Philippians 3:10-11 (NIV)

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Glowing Superhero

Tried this tutorial from the Digital Arts website and, although my attempt fell short of the original outcome, with a little more work, it turned out acceptable (I think) You be the judge

Equinox Comics

I really like the Equinox Comics:

Photoshop Tutorials

Tried out one of the best PS tutorials for 2012 and came up with this comp of my wife - Obviously it didn't turn out like the one in the tutorial, but I thought it got an "honorable mention" at least.

Bible Study Tools

I like getting up in the mornings and having my quiet time with God. I try to faithfully do this every morning and usually starts with reading a passage in the Bible and then writing out what it means to me and how I can apply it in my life. I find  that it's a good way to start the day. Put on a little "praise and worship" music on Pandora and get things done. However, here lately I've not been as resolute in my endeavors. I find myself staying up too late and getting up later and not getting that boost I need in the morning.But, there is still hope.

Recently I signed up for emails from a site called "Bible Study Tools". and I get a Verse of the Day and actual study guides/lessons that are truly uplifting! Of course I got up late this morning and the kids are out of school today, so it is a little hectic this morning, but I found an email from Bible Study Tools and opened it up. I'm glad I did.

So, I guess what I'm getting at here is the fact that, even if you feel like getting a little quiet time in and about to say, "Okay, things are a little hectic right now. I'll get to it later", there are resources you can use to spend a little time in the Word and get that boost in the morning that I know I really enjoy

Photoshop + Pen and Ink

Drew this and finished it in pen and ink - then placed it in Photoshop and completed the comp. using selections. Using "layer styles" and "blending options", I had over 50 layers with some 20 different channels with saved selections.

John 15:5

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
