Description I painted this from the original. I made a transparency and projected it onto a peice of sheet rock. It was painted for a float that was in my local holloween parade. We handed out tracks and cds with sermons on them and ministered to the people in the crowd. There was also a kind of skit goin on while the float was in motion. It was alot of fun. If anyone knows who the artist of the original is please let me know. here is the link to the real painting. [link]

yeah, Thomas Blackshear is amazing. Coincidentally I am studying fine art at the same school he attended.

Know it's old but I know Thomas Blackshear personally. His best friend is my cover artist. Good stuff.

Quite the Homage

Thomas is an amazing talent & devout Christian I have a first run print of his that hasn't been released yet. It's beautiful. Hopefully I'll be there this year. People are kinda waiting for me to release my next books so I've been avoiding it the past few years. But I believe God that I'll be there this year with our new releases. If you're ever up here & wanna hang...hit me up. Everyone knows I have an open-door policy.

yeah, my mom had like ten prints of this to give as gifts, forgotten in a drawer. it has always been a creepy picture to me, not because of anything that has to do with Jesus but because the guy looks exactly like my dad.

It's nice to see a Christian in here every once in awile. Check out my band on My Space at [link]
