New artwork: Wherefore Didst Thou Doubt? IV.
Blog: #releases
Released an Arabic–English parallel language edition of the Book of Mormon. This edition only goes through the end of Alma since that’s how much of this Arabic translation is currently published. (I’ll release an updated edition later when it’s finished.)
New artwork: My Yoke Is Easy III.
Just released a Traditional Chinese–Hanyu Pinyin–Simplified Chinese parallel language edition of the Book of Mormon.
New artwork: Why Weepest Thou? V. I originally wanted to paint all these rectangle pieces in Procreate, but yesterday’s painting made my back flare up, so we’re back to vector style.
New artwork: First Vision XVII. This is a bit more abstract than most of what I’ve done before, but I like it and I’m planning to do more in this style. (And yes, inspired by Rothko.)
New artwork: Through the Veil.
New artwork: I Am a Child of God V. A reference to the Primary song. The rectangles represent (bottom to top), a child, its mortal parents, and our Heavenly Parents. (Figured it was time to do a more abstract version of this idea. It ended up also alluding to Hearts of the Children IV and Hearts of the Children V.)
My process for this style, for what it’s worth: mock up the design in Figma, export an SVG, open it in Inkscape, use the roughen and simplify filters, export a PNG, open it in Procreate, select the rectangles, paint the streaks within the rectangles, export a PNG, texture in Affinity Photo as usual.
New artwork: There Am I.
Pleased to announce that my painting Behold My Beloved Son is now the cover art for Seven Gospels: The Many Lives of Christ in the Book of Mormon, a new book by Adam S. Miller and Rosalynde F. Welch, published by Deseret Book.
