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"

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)

STOP & THINK.

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!

Check out this animated tract coming out! I can't wait to see how they finalize it! Then, you'll also get to see a visual on the comic I worked on for Ray too.

The Perfect Stranger

This is a clip from a movie that I thought was pretty good.

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.

Mort Drucker Tutorial Film

This video is sort of a let-down cause it's to be continued.. lol.
It ends with him saying... "To do color correctly...
"I'm like.... what?! What?! What did he say next?!!!!
What a tease.

But a great video all the same.
If Steve Silver posts the rest of
the video, I will post it on here too.

What's Christmas About?

When TV and cartoons weren't afraid
to tell of CHRIST in Christmas programs.

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.

ARTWORK - Freehand: Drawn with the "Markette Marker"
Colored: in Photoshop

Christmas Caricature Gifts! - Face & Body - Freehand

Colored on the Computer for Brightness, but all drawn freehand with "Markette" & "Chartpak" Markers.

lol. okay, here's a few caricatures I drew! I know there's always room for improvement! But, this was my free-hand Face & Body Caricatures... that I have not done in quite a while!

GREG: He just L-O-V-E-S doing this thing called, Parkour. It's some sort of sporty thing that is mixed between "Acrobatics" and well, getting from point A to point B. It's a very active sort of thing.. and well, kids jump from building to building. My older Brother & I used to do something like this.. but we didn't have a name for it.. we just called it Brave Jumping from building to building. (Something, I wouldn't recommend anyone doing!) Could be very dangerous! So.. don't try this at home kids! ;D Also, not your average drawing.. this one I shrunk the head a bit.. so I could fit the background in better.



TERR(a.k.a. animator-terri) & DAN: okay.. so here's the computer fanatics! A lot like me! You'll find me constantly on the computer working like a maniac! Ter is a mega-3D artist who creates models every second I turn my head!!!! Here I emphasized the fact that these two are always updating their computer equipment faster then you can, "click". They've always got the latest software & enjoy what they do! Her husband the computer scientist is there enjoying building something new & improved as always! haha! He really is a computer scientist! I'm not lyin! That's his real title! Ter taught him everything he knows. lol. (okay I might be fibbing a little bit) But everyone knows that behind every successful man, is a wise woman! And here she is! And might I say the both of them are such ambassador's for Christ, as well as Loving & Generous to everyone they meet! They definitely represent God in all they do.




THE SPENCE KIDS: These two kids I've been seeing grow up via-internet.. for quite sometime... through a sweet lady I know from the Spence Family. Their Mom, is full of many talents in crafts, sewing & cooking. Always a joy to see what she does next! Her kids must love her like crazy cause their smiles generate such radiant angelic smiles. These drawings don't do them justice.. But don't forget.. they are only but free-hand cartoons! lol. ;D

This one loves to dance as you can see! She's totally adorable in real-life!

And this one loves horses. He's such a handsome kid!

Love this T-Shirt. lol.

Living Waters / The Way of the Master
- These two college students, held at gunpoint, accidently share
million dollar gospel tracts with their attackers... fantastic! http://www.ketv.com/news/21961479/detail.html Featuring Dale Jackson's Michael Jackson Artwork.

Christmas Party Gig : (black & white - faces only)

okay.. so these weren't that great but you've gotta understand I've been so out of practice drawing for drawing live caricatures cause I've been swamped with doing artwork "digitally" on the computer. I know I keep saying that.. but it's so true! Honest!

So some of these are "okay..." and others are "so, so" & some are just like.. "what the..?" lol. hee-hee. Also, I didn't take photos of all of the ones I did... cause I know some people are a bit weird about having their photos taken. Also there were these THREE awesome "Face & Body" ones I did.. that I totally FORGOT to take photos of! grrr.. Maybe I can get ahold of the people I did it for... and get them to take photos of them for me? Possibly. So anyhow.. that's that. I have like 3 here also that I did for a few people that I will be posting soon as well. Till then, too-ta-loo!

Mike Waters - Joyful Toon

Work, Work, Work

At the moment I'm working on a cd cover for someone. I'll be posting it later... hopefully sooner then later. lol. I also have to draw a logo of some sort. So.. sorry for the lack of posting my artwork lately.

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! :)

Celebrity Doorhanger

Old artwork I know!

But....
Here's a brand new tract that can be hung anywhere, but works especially well on doorknobs. It's printed on water-resistant light-weight card, that makes it perfect for sharing with your whole neighborhood. As a bonus, it is perforated just below the black clapperboard, so that you can tear off the "hole" portion and give it away as a standard tract. See it at Livingwaters.com

TRY AND ??GUESS?? WHO THEY ARE!!!!!
Half of these are Paul Clarkson's brilliance. Two next to eachother at the top mine, 2nd set his, 3rd mine, 4th his. lol.
