Housewarming/birthday present for my mom.

My parents recently moved to a new house, last time we went down I brought a little housewarming present for them. When I was in high school I drew a picture of Christ for my mom for Christmas. It always bothered me because I hadn't spent a lot of time on it. So in university I did another one. Every time we visited it bugged me too. so, in some ways it was selfish, this isn't the greatest photo of it, I'll have to repost a better one later.

I have been working hard on these drawings for the families of Clay Card and Danae Gough.

This drawing in some ways has been the highlight of my artistic pursuits, but it came at such a hard time, it almost doesn't feel right to say that. 1 Week ago, 4 of the youth in Magrath were tragically killed in a car accident. A lady we go to church with contacted me and asked me if I would be able to draw a picture of one of the girls with the Savior as a gift for the parents, to help them cope with the loss of their daughter. I have to say that I think it is probably the best I have ever drawn. The crazy thing, though, is that I hardly had to erase anything. I felt like I was watching God use my hands to create this visual message for two of his children that were hurting so bad for the loss of one of theirs. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to be his hands. I love this drawing.

Christmas time again...here is a drawing I did for Mandee's Cousin and his wife.

Christ on the cross

this piece was a conceptual self portrait, i used 3 different types of trees and "grafted" them together. the type of wood (pine, maple, and olive) is symbolic of different interests in my life.
