Love those classics
Every once in a while, at my former church, we’d break out the old (and I mean old literally) hymnbooks for a Wednesday evening hymn sing. People would call out the numbers of their favorite hymns to the songleader and … Continue reading

Blind man poster
I was finished with the posters but tonight decided to use an old sketch for this one. Based on Mark’s account of the healing of the blind man, I tried to capture the reaction and emotion of the man’s experience … Continue reading
