My thoughts on Digital Art, AI and Pencil to paper.

Hello Fans and Faithful Friends! We have been busy just trying to keep up with all things Brave and Book alike! I hope you had a Blessed summer! I wanted to write a short blog to let you in on a truth you may not know. You are very talented. You can create without the aid of anything that seems to “fix” your work. Please be encouraged that in the ever fast paced changing world of art and illustration, there is nothing unique or even interesting about perfection. As we strive to produce at the rate of commerce and fundraising there are so many temptations to short cut and even short circuit our creativity. Just don’t do it. Take your time, embrace the crooked feet, imperfect strokes and or not so ideal skin tones after mixing various paints ( me) ! God had given you a gift. Do not hand it over. It is yours to steward. If you hand it over it’s like tiny diamonds falling through the crevasse of your hands. There may be some left but it’s not your original design or thought. Gods timing is always better than our frenzied rush! Oh and the process of creating has always found me in surrender to Jesus over my imperfections and HIM always revealing HIS Glory in the finished piece.

-Blessings-
