A call for better creative stuff:

Any artist/creative worth their salt knows that great art is a master-like manipulation of contrast. Color, depth, luminance, tone, volume, space, &c. - how one plays those elements against each other determines the emotional effectiveness of the piece being created through traditional mediums and otherwise.

God is what you’d call a master draughtsman - a creator so talented with the skills of composition He can prepare worlds of works dripping with the most exquisite forms of contrast. His strokes are bold yet performed with the most delicate and precise technique. His hand, steady as a rock and exacting as a surgeon, glides effortlessly yet with prepared intention every time it touches his eternal canvas. Like the master of masters, he balances his works precariously between the deepest emotions we could possibly experience: wonder and woe.

Between both, we witness his glory dancing across our lives bringing us ever closer to communion with him through our own conversations of creating; as we create, we converse.

Here you’ll find fodder for that conversation. Here you’ll be challenged to get better at that conversation. Here, you’ll be moved to do with all your might whatever it is your hand finds to do. Wonder & Woe is dedicated to a master draughtsman-like pursuit of talents and passion. It’s not only the artist’s duty to excel at his craft, it’s his gift and call to adventure.

If you define yourself a creative and a Christian, it is your portion then to find what moves you and call to the deepest parts unseen, it is your gift to double and triple the investments into your talents. Do, and do with all your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going. Retreat not from wonder or woe, for in both, God waits earnestly to whisper eternity and breathe purpose everlasting.
