New Book: The Wisdom of Pixar

A Reasonable Imagination: It's here! The Wisdom of Pixar

So, I am ordering a new book about the philosophical values found in the films of Pixar. Since Pixar is all about telling stories, what is found in those stories? There are actually many spiritual conotations in the stories of Pixar. Can't wait to read this book and tell you what I think.

Strata Via logo

Here is a logo I have been working on for Team Expansion.  It is program for college students to get experience cross culturally for a year while living in the states! Great step towards overseas missions.

Gone Camping

Here is a background scene that I made.  Click on it to see the full picture, it is apparently too wide to view on the main blog page.  I saw something the other day with a similar scene, so later that day I sketched in my moleskin sketchbook then worked on it CorelDraw.  After I finished it, I thought it might make a good Father's Day card.  So I made it into one, converted that to a pdf and am including that here so that other's can print it out and use it.  If you use cardstock it will even look better.  Let me know if you use it!!
