More details have been added.

From this point on I will try and post a photoshopped image like this to compare and see progress.

This is a lot like drawing because of a yoga block, yes, a yoga block. It's fun. And the scriptures I've been hearing are beautifully tied to this image...Matthew 11:15, Romans 10:14-17, John 5:24!!! He who has ears let him HEAR! What I do hope people ask themselves after seeing this painting is,"What do the plugs plug into?" I don't even think asking why the plugs are there is even that important because answering the "What" gives the answer to the "Why"

The progress looks like an under painting and the marks though beautiful in some places are borderline too similar. BUT that will change...I just have to wait for the paint to dry before I continue. I'm using a cut up yoga block to push and pull the paint like an eraser with charcoal...God revealed this tool to me while walking through a Walgreen's. Weird but providential. I'm having a blast. Enjoy

I've begun to work on this image but I'm so unhappy with painting....I'm really dissatisfied with copying a picture....I like my drawings because they maybe representational but they're something more than that too.

I have my picture. It's really weird in a Matthew Barney kinda way. I can't stop staring at it. I played around with a transparency yesterday to see how big I wanted to do this because I believe some images just beg for a certain size. Anyway, I did this and I can't deny the visual impact this image has when it's 5'5.5" x 4'5.5". It feels like it's 8 feet wide at this size. It's kinda mysterious. Now I've decided to make this a painting too. a black and white painting. I've never done this before.

new idea...during a sermon my pastor was emphasizing that our source of everything is God. He described the availablity of empowered living like extension cords hanging out of heaven for us to plug into. God has made himself available to us through Jesus Christ. This image of an extension cord stuck with me and led me along a thought process of how we "plug" into the power of God. Romans 10:17 states, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." This verse leads me to an image of extension cords hanging out of a persons ears ready to plug into a power source. I think this will become a portrait. But it is my goal not to use myself as a model. I do that too often. I will use my friends Tim Fausett and Derrick Jackson.
