The Word Incarnate

Epiphany Stationery

The Epiphany design for my Stationery project

and a design that was too complicated so didn't reduce well (The page size is 5.5" x 8.5" and there needs to be some room to write a letter.)

Angel Head Study

I went to a men's retreat several months back and was looking forward to reading a book I had purchased, The Angels & Their Mission.  I think Ted Schluenderfritz did the cover design - nice work Ted!  Strangely enough, the priest at the retreat centered his talks around Angels.  It went well with the book, and I remember something he said he heard while in the seminary.  One of his instructors made a point while starting a talk that (paraphrasing) Angels are not our friends by definition, but spiritual allies… you have to share the same nature to be a friend.  An interesting thought worth pondering.  If you haven't read the book mentioned above, it is a quite good.  It broadened my understanding of the relationship between God and mankind, and how it changed from the Old to the New Testament.

I finished this sketch in my notebook last night.  It's colored pencil with an acrylic/watercolor wash.

Coat of Arms of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Peter

I had the incredible honour of contributing to the design development and doing the final design of the coat of arms of the U.S. Anglican Ordinariate, which was officially announced yesterday as the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Peter under the Protection of Our Lady of Walsingham.
