant artwork of the beatles. Then, you'll see the doorhanger-tract with both of our artwork hanging in there.

Caricatures of me - by other Artists.
haha.. I don't know if anyone has ever heard of "Wittygraphy". But my good friend, Jimmy Pereira introduced me to this awesome free website community for Caricature Artists! It's got hundreds of members & they are all swell artists! A very good place to learn & pick up a few pointers through the many style of art out there. Not only that, but every now and again, you might get a surprise of someone drawing your mug every once in a while! Check these two out!
This one below is by, "EM". Stands for... uh.. not sure! lol. But he does great work all the same.
This one was drawn by, "Rúbel Mujica" from Venenzuela. He's only been drawing caricatures for 1 year! And he only does it as a hobby. Apparently, he purchased "Keelan's Book"(my old boss from Disney) - called, "Let's Toon" & it's obviously helped him a great deal.
Maybe eventually, I'll show a bit more of other people's work that I have accumulated & stashed in my computer somewhere. I have gazillions of these that people have drawn of me. They are each so different too! They all make me laugh. I love being drawn funny! ;D

What I got for Christmas? lol.
okay, over here in Australia... most people have either "Evaporated Cooling" or these wide box type "a/c wall units" that you can buy.
Being as silly & whiny as I am.. I was missing the standard "Central Refrigerated Cooling" I've lived in all my life, back home. Especially during the "heat waves" that occurred here last year. The evaporated cooling is like a fan type of thing that will sort of humidify & cool the house down.. but to me, it just does not do justice during the summer months. When I have to work in a hot office with computers - it's not very comforting nor is it easy to concentrate. It reminded me of those hot days working outside at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.
So, after much patience, a gentle husband & God's Blessing, I finally got the proper a/c I wanted. Now, I can't even tell when it's hot outside! YAAY!
So of course, I had to make me a little reminder of this little "humble-lesson" time in my life that the Lord got me through.. so that I will always remember not to take it for granted.
