new blog
i’ve decided to run a new blog alongside this one… it’s called ‘asbo jesus‘. it’s a sort of dumping ground for non-commercial pieces of work… mainly stuff to do with church one way or another… just simple graphical stuff to get the occasional idea down in some form.

love those bunnies!
thanks to stateside friends karen and robin for this link.
angryalien.com is a great flash cartoon site.
it features cartoon bunnies doing 30 second renditions of well know movies… from casablanca to reservoir dogs… brilliant!
all the good stuff with none of the dull padding in between… a lesson in tight story telling!

‘UNUSUAL SUSPECTS’… PROOST looking to find young creatives!
click on image for full size poster.
jonny baker and i (aka PROOST) are relaunching Proost later this year. one of the things we are looking to put on our new download site is the work of young and unknown creatives, (‘UNUSUAL SUSPECTS‘). below is the description of what kind of people we are looking for… if you know anyone who fits the bill, get this information to them.
Are you under 25 years old?
Are you a creative person in need of an outlet?
Proost is looking for unknown creatives to produce work for its new download site.
The new site will produce monthly downloads of creative resources for youth groups,
churches and individuals.
Proost produces 3 types of downloadable resource… AUDIO VISUAL, RECORDED MUSIC and BOOKS.
We are looking for young unknown poets, writers, illustrators, animators, film makers, music producers, fine artists, cartoonists etc. to present us with their ideas for media for our download site. If we like the idea, then you will be asked to make your piece of work. maybe a short film, a set of poems meditations or cartoons, a set of illustrations or music tracks…
The idea/s you present to us will be geared towards helping people in their spiritual journey. They will have an earthy reality to them not a churchy religiousness
If your work is selected to go on the site, you will be paid on a royalty basis.
There will also be a really great prize for the best piece of work produced by an UNUSUAL SUSPECT…
watch this space for more details on that one!
At Greenbelt 2007 Proost will be relaunching its website and we will use the event to promote and
showcase the UNUSUAL SUSPECTS.
Send an outline of your ideas and a brief biography to info@proost.co.uk
Visit our current website at proost.co.uk
PROOST, inspiring new resources that fuel faith.
our cowforce website also wins ‘yahoo’ peoples choice award!
great news for me and mike phillips of ‘paperhorse’, the sites designer (i provided character design and the sites animations).
very chuffed about this indeed! cowforce.com
a BIG THANKYOU to everyone who voted!

why patronage?
my main point is to encourage leaders to challenge the rich amongst us to become patrons… artists themselves cannot do it, because it will always sound like begging…
i believe that the church has a responsibility towards the nurture of artists… it should not be optional.
an irritation of mine is that as an artist you are expected to be good at making money… this is not the case for a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, so why an artist? the only reason this can possibly be, is that we simply do not value the role of the artist… do we even understand the point of the artist anymore? if we don’t, then what a poor and dowdy lot we have all become, with few ways of saying anything meaningful to the world at large. this is a serious issue.
