Artist's Comments

As beautifully summarized by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Philippian church (Philippians 2: 5-11).

Done for my mum (our Chinese congregation's youth pastor) who's going with a short-term missions team to Cambodia. She'll be preaching on this passage and the comic will act as a visual aid to help the people understand the passage better. : )

+ + +

Am really thankful to God for letting me work through this technically-3-day project (urg... 5 am....... 5 am......) . It's been a thoughtful journey... and my first proper attempt at doing a complete comic...





Yes I know it's only one page. We all have to start somewhere, ya? >u<



Among many things, I've been quite concerned when it came to drawing Jesus. I was afraid of not being able to

1) draw him accurately/recognizably.
2) draw him such that his personality would be seen, and it won't just look like a flat drawing.

I'm amazed at how some artists are able to portray Jesus' characteristics so believably. Just glad I had some pictures to analyze before doing my attempt of a dear person I've not seen before with my own two eyes! hee....

Well, he's been gracious to me, allowing me to draw him quite successfully not once, but 7 times! ^.^ *wiggles with gladness*


All in all, this comic isn't about the beauty of the artwork. It's about delivering a truth that matters, not only to me, but to people all around the world.

I hope this would be part of a (future) multitude of visual aids to help people understand who Jesus Christ really is... with no misgivings or misconceptions... so that they may come to realize just how much Jesus loves them... and come to love him too.

I would try to explain the excerpt... but that would take 2 x Bible studies. XD


cheers! thanks in advance for ur thots!
I gotta go pack for camp now XD hahah... will be aways for 3 days~ aaaaaaaaaah~~~ mini-vacation~

Its sooo very beautiful. I mean that in every sense. I think you portrayed Jesus very well in every drawing. I feel you have succeeded in what you wanted to accomplish. I'm going to fave it.

God Bless!

Well executed without the preachiness that tends to be pervasive in religious artworks. I think you did an excellent job creating a clean, gentle looking image that communicates well, and without a great deal of clutter. The crown-of-thorns panel seems a little out of place among the others, but overall, I'm interested.

How about...instead of fanatically trying to propagate your religion, you just keep it to yourself and help, say, Cambodians without any strings or Bibles attached? Let them believe what they want and give them education & healthcare instead of Bible studies, damn it.
