A Lil Art... with a lot of ink.

I started doing these pieces when i was a freshman at Biola. All starting with a simple loop, which turned into an image resembling the Eiffel Tower. From that tower shadowed a picture of the Great Commission. The calling to go to all the nations... and love with with the Gospel of Jesus. That vision became my first piece and was my only until i graduated.


This summer i bought a blank canvased prayer journal. As i sat on the swing one morning... praying for friends, i began to doodle on the back cover. From that came my second piece. A little more personal, yet one of my favorites.



Then the ideas came. One for Rhaylee with her dedication verse. One for Heather and James as they get married. One for Matty and his heart for Africa. One for Kenny and his tattoo vision. The more i doodled, the more the ideas came. And as i began to do more pieces, more people learned and grew fond of them!

Rhaylees dediation verse: "As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance. But, as he who called you is Holy, you also be holy in all your conduct. For it is written, you shall be holy for I am Holy."


"Love is patient and kind, it does not envy or boast. It is not arrogant or rude. It does not insists its own way; it is not irritable, or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things!"
1 Cor 13:4-7

Africa... do you see the elephant? : ) Matty came home from Hume with a heart for Africa.... i made him a reminder of that!


So why do i post them on my blog. Well... i have gifts for a reason. And maybe my art could be a blessing, contribute to or inspire someone else! I am working on my first tattoo... with a few more requests. Do you need a t-shirt design? Are you going on a missions trip and need a piece to auction off? Want a unique gift for a loved one? Want a piece of art for your home? My supplies are simple. Paper and pens. Depending on the size you'd like, maybe lots of them! Everything is freehand. Except the ideas... those are a lot bigger than me !
Enjoy!
