“And this is why I study Theology”
A friend and I were watching Battlestar Galactica the other night, and we were watching a particularly heavy episode. It’s in the second season, when another battle ship finds the Galactica and makes significant changes to the chain of command–and the attitude of the fleet. The new leader is a Read more…

Marker Art #46: Dignity and Style
I drew the majority of this piece while listening to a lecture given by Cornell West and Carl Dix, when they came to campus in May. It was a really inspirational lecture–despite the fact that both of the speakers disagreed on a lot of things, and that I disagreed with Read more…

Marker Art #45: Beneath this House
I remember drawing this during a course, when everyone was talking about pretty and neat theories about theology and God. I did the outline first, just kind of doodling about how odd that conversation felt–like there was a whole messy world underneath this pretty suburban house.

This piece is just a doodle that I did in my notebook during class. I like it a lot, actually, and it’s a template for a thank you card which is for sale on Zazzle.
