Original Art: Classic Biblical Museum Art

Pieces are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. You have two ways to decide on a piece you’d like as a reward:

1. Wait until you’ve paid the designated number of monthly Patreon payments at the $25 tier, and then choose an available piece that you’ve earned for your reward, and I’ll get it sent to you! Or:

2. If you would like to choose one piece in advance, even though you haven’t yet paid your monthly Patreon payment requirements for it, you may lay claim to one page, which will be marked “pending,” and will be sent to you when you achieve the designated monthly Patreon payments. (If you do not reach your full payment or discontinue payments, or if your payment is declined, the piece will then become available to other patrons.) Once the payment is in full, you may choose one next piece in advance, again.

In 2007, I was showing my work to legendary comics artist, Neal Adams, who suggested I should use tracing as a tool, and as a learning experience. This suggestion sparked some interest in me, and while considering it, I came up with a story where I would reference famous religious paintings, and string them together into a story. I planned for it to be a series, and I scripted the first comic book issue, and even tried some layouts with a funky font that in retrospect didn’t work, and eventually I abandoned the project. However, the below art was my first exploration of tracing famous museum paintings or sculptures into lined inkwork.

In each pieces’ comments below, I’ve listed the artist name, title, and year created of the original works that my drawings are based on.
