Temple Hideout - SFV

Copies of the SFV board game arrived sometime last week, and I'm reminded of this title that I worked on some years ago.

Tomorrow, we'll discuss in class how not every image we create is used when working in a commercial environment. Projects are heavily altered or even abandoned as development unfolds over time.

These tiles fell by the wayside through the course of licensing approvals and were never printed.

This one is M. Bison's classic stage, dating back to Street Fighter II. If memory serves, you used to be able to destroy those statues back in the day by throwing your opponent into them lol.

Slide for full image + zooms. References toward the end.

Notes and sketching from this weekend's men's retreat with the area Vineyard churches.

David Sheldon and his friend Rhett shared individual stories of difficulty and breakthrough as they each sought to dig a deep well of connection within their pursuit of a relationship with Jesus.

Each made a decision to commit a radical amount of time. Time is a highly valued possession, perhaps one of the most difficult to surrender.

In conversation, David revealed to me that his middle name is also Keith. We share the same name, first and middle, in a different order. David is also a retired illustrator. Such a fun and unexpected intersection.

Thank you guys for the gift of your stories.

It's that time of year! The return of Costume Figure Drawing this fall.

We would love to see our wonderful alumni this Thursday if you can make it!

Come hang out, reconnect, and sharpen up your drawing chops. If you're a student, come double-up your much-needed hours :-)

Snow Mech!

Heavily inspired by an old Xbox 360 game, Capcom's Lost Planet. My kids and I were playing it sometime last November.

Big robots, big weather, and REALLY big insects—they loved the over-the-top themes.

I worked on the strategy guide ages ago. Occasionally, we'd receive a copy of the game ourselves to take home. I pulled it out of the archives over a shared school break. I was proud of the interior of the book at the time... I don't dare share it now 😂

Celebrating 18 years with this gal. We're approaching a time when we've known each other longer than we haven't. We've enjoyed some amazing seasons and endured some tough ones as well. I'm thankful to do it with a friend.

We took this picture at Wynona Lake at the same location where we were married. It was beautiful to revisit the area for an alumnus' wedding. We're joined by three very special girls on the stage now.

Thanks, @joannaloweart , for staying by my side as we navigate this life together.

(Two kids on the second slide, whom I barely recognize)

An abandoned demo from last spring term - rescued just for fun.

Uses LEGO car pictures taken in class, added in photos of Tokyo at night, distorted, bashed, and painted until something comes together. The intent is to encourage alternative workflows. It can be a little overwhelming to make sense of all the fidelity you get in a photo—to much visual info. You have to simplify, cut, push, and pull until it works. It’s a bit chaotic, and I always feel a little out of control in the early stages.

It’s also an excuse to have my TA build one of the Lego Speed Champions cars 😆. They are sooo cool.

This image is basically every Fast and Furious movie and Need for Speed game I consumed in my early twenties 😂

Found this quick demo, scrubbing through some old files from a past Animatics class. Not that anything is necessarily ‘quick’ in animation. For our curriculum, creating animatics is one step above our storyboarding/composition classes, but not necessarily a fully fledged animation. Many of our students push far beyond what we do in the classroom, though, once they understand their personal goals.

This was an attempt to describe the dolly zoom scene that the artists at Disney created in the animated classic “The Lion King.” It’s the moment when the stampede is headed towards Simba, and the camera pushes in, and the foreground and background elements scale. It’s so good, and a clinic in how they worked within the technology of the time by simply planning, scaling, and zooming. Worthy of referencing. There’s a really nicely produced YouTube video that unpacks the whole idea brilliantly.

This past Friday, Bunmi Laditan spoke to our Business Practices class @iwuartdesign on the topics of sustaining creativity, pushing through fear, and hearing from the Holy Spirit as a part of the work God has impressed upon us.

Bunmi has had an incredible story that has been shared through her writing and blogging over the years. One of her giftings is not only her ability to speak and write with sincerity and authenticity, but to infuse it all with tremendous joy and humor.

A few screen captures describe the vibes from the call 😀

Thank you, @bunmiladitan !

Notes and sketching from this past Sunday with @indyvineyardchurch. Pastor Nick @youth_pastor_nick sharing about physical healing in the scriptures and equipping the saints to do the work.

Proverbs (18:21) Life and death are in the power of the tongue

We can invite heaven or scorch the earth, in physical, emotional and spiritual ways.

Afterwards our sweet youth took activation and prayed for my wife over the phone who experienced a concussion over the weekend (she is improving).

Sketch demo and other examples from a class a couple of weeks back. Discussions about illustration using any tools available. Mixed media, alcohol marker, gouache, wax pencils, ultra matte medium.

Lincoln is a fascinating historical individual, who navigated tremendous adversity. We discussed some of his life, did some sketching from the casting of a sculpture, and observed a clip from the end of the 2012 Spielberg film. This quote stood out to me in an interview:

“We didn't want to make a movie about a monument named Lincoln - we wanted to make a movie about a man named Lincoln.”

I am struck even as I share today, at how relevant and current are many aspects of his life and death, in the wake of current events.

The Rider on the White Horse

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

from Revelation 19:11-13

My head is spinning a bit from these first few weeks of term 1. Students are very good and working hard already. Great group of freshmen students, and glad to reconnect with our upperclassmen as well.

This fall, we're collaborating with our friends in the theater for their production of Shakespeare's Tempest with a Viking theme. This was a sketch from a meeting sometime last week.

Looking forward to what the students will do.

My daughter Sylvia, made this AMAZING drawing from memory from this page of the Fuel Factory.

In truth, I didn't even realize what she was drawing when she was going after it. We were working on a how to draw video, so the book was on her mind, but this wasn't the activity and the book itself wasn't open. She was just doing her thing from recall.

I overlaid the two images as there were so many little details she got right! Great observation little one! I LOVE her big wave shapes.

As parents, we all put our kids artwork up all over our home; making sure to get this up on my virtual fridge as well :-)

A smattering of sketches from some evening summer workshops. We are always looking for ways to keep the students chops up over the long break.

Smoke was pouring out of the back of my 2014 MAC mini, which can no longer sustain running modern photoshop + some form of video conferencing. I notoriously run my hardware into the ground— I finally broke down and purchased a new one.

Many images referenced from the always amazing resources of @bodiesinmotion.photo

We're fast approaching term 1 this fall!

Ohhhh wow, I just stumbled across these images searching for some items on my website.

These were from a card game "Dumpster Diver" published around 2016. One of the categories for items was board games, and I made a bunch of parody images or popular titles. I remember our team giggling as everyone was coming up game title names and image concepts. I still love how absurd they are!

“I put my thumb up to the window of the spacecraft, and I [could] completely hide the Earth behind my thumb. The Earth is a mere speck in the Milky Way Galaxy, [but] look what we have here. Water and an atmosphere. We’re orbiting a star just at the proper distance to absorb that star’s energy,”

With so many of the pages in this book, I’ve imagined what they would look like in motion. I told myself earlier this week I’d just take an afternoon, cut out some sections, and give them some motion. Should be quick.

wrong. WRONG.

Lots of relearning the software coupled with working out animating water. At first I just cut it out and tried to shift it around. It looked like a bad puppet show. I closed the laptop many times, ready to abandon it.

I think it landed in a good spot though. Still very primitive, but like the movement. And by the end I was laughing at myself making sound effects. A throwback to our animation class in Hartford. #yourbodythefuelfactory

I love this (first) quote from my friend and neighbor Perry! He's a joyful young man and we love him and his amazing family.

After Perry told me this story, I asked if I could share it. I then proceeded to immediately teased him with the added comments.

The book is now available on Amazon and my website. Let's be real... it may not save your life, but it IS educational 😁

PS. In his defense, Perry is super bright and was decidedly NOT going to fail school😂

I am continually inspired by John Lennox. He always conducts himself with grace and confidence in both conversation and debate.

By all accounts, a very sweet man, and an equally sharp mind.

A new blog post is up on my site. You can access it for free from my Linktree. Here's a snippet inspired by our prep for a recent trip to Colorado:

I have discovered that the van is the ultimate member of the car collection. In our family, before my wife or I leaves we ask, "Are you taking the car... or the VAN?" The van is the prize of the fleet, packing seats for the entire family, without exception. I once heard a mechanic affectionately refer to them as ‘kid haulers.’

Should you yourself come into possession of a kid hauler, you will learn that your young passengers feel differently about your vehicle than you do. They attend to it, how shall we say, to a fair degree less than you. Of course, their job is also different than yours: Sit in the back and entertain yourself.

Oh, and they do.

At the end of June, we took a van trip to Colorado. We had a wonderful trip; worthy of a separate post once I’ve processed it all. A 16-17 hour van trip is not just a jaunt down the street. This is worthy of vehicle prep. Maintenance checks, mechanical repairs, and of course, cleaning it out.

As in, you have to go into the backseat.

The story continues on my site. I hope you find it encouraging today.

The Israelites have crossed the sea, singing a song of deliverance.

How will we walk this out? Through the leadership of Jesus.

Two images from last Sunday's continuing sermon series on Living Stones with @youth_pastor_nick .

Nick asked me to create some imagery while he shared about a special journaling technique he's been diligent in developing connected to Philippians 4:4–9

Image 1 was heavily inspired by a recent journey to Colorado, and some of our youth pastor's love of climbing. In a text to me, Nick mentioned his love of the grip and feeling of granite. When I was at the location depicted in the image, I thought about his message. I remember specifically grabbing some climbing holds on the rock and thinking about the feeling of the texture and the coolness of the rock.

The figure in the clouds is inspired by the Christ the Reeder statue in Brazil, another location our youth pastor has visited on a number of missional journeys.

Image 2 was during worship; our pastor Adam shared a passage that mentioned the Israelites crossing the Red Sea.

Image 3 for context of size and space.

I did a few digital edits for clarity and readability, but they are all created with charcoal materials on toned paper. These images are simultaneously fun and terrifying for me, as often go in blind and have to rely on the Lord for provision.

This whole project has stretched me, and this component is no exception. What started in my mind as a small add-on ballooned into something bigger. It took me much longer than I expected, but I hope it better for it.

Arriving in backers inboxes is the 60 page PDF workbook for Your Body! The Fuel Factory.

You can still get in on this as well!

If you missed the project or are curious about the content, you can download a the PDF from my store.

I would love your feedback on your experience with the content, to help us make it stronger and better. Also if you kids are out of school now and already getting bored, I pray this might serve you just a little!

Here are some thoughts from a new blog post on the topics of process and endurance. Also, enjoy seeing the cover of the first version of Your Body! The Fuel Factory :-)

---

At the end of April I spent a week at Prairie Trace Elementary School. There are over 700 students from K-5th grade. It was a whirlwind working with the art instructor Jason Lumadue. His weeks are intense; he sees every student over the course of 30 classes Monday through Friday.

We did projects connected to Your Body! The Fuel Factory. Jason had read them the book prior to my arrival, so the kids were already primed when I showed up. They walked in the room, just staring at me to the point of awkward.

They gave me this look like… “are you real?”

It’s all very endearing. I’m also fully aware it’s due much to the fact that the students are young and I’m a new face for them. They were a joy, and we had an awesome time working on projects, and there were so many memorable moments.

But there was one in particular though that stuck out to me...

Going back through some old videos and found this from two terms ago (fall 24). Our History of American Illustration course images from throughout the semester.

Some works are artist echos and some are images stylistically inspired by illustrators of their decade. Great work by our students.

The Voice of Jesus. Sketching from the 5/11/25 message at Indy Vineyard Church.

You can hear what Randy shared looking it up on Youtube.

A pretty fantastic likeness by one of the Prairie Trace 2nd graders.

Also I think his cup says 'sup' which is very age appropriate :-)

Some wonderful school visits over these past two weeks since term wrapped this spring.

Jason Lumadue @lumaduejason serves an astounding number of students daily. I had the great opportunity to be at @prairietracepto to work alongside him in his art classes for an entire week. He is a joyful teacher and you can tell his students love working with him.

We did workshops connecting art and science for K-2 grade using The Fuel Factory book as a reference point. We also did board game workshops for 3-5th grade, where they worked individually or as a team to create their own games. Great imaginations.

So thankful for how the Lord connects different seasons of life together.

Thank you Judge Spitzer for having our class once again. We were warned this would be a harder session than last term and it very much was. A special team in Grant County Circuit Court. The students also enjoyed seeing the therapy dog, Darla.

Last night @indyvineyardyouth a great session of teaching on James 1:19-20. The evening also included some Star Wars themed games. Started this at the session but too late to finish.

Dropping in a belated entry. The green gal is made up. I think the red guy is pretty popular though 😅

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Working with some exceptional elementary students this week!

Also, I meant to make this a story. Still social media inept.

Some samples of the outstanding work earlier this term by our Empirical Drawing 2 students. We were able to show the work in the science hall over Celebration of Scholarship. Special thanks to Dr. Storms @doofyderg for loaning us some anatomy tools, and your wonderful PT graduate students visit!

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Sketching during worship with the teens @indyvineyardchurch. The overarching theme coming out of Exodus 6:6. We had an amazing service discussing the story of Passover and the cultural significance to the Jews and Christians. John and Nancy Rigstad did a wonderful job communicating. Thanks @youth_pastor_nick for leading, curating and making it all come together - it is no small feat to coordinate events each week!

This week @indyvineyardchurch opened a 24hr week long prayer initiative. It is a really awesome thing to see a unity of purpose in prayer and activation within the church body.

Sketches from the week prior sermon on the connection to the body and the spirit.

Drawing excursion with our students last week to the Indiana State Museum, and Indiana Historical Society. Two really great spaces downtown.

The skeletons and taxidermy @indianamuseum are some of my most favorite things to sketch and I look forward to them every time. @indianahistory had a “Cole Porter Room” where a singer performed Porter’s songs and took requests.

Friend and local artist @jingoillo joined us and encouraged our students in the morning. The overlapping spring break allowed my family to join for the afternoon.

Thanks to the Lily foundation for sponsoring this wonderful trip!

Thank you @lodgedesign for putting on another great Bigger Picture Show. The turnout was incredible. So many great posters; smart concepts and tightly executed. It was great to share wall space and reconnect with many regional artists.

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my daughters favorites so I was delighted to get this film. I received lots of good counsel from her on the image :-)

Another cover for author Suzanne Burns, continuing her YA fantasy series, Brighthaven Chronicles. Suzanne and I have been working to update her covers to create cohesive visual narrative and design look.

Her second book book is available on Amazon:
Sarah's Quest: Brighthaven Chronicles Book 2

Suzanne also has an incredible role as founder and director of Foundation House Ministries. It's a faith-based maternity home and training program for pregnant and parenting women in critical situations. She works full time in her ministry and somehow finds time to create a book series.

The ministry website is: https://foundationhouseministries.org/

Thank you Suzanne for your trusting me with your title.
