Description
Pencil CommissionShe showed me a fairly famous picture of Jesus that someone had drawn.
Asked me to make him look like that, only a little older and not such a big laugh. She had seen my art and wanted me to create my own version of his eyes. And, oh yeah, change his hair.
"Easy. Take this picture and make sure what I draw for you doesn't look anything like this guy". Ha, ha.
She was happy. That was a miracle.

Your words are the loveliest I've seen in a while, so don't hold back indefinitely.

I was kind of wondering if "you overwhelm me" [words something like that] might mean, "ummm, could you keep it under 500 words next time".
So,

No, don't worry. The connotations of overwhelm in this case where more along the lines of:
Overwhelm with chocolate ice cream sandwiches.
Overwhelm with joy and happiness.
Overwhelm with apple cider after a snowball fight.
... and other such wonderful things.
Sometimes being overwhelmed is nice. This is one of those times. Fear not.

Thanks!
Goes out with
PRAYER
attached.
Hope you add yours to it. We got a "country" to pray for here...
Lost sheep, sheep with abundant lives, sheep torn by wolves, captive to all sorts of things. A world of hearts to be set free.
He is the door still standing open, and then...
Thanks for taking your time to comment.
"on earth as it is in heaven!"

Anytime.
We do have a country to pray for. In Mark 16:15, Jesus said, "Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation." We must preach the Gospel to everybody we can.

Very nice pencil-work there!
Great pic of our Saviour!

Just makes me happy that you included the words "Great pic of our Saviour"...so cool.
Gave me a heart-felt smile. Automatic reflex to those words.
You are funny.
Love the Leadboot comment, made complete by the right emote, of course.
I just prayed 2 weeks ago about a place in my life where I felt so stuck. Have been for a long time. Cried out for help.
Amazing things happened. Long story. But the grand finale of answers "more than I could hope for or imagine" had arrived same day this drawing posted.
Every day after that prayer, I got a soft lead boot. Pushed me along, just the next steps I could make, until the momentum is going now. I'm not stuck anymore, stronghold gone. A few more bits of debris to carry away, but every kind of help I needed showed up.
He does so many special things, little personal things, besides all the regular God-stuff. You know, keeping the atoms and the galaxies all doing their thing.
I love Him so much.
I've been in dA 3 months now. I knew next to zero about computers when I arrived. I sort of tumbled in, another prayer answered.
I found the christian club through that amazing ink drawing of Jesus, with the Chinese lettering. I believe a man from Poland was the artist?
I hope my drawing of Him releases seeds of blessing all over the world. Not because the drawing is so great, but because it goes out with prayer attached.
Back to your sense of humor, and mine. I had to repeat to myself a few times before I got e optimist.
Before I'd even read any of your other words,
"I defy you, stereotypes!"
and that little fist shaking, I knew I liked you.
Keep in touch.

Heh, no problem... guess I've always had the eccentric "hare-trigger" sense of humour!
A lot of it probably carries over to my animal characters and the art/Flash cartoons I make.
Then of course, being a Christian help me to keep a positive optimistic attitude most of the time - even if I do sometimes get annoyed by God's apparent slowness to answer one or two prayers... like getting a permanent job. Still, all in His time, I guess. Something will come up.
At least while I'm still a relatively free agent, I still have the free time to work on those crazy art-ideas of mine.
And, yeah... through dA, we manage to make contact with a lot of people. Reckon that's probably our witnessing ground at the moment. I'm hopeful that I'm a positive influence on some receptive non-Christian friends around here!

Thanks. I think this is how I found you. I like to know something about people if they take the time to comment.
I got to your site and went all A.D.D.
~~headed all over the place. I got so excited about your work, and then followed others, out from your fav gallery.
Wonderful fun, but I do lose track of time, and what I was doing.
But I have to walk through my house saying, "pencil, pencil, pencil..."
Or I'll never make it back to my project, much less remember to get a pencil.

lol...Thank you for your kind words. 
Yeah...there are some very talented artists here at dA. I am amazed at the level of talent.
Yeah...I'm seeing that dA can be a time consumer. lol I'm learning to balance it. lol

Pray for me please. Balance has not been my area of expertise,
...thought not really a laughing matter.

OK. We can pray for each other then.

Absolutely. I love to a part of seeing HIS will be done on earth, and He set it up where we can use the faith of a mustard seed...

I am trying to go back and find all the people and comments I missed along the way.
Thanks.
