May I impress upon every reader that illustration is life as you perceive and interpret it. That is your heritage as an artist and is the quality which will be most sought for in your work...As far as you and your work are concerned, life is line, tone, color and design-- plus your feelings about it...

    Storytelling...

    To me, this is the heart of illustration-- to tell a story; to make a story more clear and understandable by the use of images.

    My fear, and my frustration, is always that I haven't served the story well enough with my illustrations. This sometimes happens when I have to rush to meet a very short deadline.

    Jesus told parables- stories- so that those who chose to listen to his stories would ask, "...why is He saying that? what does it mean?"

    The ultimate answer to all of our questions is I AM-- the story the Eternal told Moses. "You shall know this day and place it in your heart that the Eternal is God in heaven above and on earth below; ain od." [Deuteronomy 4:39] 
    "ain od- a Hebrew expression in this verse meaning there is nothing else." [Dr. Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God]

     I believe that one of our purposes here on earth is to share our stories with others; to build stories with others; to pass on our stories to those that follow us.

 

Blessings, Marty
