Artist's Comments

This is a Christmas card that I was contracted to do for both ColdWater Media and mPower Media. It was a joint effort between me for pencils and artist Brittany Richardson for colors. Aging the card, and doing the actual layout of the card was done by Brian Gage Design.

The point of the card was to create an image of Mary and Jesus while adding an Irish taste in the vein of the Book of Kells. I've always liked traditional Christian art, so I wanted to try to do an "old meets new" kind of thing.

The card was supposed to have gold leafing with the halos of Jesus and Mary, but that didn't happen, much to my dismay.

I still have some cards left if you'd like a belated Christmas gift, so let me know! (for free, yeah?) ^_^

Either way, I hope you enjoy the picture and have a very merry and blessed Christmas!!

And could you be the one that's not afraid
To look me in the eyes?
I swear I would collapse
If I would tell how I think you fell
From the sky..

This is really good!

I would buy one, but I really don't have the money to do that right now >.<

Time slips away from us so quickly, and the things we once thought were so shameful, the secrets we kept for fear of exposing our true selves soon lose their significance and we are left to wonder why we wasted so much time being afraid.

She knew that her life had passed her by...

And she called out a warning

Don't ever let life pass you by.

Beautiful work!! I love the colors - bold, yet antiqued and faded in just the right way. And your painting is very smooth and elegant!! Lovely!!
