AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
An atheist was walking through the woods.

'What majestic trees!
'What powerful rivers!
'What beautiful animals!
He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.

He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him.


He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer.


He tripped and fell on the ground.


He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him...


At that instant the Atheist cried out,
'Oh my God!'

Time Stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.


As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.

'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.'
'Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?

Am I to count you as a believer?

The atheist looked directly into the light, 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian'?


'Very well,' said the voice.


The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke:

'For what I am about to receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful, Amen.'

Art blogging

So I decided to create a blog with a few bits of art, who knows how often I'll update it, but at least it's something right? :P



This image was done for a game clone called RTC or "Return to Chaos" a 2D dungeon romp.



An Image painted of my wife for fun.



small image done for my friends son, he had written a story for school that was a multiple choice adventure and quite an elabourate effort, So I made this image based on one of the scenes.



this one is a book illustration for a monster book



Another illustration for a seperate book in the same series.



few images from a series of 10 or 12 seperate stages of a concept which later moved on to then doing the body. This was to be a wild elf character for a game.



warrior snail image.. sort of an in joke for a friend of mine. Lot's of fun to make though.



an early and still incomplete drawing, the background was made about 3-4 times trying to decide what to put there and is now just a fuzzy sketch behind the more detailed characters, as is the water around them. This was for a Tshirt contest, but turned out to be too busy so it was abandoned.

So there's a small sample of some older works, all completed with photoshop. As I said, I may post newer things later as I get them online.
