The Art of Colby Jones
My church asked for a cover for their Veteran’s Day service.
In addition to the United States flag I included:
Dog tags to represent our military veterans. Poppies to illustrate the hope for an end to all wars. Military service seals for each branch of service (as gold medallions). References to two bible verses from John 15 and Psalm 18.

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and God blesses you throughout 2018!
Everything else just falls into place.
(No, this is not a “joke” cartoon, just a concept I wanted to illustrate.)

My goal was to illustrate how this movement helped bring the world from the stark, black and white of the Dark Ages into the color of the Renaissance. But there is also the hint of flames and smoke because with every great advance the world is also set afire.
