For the past couple of weeks I've had some down time which enabled me to work on some personal artistic projects, like my " THE CHRIST CHRONICLES COMIC" Project. The work is based on the adventures of Jesus depicted in the Biblical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I find the Biblical accounts as dividing as any adventure story I've ever read. It's an epic story containing heroes and villains, it's loaded with action, intrigue, horror and humor. I've taken creative license on character designs, removing them from the traditional ancient, biblical, Middle Eastern vibe, and replacing them with a more campy contemporary look. (what can I say? I am a cartoonist!) I gotta admit, John The Baptist was the most fun to do, and since the Bible does give more of a physical description of him, I decided to leave him as is! The Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducces ,were a challenge to depict, until I heard Jesus refer to them as "blind guides" "teachers of the law" which made me decide to dress them in formal professor robes I'd recently seen at my sons college graduation. The cap covering their eyes, which adds to their inability to see. This is an open ended project that I will continue to work on as time permits. I'm really having a lot of fun with it
