I watched the Jim Carrey, "Grinch" a couple weeks ago which made me want to draw some 1830's inspired Whos

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” - Isaiah 53:5

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6

Jesus paid the ultimate price so that we may be free from death. The light that drives darkness from our souls. And He is risen today! Happy Easter everyone :)

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, if does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails.”

I was once told that if you replace “love” with your significant other’s name in this verse, and everything that’s true about love is also true about your significant other when you re-read the verse with their name, then you’ve found true love. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say there's much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey." The Series of Unfortunate Events movie holds a very special place in my heart and I've been wanting to draw these siblings for a long time.

“The Little Drummer Boy” This song came on the radio last year and I had an epiphany as I listened to it. The boy has no gift to bring baby Jesus besides the beating of his drum, and drums are the heart beat of every song. And we are called as Christians to give our hearts to Jesus…so the little drummer boy represents all of us needing to give Jesus nothing but our hearts to please him. After putting that together I knew I needed to make that my illustration for Christmas this year haha. Merry Christmas to you all, may the peace of Jesus’s birth and the hope that he brings fill your hearts as we move forward into a new year.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! For my Christmas illustration this year I decided to do an illustration of my favorite Christmas song “Do You Hear What I Hear?” This new year I’ll be striving to keep my eyes on Jesus, like how the characters in the song always had their sights on the star above Bethlehem. I’ll also continue to hold on to the hope and enduring love that He provides to everyone who seeks Him. Have a wonderful Christmas Eve and a merry Christmas tomorrow everyone!

"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful" - Luke 6:36 ----------------------------------------------------------- Backstory: Now clutched in the embrace of his brother’s arms, he was reminded of why their battle for the throne had begun. A desire to serve and protect, had divulged into a skirmish of bitterness, jealousy and hate. It was now they realized that only through mercy and love could they repair the damage they had caused one another. Putting their differences aside, they threw down their swords
