My name is Joel. I have been on Elfwood for many many years. Currently I attend a one year Christian Bible college in Massachusettes. So, sadly I dont have very much time for many of my artistic interests. However, back in highschool I seemed to have an abundance of time, and this is where I did most of my work. Some of what you see on this page goes all the way back to 2003 I believe, so most of my artwork here is dated. Please,  keep that in mind as you view them. All of my recent drawings have been portraits of people, landscapes, wildlife; none of which is fantasy related and cannot be put on this site. It is too bad because that is some of my better stuff. One of my recent pieces includes a 'best of show' painting I did of a whale's tale coming out of the ocean. Anyway, I still think there is something to enjoy here, so please do so! Pax!

 

p.s. You will notice many of the comments on this page to be about me being a Christian. Yes, I do believe Jesus Christ to be a real person, to have lived 2000 years ago, to have died to pay the price for the sins I have committed, but on the third day He rose from the dead to conquer death once and for all. Yes, I do believe that He ascended into heaven and is now sitting at the right hand side of the Father. Yes, I realized that I was a sinner and realized that my only chance for life and peace with a real God was through accepting my Saviors' sacrifice for me on the cross. Yes, I am a Christian. Some of the comments here are nice, some are not. Read and commentas you wish, but I would encourage you to contribute to the 'nice' category. Thanks!

Well, I must say that you have really been blessed with a gift my friend! And it is also nice to see more and more fantasy artists that are Christians who admit it as openly as you. After reading the comments, I guess there are some people out there that don't get it, and find it their purpose to really show hate to people that do believe. But just keep shining, because I know that you have a real gift, and you are also very intelligent and show a great amount of maturity in your spirituality as well. You have really encouraged me today, just when I was beginning to think most people were just going through the motions. I see that there are still people that really get it, and are proud to pass it on. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future. God bless Oh wow. You have no idea how encouraging that is to me! Its hard to take comments like some of the ones above, but it give me an opportunity to practice patience and love. thank you for the encouragement! it makes it easier to stand firm! may God bless you with strength to face the day!

I agree with tori and with tx pagan and to an extent of course sophie...
You good for nothing goody two shoes ppl should keep your opinions to yourself...
U oyr si vitse om toy!
2 bye now Why is it that a "goody two shoes" is not allowed to express his opinions and yet a "son of satan" can blurt out his all he wants?
31 Jul 200645 SonOfSatan
Oh please! Allow me to correct you.
If i was blurting out my opinions then surely wouldn't i have said summin along the lines of how Satan is ruler of all evil he is the supirior to god, how in the end it is Satan who will have the final say...
How Satan is going to destroy your soul as he has destroyed in the past so many others yadah yahda yahda...
In fact all i said was that i agree with the statements of others...
So go ahead and cause the conflicts with your comments...
But in my opinion if ppl wanna believe summin they will even if its about another kinda god, ppl don't need encouragement, especially not from some ugly, un-talented, loud-mouth like you.
So either shut the **** up and keep those opinions to yourself or at least go to some god convention or something where you are actually supposed to talk about him but on here you aint just insultin' me but you're insultin loadsa other religions, not even i do that dude so buck up them ideas
Ya get me.I get you perfectly...but i just dont get you. Sorry i offended you. I really am. but i wont stop telling others about my Savior. i cannot. if you only know the joy i feel you would understand...
1 Aug 200645 SonOfSatan
You feel joy in basically telling others that what they happen to believe in is bullshite well then fair enough... that makes sense.
But what you're doing is being selfish, you wont admit to others that there are other religions out there and thats what loads of other people believe.
To just strike off any other possibility is stupid - for all you know there may be nothing out there when you die you may be buried and lay there just dead getting eaten by worms maggots and every other lovely little nipper but either way if your god does exist im sure he wouldn't like you annoying soooo many other people.
My name is irrelevant, nothing is in a name.
Oh and that talent that god has given you at drawing... your art stinks mate.Might we continue this conversation elsewhere? through email or instant messenger? To be honest i would like to! (frozenfire25@hotmail.com , Mysizaar)

Sorry, but have to say something, above tori- I think that it stupid to say christians are wrong, like we think people who are different from us are "imperfect" FYI! No one is perfect we just simply try to do the right thing, and although sometimes we might struggle we will always try to fix our wrong doings.
28 Apr 200745 Aly(fellow follower)
wow! you certainly are getting alot of reaction on your page! I am glad that there are other people out there who know the truth. My dad is a Baptist preacher so I have been raised in a church. Keep going, Praying for you!

Express Art - Not Your Opinions And Views!
If You Must Express These At All Let It Be Through Art Alone!

Hi....ummm really just wanted to let you know that I am a Christian too...and yeah didn’t think there was any one on this web site who was.... and for those of u all who oppose Christians and think that we should not be aloud on this site, i would just like to say.... Christains are humans just like you all, and some of us may no know how to do much good, but if that ’s all you’ve seen of Christ then I am really sorry.... It’s unfortunate that you’ve been treated bad or what ever by Christians. I’ll be praying for you all Christian or not, and If I offend you... well quite frankely I don’t care, I am not sorry for what I Believe and I am not assamed of my God! I do how ever believe that forcing this type of thing on someone is wrong, and if i am doing that sorry! that’s all I had to say.... God be with you all
