		<title>Pastor&#8217;s Choice Series</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you just can&#8217;t find the image you&#8217;re looking for. I figured it wouldn&#8217;t be that hard to find a decent stock photo of a chef or lunch lady dishing up a ladle of glop. I mean, what else is the internet for? No dice, however, and I ended up having to shoot this background [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Gifts We Give</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just what you&#8217;ve been waiting for&#8230; Another sermon series design! I started out wanting to do a photo-driven layout, but couldn&#8217;t find images I was happy with. This is the first design I&#8217;ve drawn entirely on my Wacom tablet without working from a literal pencil sketch as a template. It worked great for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another sermon series poster for Hillcrest Church. Seems like I&#8217;ve got some kind of color gradient thing going on these. I wonder where that came from&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Detours: Hand Drawn Typography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been having fun with hand drawn typography anyway, and then I went and met Chank Diesel, who seems to have done a lot of interesting fonts we all know and love. So here is another misc. type inspired sketch.]]></description>

		<title>Things Christians Fight About</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re doing a month long series at church on &#8220;Things Christians Fight About&#8221;. It is always good to stick with the safe topics like this. I did some supporting graphics, including the spicy title screen above.]]></description>

		<title>Think then type: sketching typography!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I&#8217;ve been experimenting with textures using black pen, and hand drawn typography. This was sketched on paper, and then colored with a little Photoshop action.]]></description>

		<title>Grave Consequences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In all my &#8220;free time&#8221; I&#8217;ve started volunteering over at Hillcrest, doing the graphics for each upcoming sermon series. It is a fun excuse to try some new things, and small enough projects that they aren&#8217;t too much to squeeze in edgewise some evening. This Grave Consequences poster is the first one I did. It introduces [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crazy Tent Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What happens if you combine a hot air balloon with a tent? Now you know. This is a really bad idea in real life, of course, but it would work great in fiction. Besides, it was fun to draw. In retrospect, I should have added a door&#8230; you know, to keep the bears out.]]></description>

		<title>Detours &#8211; page 28</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There has been some lobbying around my house to bring back the sheep character that appeared a while back. This was a quick gag I thought of that conveniently did just that. It was an interesting challenge to draw clouds that look like specific things, stay visually consistent with the fluffiness of the sheep, and [...]]]></description>
