• The Old Man

    For years I have struggled with the Old Man. St. Paul uses the imagery of the Old Man to talk about what a man (or woman) is before life in Christ. He says the old man has been crucified with Christ and that we no longer live to him (the…

  • Here are a couple more drawings out of my new drawing book (which is still unnamed). This old codger was at the same conference as the female minotaur below. He appeared not to be bored at all as he was smiling and laughing to himself through almost all of the…

  • As I mentioned earlier, I have begun a new drawing book. I made rules for my last book – I only drew things that I could observe from life. So far, it looks like I am rebelling against that rule in this book. I have drawn a lot of monsters so…
