The Road to Walsingham

I recently did a banner, above, and a cover image, below, for the Road to Walsingham podcasts of the various interesting lectures given at Our Lady of Walsingham Church, my old parish and the seat of the US Anglican Ordinariate.

The 31st Annual G.K. Chesterton Conference

Manalive the Movie will be premiering at the conference (hence the logo design and quote)

Watch here for more updates about the Conference!

Buy a t-shirt! hopefully for the actual conference we will have a t-shirt made from a more (ahem) distributist company than zazzle.

Logo for the 30th Annual G.K. Chesterton Conference

Mark your calendars...

The 30th Annual G.K. Chesterton Conference will be held August 4-6, 2011, in
St. Louis, Missouri, at the Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet.

The theme of the conference is "Poet and Prophet"

Speakers scheduled so far are: Christopher Check, Pasquale Accardo, Robert
Moore-Jumonville, Carl Hasler, Redd Griffin, Tod Worner, Eleanor Donlon, and Dale Ahlquist.
There will be talks on Lepanto, The Ballad of the White Horse, William
Butler Yeats, Vampires, Winston Churchill, and Chesterton as Franciscan Thomist (or is
that a Thomistic Franciscan?). And there will be a performance of
Chesterton's play "Magic"! More special events are in the works as well.

Miyazaki illustrates Chesterton!

The cover of the Japanese edition of The Napoleon of Notting Hill, drawn by none other than Hayao Miyazaki, the animator who made Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and many other beautiful films.

The book was sent very graciously and generously by Father Peter Milward, after my family and me asked him about it at this year's Chesterton conference. I'd looked for the image on the internet unsuccessfully for years.

Call For Artists

For all you Chestertonian types:
