A hub for ministry graphics
Posted on 14. Dec, 2010 by Kenny.
I dont’ believe that I’ve blogged about this site before, but CreativeMYK has been an incredible resource for ministry related graphics. It’s all based around of community of graphic artists who share their work with each other. If you’ve created something, you can post it there for critique and share with others. If you haven’t checked it out, head on over and see what they’re all about. However, if you wait too long, you’ll miss them. I just got an email today that CreativeMYK is changing into Creation Swap. I’m not sure how different it is going to be, but it looks like there will be more tools to crowdsource media, share ideas and even hire artists to help with your projects.… Read the rest

Updating my weekly parent update
Posted on 24. May, 2010 by Kenny.

Here’s another new template (green version, probably going to go with this one):
I’ll be using this new template this week, so any input you have would be much appreciated.… Read the rest

Dopey graphics don’t cut it anymore!
Posted on 28. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
I’d like to say that they never worked, but as a kid I was a big fan of Psalty the Singing Songbook and Charity the Church Mouse. I had the records and cassette tapes with the kiddie-dopey illustrations… and I think I loved it. Children’s Pastors take notice… it’s not the 80′s anymore!
Always having been a young Children’s Pastor, I’ve tired my best to create an elementary ministry that related to the kids we were trying to reach. What seemed to work for me as a 5th grader did not work for me. I remember being so frustrated with music options 8-10 years ago. I couldn’t find worship songs that didn’t sound like the music was recorded with toy instruments.… Read the rest
