I’m an Avatar

So I saw Avatar in 3D the two days ago.  It totally blew my mind.  I don’t know if it was the 3d that I liked (that was my first movie to see in 3D), or if it was the movie alone that made the move so great.  The answer I’m leaning toward is that 3D probably helped…a little.

Expand Your Horizons – Teaser

Try something nonconventional.  Making this picture, I wasn’t looking for this effect at all, but after turning off a few layers, this pretty much made itself, and I liked the look.  There might also be a video sometime soon (the original purpose of doing the image), but it’s something I’ve never seen done, and it probably won’t look that cool.  So this teaser is probably cooler than the actual thing.

Now that I’ve raised your level of excitement to the roof, I’m out. 

Zacchaeus in the Sycamore tree

Well after listening to this awesome song, I was inspired to do a little picture illustration thing. Took me quite a while to do, just because I was always tweaking it to get it how I wanted it.

It was inspired by the song from Flame’s newest album, Our World: Redeemed. Originally I didn’t like the song as the distortion kinda reminded me of some secular rap songs that I’ve heard and somewhat despise. However, after letting the lyrics soak in a little longer it really got to me…and it’s so relevant to my Christian struggle–the battle is in myself, between having more me in my life, or more God. To me it seems like everything hinges on these two opposites, I only hope that I will be able to continue to grow away from self and live more for Him each day.
