Ok ok…yes I know.  I’m not a fan of Paul Bunyan at all, especially since he is all over the place here in the north western part of Minnesota, and no one knows really anything about him.  And he cuts down trees.  I’m surprised his anti environmental behavior is tolerated. Anywho, These character designs were for a client.  However, they were not used, so I thought you may want to see them.

Once a week I work with 1st-3rd graders at church.  They all enjoy coloring and so I decided that I was going to draw a picture they could color for each lesson.  This drawing has space for the child to write what kinds of things they could give to God.  It was a good exercise for the lads.  As they examined the idea they discovered that there are endless ideas of what we can give to God.

Here is a MyGiftToGod – PDF for your coloring enjoyment.

Hey friends.  DLBC Update: With camp rolling around the corner I have painted this piece for the cover of the brochure and the huge poster.  I can’t wait to show it to you in action.

Watercolor and Digital

My buddy Seth is putting on a little show at Dunn Brothers on the 18th. This  poster is going up around town to promote the event.  Seth has a fantastic ability to blend catchy melodies with meaningful lyrics.  Come check out my friend, the singer/songwriter, the amazing, the very single (that’s right ladies) Seth Bjornrud.

Wow…camp season is coming again very soon.  As usual I am taking care of a print and web promotions for Deeper Life Bible Camp.  I do enjoy heading of the visual aspects of each theme.  Every year is a new and exciting treat in design and sometimes illustration.

When I was in high school I loved punk rock.  If fact, I was even in a band.  We were quite silly, but we had tons of fun.  This poster is for a punk rock showing coming up here in Bemidji, for the Helen Greene Benefit. I really enjoyed the use of fun colors and “punk” theme here.  It is a bit of the beaten path for me, which is always a good thing.  I hope you all enjoy.

Hurray for fun tshirt designs.  This comp will most likely hit the shirts within a month or so.  Stay tuned to hear how you can purchase your very own Chasing Clarence tshirt.

Dear friends,

Tomorrow is the Benefit for Helen Greene.  If you are in the Bemidji area please stop out tomorrow at the Bemidji Town Hall for the event at 1:00 pm.  I created this poster for the event and you should see them around town.

Cheers!

Merry Christmas.  I am very excited to announce my first in a series of Christmas Cards.  As the holiday draws near make sure you great your friends and family with a warm Happy Christmas.  These cards will be available to purchase at the Helen Greene: Silent Auction and Dinner this Saturday and also from my Deviant Art Store.

Dear loved ones,

Thank you for all of your support and love as Christina and I come together.  It has been about two months now and we are settled into our new lives and new home. Here is a little thank you card I watercolored for occasion.

Much love to you all.
