Love

Self-control

Today's post over at the Wheelhouse. Poor little cupcake.

Guest appearance of an old friend

I had a monster like this when I was a kid; I created + commissioned him to eat my nightmares. {He was well fed.} Someday I am going to make a book about him. But while he waits, he has graciously agreed to lend his likeness for the latest in my poster series for the Wheelhouse. :)

Faithfulness

Kindness & Goodness

Pieces 4 & 5 for my bi-weekly series over at The Wheelhouse were interesting to tackle, as kindness and goodness are often used interchangeably in casual language. 

This is, for the sake of my sanity, a large simplification, but I decided to distinguish them here by treating kindness as a particular instance of action {have my mittens, cold-handed friend}, and goodness as having a supply for a number of those actions {it's snowing right into my snow cone machine on this hot summer evening, how convenient}. 

Joy, Patience, & Peace

I recently embarked on a new adventure; I'm now merrily popping out bi-weekly illustrations for the online magazine The Wheelhouse. {I am pleased to share "visual Fridays" with art-director-extraordinaire Faith McCormick, who is a very excellent person and who also happens to have a stunning blog.}

The three pieces here are the first in a series called "Fruit Salad," a set of 8 x 10 posters exploring the virtues that are packaged and shipped as "the fruit of the spirit." Love is actually first on the list, but I had the one for joy just sitting in my head begging to be let out onto paper, so I decided to jump into things and swim along from there.
