Starting back up

So it's been quite a while since I have posted anything on my blog, and I am working on pursuing my art more than I have been by learning and doing as much artwork on my own as well as looking into workshops and visiting museums and galleries. So I am going to start doing my best to post on here at least once a week.

With that being said, here is something that I did around Christmas time that I was very happy with. The idea had started from psalm 42:1 " as a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God ". I kept drawing different drafts of it because it never felt done. I finally came up with this one but didn't know what I was going to do with it. Christmas was around the corner and I needed to do something. for my fiance's dad. I knew he liked hand made things so this seemed like as good a time as any to use this drawing, plus I had a piece of wood that I had been waiting to use. When I gave it to him he was blown away and it was clear to me that the whole thing had been brought together by God. There were even some hidden meanings that I didn't even realize were in there, but they were definitely meant for him.

After I gave it to him I decided to continue this drawing with two others to make a set that will represent God the father, God the son, and The Holy Spirit.

Christmas

This is the Christmas story.

 Jesus was born of a virgin, He became fully God and fully man. He lived a perfect life, then He died for us to pay the price for our sin. Then He was resurrected  on the third day, and through the resurrection he defeated death. And now He is in heaven preparing a place for us.

So I've been working on this for a couple weeks now. It's a drawing that a friend of mine asked me to do. He wanted Jesus standing with adam and eve with the tree of life in the back. So far it's just the background, but I should be posting the final product soon 

The Garden

So I failed at posting a drawing on here once a week; que sera, sera right? 

Anyway here is a sketch of what will hopefully be my next tattoo. I'm probably going to be getting the one on the top. Hope you like it!

This is halloween

I was wanting to draw something for halloween 

so I figured I'd draw one of my favorite disney characters

its a rose...kinda

I had a lot of downtime at work this weekend, so I decided I wanted to draw something similar to my last drawing "The Wolf". I started by using a cd to make the circle, right away the smaller inner circle made me think of an eye so I started with that and it just took off. now when I drew the circle I "messed up" but I remembered hearing a saying that said something along the lines of art is just knowing which mistakes to keep, so I just turned it into rose petals and there went my mistake! Hope you enjoy
