Just a few things that I've done recently in my sketch book.

 Working on some actual t-shirt designs, but this should hold you over for a bit.

I'm a huge N.E. Patriots fan and I was thinking of making a few
hand made "almost perfect" shirts! Hit me up if you want one. 
Many a Pats fan might be angry with me on this one,
but 18-1 isn't anything to be ashamed of.
I'll post some pics when I'm done with my shirt.
Now on to the sketches:

My boy manages this band called Scarletfade Three sisters, and a brother, the oldest is eighteen, the youngest eleven. They are burning up the music world.

I figured I'd help him spread the word.

You can check out three new songs just released on their myspace page. They have been touring New England for the past year, and have opened for Switchfoot, Superchic and Every Day Sunday

Flyleaf chose their song to win the myspace Ellios contest in 2007.

If anyone would like to see them play at their event, Just contact Samuel Bowen

His Myspace is: http://www.myspace.com/samuelbowen

The Mustard Seed Project

MISSION STATEMENT:
As the Mustard Seed is very small but has the potential to grow into a large plant, so shall the "Mustard Seed Project," assist, encourage and equip each person to achieve their unique, God given potential as designed by God and expressed in His Son, Jesus Christ. This entails the process of transformation of the individual and the community into the image of Christ.

TARGETS:

SPIRITUALITY:

1. This means each person may come to know God, the ground of all being and His Word, the expression of all truth.
2. It means each person may come to know personally the love of God through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus the Messiah, on the Cross. Believing in His resurrection.
3. It means each person may come to develop a powerful and personal relationship with Jesus through a deep inner working of the Holy Spirit.
4. It means each person may develop a bright hope for a meaningful life and eternal life with a loving God.
5. It means each person may develop direction, persistence, determination and intention motivated by the desire to fulfill her purpose in life.
6. It means each person may have fun, developing creativity and imagination in such activities as: music, drama, art, dancing, etc.
7. It means each person may develop a belief system that allows one to attribute meaning to misfortune and illness, as well as the positive episodes in life.
8. It means that each person may develop a powerful faith that can "move the mountains" that confronts us all in life.
9. It means that each person may find the answer to four simple questions that reveal the beauty and meaning of our lives: Who am I? What do I love? How shall I live? And how can I make a difference?
10. It means each person will have knowledge of the Scriptures as the blueprint for living.

SOCIAL COMPETENCE:

1. This means encouraging the skills that enable persons to form and keep mutually gratifying relationships.
2. It means learning the qualities of empathy and caring: The ability to know how another feels and understand another's perspective.
3. It means learning the qualities of compassion, altruism and forgiveness that being the desire to care for and to help another's suffering. To learn the lessons of Jesus compassion and apply His teaching on forgiveness to real life situations.

PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS

1. This means facilitating the skill of planning that will enable one to have a sense of control and hope for the future.
2. It means encouraging flexibility: The ability to see and attempt alternative solutions to both cognitive and social problems.
3. It means developing resourcefulness: the skill of identifying external resources and surrogate sources of support.
4. It means aiding one's innate sense of critical thinking and insight: The development of analytic habits of thinking that go beneath surface impressions, traditional myths and opinions to an understanding of the context or to discovering the deep meaning of any event, statement or situation. It allows for a Biblical critique of the current culture and honest self-examination. Insight involves the revelations provided by the Holy Spirit in applying the Scriptures to concrete situations. It includes intuitive awareness of ones surroundings as well as those realizations that transform one's perceived reality.

AUTONOMY

1. This includes the development of one's sense of self, of identity, and of power. This involves the insight that each person is made in God's image, though distorted by sin. The connection with this positive, coherent, inner self or "true self" is facilitated for each person.
2. This also means internal focus of control or a general sense of being in charge of one's life and having personal power and freedom, as expressed by the Judeo-Christian ideal.
3. It encourages belief that through faith in Christ a person can accomplish great things.
4. It also encourages self-awareness as a non-reactive, nonjudgmental attention to inner states.
5. It encourages humor as an attribute that can transform anger and sadness into laughter. --> --> --> --> --> -->
