Art for a Halloween event called "Redeem Halloween", which seeks to provide a safe and positive space for families and kids, focusing on the light and life of the season rather than darkness and death. The traditionally sinister pumpkin, bats, and night are turned upside down with a festive world full of joyful light. If you have a similar event for your church or community this fall, this image is available for licensing.

Some new artwork for rebranding our church's annual Harvest Party. In past years it was mainly for kids but this year we're opening it up to all ages, so I wanted to make something that can attract young families but still be appealing to adults as well.

Illustration for a church teaching series, inspired by Psalm 1: How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. Psalms 1:1‭-‬3 NASB . #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationage #illustrators #painting #digitalpainting #photoshop #artistsoninstagram #discipleship #christian #faith #church #sermonseries #seriesideas #illustration_best #artistoninstagram #artstagram #tree #desert #flourish #psalms #psalm #psalm1
