  Yeah, there's some resemblance to those old Mad Magazine gimmicks, but that's only because I was influenced by them as I was designing this illustration.  I think the idea stands on it's own.   I don't love the colors, but I love the concept.  In my perfect world, this would run in the February edition of the Friend or New Era magazines for my church.  February because it could serve as a reminder for all the hearts out there (lonely or not) about who we really should belong to.  We should give our hearts to our Lord and Savior.  We can show that love for Him in our service to others.  And I love how that is reflected in the words of the message.   I pitched this idea to the people at the Friend and they liked it, but it wasn't picked up because of it's dependence on English (or any language).  The publication is global and is translated into over 100 languages and half of the appeal is the written word.  That would have to be rethought out in each language.

That was so much fun and felt so good to catch up again. And in some ways, it feels like it was only a year or two ago.  It's been 11 years since you helped us pack up our things when we moved to California. It was only 17 years ago when we worked together at Digital Mind studios and 19 years ago when we started Flashback videos!  Man, I loved those times.  I learned so much in those days.  So much about timing and storytelling, stuff that I still use daily in my career.  It's been 21 years since the first PPP experience* and then we left on missions on opposite sides of the planet.  A
