It has been a crazy challenging (but enjoyable) few months! At the start of this year I was overwhelmed with the workload from multiple overlapping projects and tight deadlines, and it definitely got worse before it got better. Endless thanks to God for carrying me through to the end, for providing endurance and patience, and teaching me to remain faithful to my range of responsibilities even when it's hardest. The path to success was there from the beginning, but He was the only one who could see it clearly.</p><p><strong>The Advent Storybook will be available October 1 from <a href="https://davidccook.org/">David C Cook</a> as the publishing partner. You can <a href="http://a.co/hppEAOh">find and preorder the book on Amazon</a>.</strong></p><p>In the meantime we'll get to work on the rewards for our 120 gracious Kickstarter supporters! A huge thank you to all those who backed the project!! 💟 Because of your support, the author Laura Richie and I were able to have an unusual amount of creative freedom on the book. Here's hoping that was a good thing. 😊</p>

<p>Graphic art for a Halloween event called "Redeem Halloween", which seeks to provide a safe and positive space for families and kids, focusing on the light and life of the season rather than darkness and death. The traditionally sinister pumpkin, bats, and night are turned upside down with a festive world full of joyful light.</p>

<p>Some new artwork for rebranding our church's annual Harvest Party. In past years it was mainly for kids but this year we're opening it up to all ages, so I wanted to make something that can attract young families but still appeal to adults as well.</p>

<p>Illustration for a church sermon series called "Minor Prophets, Major Mission." The "minor" prophets are the group of shorter writings from prophets like Jonah, Amos, Haggai, etc. Though brief, their stories can teach us much about faithfulness, adversity, and living on mission—lessons to carry forward in our lives today.</p>

<p>Our days are numbered... what will they count for? This illustration accompanied a series of talks about the wisdom in learning to "number our days" correctly. A man contemplates the urgency of his time on earth, overshadowed by a giant clock tower.</p>

<p>Illustration for a new teaching series launching on Easter Sunday. The theme is about learning to see our problems differently—through the resurrection of Jesus, hope is never lost.</p>
<p>A shipwrecked man perseveres, looking outward for help instead of despair. In the aftermath of our struggles we can do the same. If we adopt the right perspective, our problems can become the starting point for growth and change.</p>

<p><i>Voyage LA</i> magazine recently featured me as an "Inspiring Story" for the Pasadena region of southern California. I was interviewed about my adventures as an illustrator, how I got started, and what drives me to keep going despite the challenges.</p>
<p>The interview was a great opportunity to reflect on my 10-year journey of freelancing and what motivates me most. I am so thankful for the growth and opportunities that have come, even through the many difficulties along the way.</p>

<p><a href="http://blog.youversion.com/2016/08/bible-app-for-kids-now-with-games/">
The Bible App for Kids v2.0</a> launches today, with a number of new features. Several stories now include a followup game, "Story Mixup", which allows kids to test what they're learning by unscrambling a Bible story into the proper sequence of events. Story Mixup is the first of four new games that will be revealed in future updates. A new interactive & animated map also replaces the previous story navigation system, allowing for quicker navigation as well as fun engagement for kids.</p>

<p>I've been working with <a href="http://www.onehope.net">OneHope</a>, <a href="http://bible.com">YouVersion</a>, and <a href="http://ovenbits.com">Ovenbits</a> to develop many of the graphics and provide input on interface design for these new updates. Now that the library of 40 Bible stories is complete, our attention can turn to supplemental features like these. </p>
<p>OneHope and YouVersion are also hard at work making the Bible App for Kids available to kids around the world—with 19 languages now in the app!</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">You can <a href="http://www.bible.com/kids">download the Bible App for Kids update here.</a></p>
<h3>Now in Print!</h3>
<p>Several print-based products are also available, including the <a href="https://bibleappforkids.com/storybook">Storybook Bible</a> for families, and <a href="https://store.onehope.net/customize-book/207/">Book of Hope booklets</a> that churches can order as a customizable gift for guests. I designed new artwork for the covers and helped adapt the app artwork to the interior layouts.</p>

<p>Made a series of illustrations recently that depict the overall "Epic Story" of the Bible. 66 books, 40 authors, written over 1500 years time, and remarkably there is a consistent narrative that is foreshadowed, developed and fulfilled from beginning to end.</p>
<p>Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees, though, so I was happy for the chance to create this series of 9 illustrations that help navigate the major points of the story.</p>

<p>Each Easter, <a href="http://www.worldvision.org/">World Vision</a> sends out illustrated storybook greeting cards to hundreds of thousands of children in their child sponsorship program. Working with World Vision and their marketing agency <a href="http://www.russreid.com/">Russ Reid</a>, I had the opportunity to illustrate the artwork for this year's Easter card, sharing a message of God's love with children around the world.</p>
<p>The storybook cards are part of World Vision's "bounceback" initiative. Cards are first sent to each child's sponsor, who can sign it and add a personal message, before sending it back to World Vision, who sends it onward to the child. At the end of the story, a keepsake item is attached which children can enjoy as an additional reminder and gift from their sponsor.</p>
<p>World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. You can learn more about their <a href="http://www.worldvision.org/sponsor-a-child/how-sponsorship-works">child sponsorship program</a> on their website.</p>

<p>Last fall I worked with World Vision to illustrate a couple of storybook greeting cards designed to encourage their sponsored children around the world. This first one tells a story of kindness among children in rural India. Theresa generously blesses others by sharing her favorite possession—her bicycle. As she does she discovers the biggest blessing of all—the joy that comes from being kind to others.</p>
<p>The storybook cards are part of World Vision's "bounceback" initiative. Cards are first sent to each child's sponsor, who can sign it and add a personal message, before sending it back to World Vision, who sends it onward to the child. At the end of the story, a keepsake item is attached which children can enjoy as an additional reminder and gift from their sponsor.</p>

Celebrating 9 years in business today! Sure have learned a lot about art, design, business, and life... much of it the hard way :) ... But God has been gracious and has kept me from falling on my face too hard, all while unfolding a wonderful path I definitely couldn't see at first.<br />
<br />
I'm so thankful for the past 9 years and looking forward to 2016!Ian Dalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14146991395617494666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081268926783131678.post-10700947672159881682015-09-01T07:55:00.000-07:002015-09-01T07:59:28.722-07:00The Bible App for Kids Storybook Bible!<p>Starting this fall, The Bible App for Kids will be available in print! <a href="https://bibleappforkids.com/storybook"><i>The Bible App for Kids Storybook Bible</i></a> features 28 stories from the app in a nicely-bound 400+ page hardcover book.

<p>Each chapter of life has its own unique goals, opportunities, and challenges. This illustration is based on a talk called "Decades," about what to expect as we grow and mature through each decade of life, and what faithfulness to God requires at each stage.</p>
<p>Where are you on this journey?</p>

<p>I made these icons recently for a new collectible set in <a href="http://www.bible.com/kids">The Bible App for Kids</a>. Kids can enjoy collecting these stylized versions while learning about the items used for worship in King Solomon’s temple. Even with all the required formality of that era, these beautiful tools were a reminder of God’s love and holiness, and his desire to overcome all obstacles to be with his people.</p>
