I did a couple of drawings on commission the other day. My friend has written a few stories for the Rafiki Foundation. His stories are meant to be used in a Logic curriculum. But I think my drawings don’t have to be. His stories tell of how hyenas became nuts,…

This is the end. Not of the book of Romans, but of my drawing. I ended it in chapter 11 whereas the actual book has 16 chapters. What’s the matter Clark, did you get lazy? Did you run out of paper for your scrawling? I didn’t get lazy, but I…

Here’s the part where I tell you of my woes. Many thousands of you will have missed my post on Monday. Because there wasn’t one. I will just chalk it up to the fact that I have a newborn along with five other kids and a lovely wife who need…

After finishing my last drawing book, Interplanetary Ambassador, I knew I had made a mistake in the way I was thinking about the art of a drawing book. If you’ll remember, I said I finished that book in about 8 months. Well, this new book will take 4 years to finish.…

So here we are, roughly 2/3 of the way through this drawing. We’re following Abraham’s line on through Rebecca to the twins, Esau and Jacob. At the time, my wife was pregnant with our first child and I had babies on the brain (this seems to be a theme with…

Oh man. Boy howdy. Remember how I said I almost sold my drawing book, Concerning Religious Affections, for a lousy 500 bucks?! Remember that I said I was sick to death of looking at a complicated, all-consuming drawing book? Well, I set out to rectify that with this new book. While…

You’ve read about it, you’ve been scintillated by it, now it’s time to continue on your journey into my MFA thesis drawing. So far, we’ve made it into several chapters of Romans and we have left off with Abraham being shown a vision of pregnant Sarah and a sky full…

SPECIAL EDITION! Several weeks ago, my wife and I had a small contest among some of our local friends and family (non-local friends and family, don’t be upset!). In a move that is completely unlike us, we sent out the initials for our soon-to-be-born daughter. We had dozens of guesses…

Continuing my megalomaniacal obsession with my old drawing books, I will now talk about Concerning Religious Affections. I was fresh off my book Natural History and I had something to prove… to myself anyway. Because, as I have said, college is a time of intense self-interest and I’m not sure anyone else…

This is the second part of where I talk about my thesis drawing from college. If you will recall, it was an allegory of the the New Testament book of Romans. I’ll be brief here because many books have been written about Romans and I don’t want to add another…

WHY ST. LUKE'S ATTIC?
St. Luke’s Attic is named after, of course, Saint Luke. There are a couple of reasons that he is the patron saint of artists. The first is that his gospel goes a long way in painting a picture of Jesus and the people who surround him. The other is that he actually painted pictures of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. That sounds ...
