Piece #52

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 cor 3:17-18

Subject: Ministry Opportunity 2

Hello Jonathan and Natalie, I was praying for guidance and I asked others to pray for me as well. Tonight a friend of mine said he felt from the Lord that I should make plans to go, so I'm planning on going. God has big plans for me still.

Subject: Ministry Opportunity

Hey Richard! Hows married life with Tara and yourself? Its coming up to a year now...wow! I have sent a video to you concerning Teen Challenge Korea. The reason I am contacting you is in regards to this years youth summer camp that I am involved in as TC Korea's Canadian representative. Currently, I am co-ordinating the possibility of putting together a Canadian Team as special guests. I am aware that you have been working at TC Lambeth for a time (George Glover would be aware of Jonathan Aird and TC Korea, as well as myself) and that you also do spray painting as a ministry. I would like to offer you the opportunity to be on the Canadian Team for this years 2 wk international youth summer camp (in Korea) and use your ministry for Kids across the world. If you would like to know more, please contact me! We would love to have you as part of the team!

Sincerely,Natalie Steele

Pounding Pavement

I went out following up leads on new walls again today and was blessed with permission to paint two new walls in a different part of downtown london. One was a food place and the other a pornography store. I'm really excited about this opportunity to once again spread the good word and a mesage of hope to the streets of London. The walls also happen to be right outside the entrance to the couterpoint needle exchange. I love the opportunities I get.

The End-bassy

Well I found out that the Embassy Hotel will be closing it's doors. The Embassy is a bar that rents rooms by the week, it hosts minor bands who come by on tour and it they let the local graffiti artists come by and draw on whatever surface that they could. I've painted alot of stuff there over the years and they will be demoloshing it April 14th 2009. Because they are shutting thier doors I was granted a unique opportunity to paint the front which faces Dundas street a major road of the city. This is a highly visable piece that alot of people will see everyday, well... untill April 14th.

He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Rev 21:5

Piece #51

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Hebrews 1:1-3

Tattoo 1

Somebody asked me to design them a tattoo. That's nothing new when people find out you can draw they want you to design them a tattoo 99% of people who you draw a tattoo for will never end up getting said tattoo. People are really picky when it comes to stuff that is going to be on thier bodies forever (for some reason?). Most of the time they want you to do something very specific and give you zero artistic licence. I don't design many tattoos for those reasons. Above is my artwork. Not my impression of somebody else's artwork, my own original letters that somebody like enough on thier own, that somebody now has them perminately on thier forearm. This concept is very humbling and flattering to me. I personally don't have any tattoo's and I'm not sure how I feel about them still even after this.

Leviticus 19:27-28 Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

Acts 10:11-16 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat". "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
