The Messenger (Part I) - Eden

This is the project that started an art direction that I still carry throughout my work today! It’s for a Christmas video I helped put together called “The Messenger (Part I)” for Valley Creek Church. It’s the story of Jesus’ birth, going all the way back to The Garden of Eden (shown here), told from the angel Gabriel’s perspective. Key words from his narration are highlighted throughout the piece. I’ll be posting a handful of my illustrations for the project over the next few days, and then a link to the video at the end if you’d like to see the final product!

Huge shout-out to Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series), Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack), Don Clark (Invisible Creature), Lou Romano (Pixar), et al for inspiring me to “steal like an artist”, to VCC for the awesome opportunity, and to my Good Father for the vision. Enjoy!
