Well, I can now cross out “Illustrate a book” from my list of 50-things-to-do-before-I-die (yeah, just 50, I’m not ambitious). I’ve had the privilege of illustrating the latest book by my friend Bill Tuck. He asked me to illustrate his new book on the character of Christ with some of my ink drawings. The book, titled The Compelling Faces of Jesus, is published by Mercer University Press and is available through various outlets. Here is the book description:
In seeking to explore who Jesus is, the author has explored the meaning of the Incarnation, Christ as Teacher and healer, and the rejected, crucified, and risen one. Finally he probes the meaning of the Chris as a present reality and how he can still be known. Tuck writes in a nontechnical way to draw reader into the realization of the importance of personal commitment to Christ if one is to more fully grasp the meaning of Christ’s person and presence. The ink drawings by Israel Galindo invite the reader to probe in a visual manner the rich interpretation of the compelling faces of Jesus.
Here’s the cover with some of my illustrations (click to enlarge).
