Hey man, some awesome art you got here, and I'm a christian too, have been my whole life, except i'm having a hard time right now doing the right things and staying true to the word of god, hope i can get back on the right track, but anyways, as far as im concerned, i don't have a "religion", i have a faith, as far as denominations go i don't believe in all the politics, just the word of god in itself. but yeah, keep up the great artwork and good luck with your future plans, with god on your side so much is possible, including showing people god's grace, the greatest gift of all.

Dude, Awesome mission statement! I too am thinking the same way you do. God did not bless me with an artistic skill like he did you, but he has given me other things. I hope to go over seas and do some missionary work in Japan. The world is in darkness brother and I too feel that spiritual revival is imminent. Sounds like God ahs blessed you with both a gift and a sense of direction in life. Cherish these gifts and glorify God to the utmost highest!

I AM AMAZED!!!
You are the best artist ever to be on Elfwood! You have also inspired me to become a better follower of our lord! Please visit my gallery, I would love some input from a truly magnificent artist! My new goal, is to strive to become as good as you now are, with my ideas and art! God Bless, and PLEASE write back!

Sincerely,

Bayden

I love to draw...and Jesus. Im glad you have accepted the Lord. I probably will never see you, but someday I will...and I cant wait. we'll exchange drawings.

dude, you rock! i was so shocked to find some one here that is just blazeing away for Jesus! i'm praying for you, that you can hang on to this fire that you have in your heart.
it was very interesting to read all the coments you have gotten, so meny different points of view. any way, i'm staving and i need some thing with sugar in it.
JESUS FREAKS ROCK!!! AND I'M ROCKING WITH YOU! *mosh mosh mosh*
okay i was going to go but... i just can't get over your incredible faith! you enspire me to keep on fighting this world and hanging on to the promise of the next! God bless your eye out^^

p.s. your art is just lovely (sorry, i got to hyper about your faith i almost forgot about your art ^_~)

It's nice to see the juxtopposition between the before and after stuff. Your maturity not only shows in your spirituality (in which I am very young) and content but also technique. Your earlier work is somewhat amatuer, but you seemed to develop a terrific technique in a seemingly short amount of time. Another gift from God! Its taken me 7 years to get as good as I am and I'm still struggling with the realism and smoothness your work has.
Great job and God Bless!

Dude you seriously rock!

Hey, I think it is SO cool how on fire you are about your faith! I'm 14 and a christian as well and hope to grow in Christ as well as develope my abilities to draw so I can somehow in the future use them for His glory.. (My elfwood should be up in like.. 2 months.lol. ehh for the wait!) Anyway, lately i feel I've been straying but I recently got a wake up call and I'm striving to get back on track with God. Just wanted to say that I really admire you for your artistic ability and your openness about God. I think that is really cool! Keep it up man, and as so many before me have said, YOU ROCK! haha
God bless

I too love Jesus as my saviour and too am an artist. I love what you have done and they way you follow Christ, Amen to you.

I have an Elf Wood page as well, but not updated it for a while as I have password problems.. I pray to get back to it soon and pray we can encoruage each other.
