I have a lot of graphics for BewareofArtists.org, but I am thinking I need a logo. I came up with this design and I’m not sure I love it. Then I thought I have this whole tribe of really creative people to ask, so here it is.
What do you think?

Not long ago I downloaded a book onto my kindle called Winning the Story Wars by Jonah Sachs. I have not yet read the book so I realize I am going out on a bit of a limb here. In this marketing book he relates marketing to stories and creating myths. One of my passions for this blog is helping creatives to tell a better story. If we were to apply some of the principles espoused here to our own work, we might be really successful in creating work that makes a difference.

This video takes a book illustration from Jonah Sach’s Winning the Story Wars from initial pencil sketch to final digital illustration. The work here is astounding and will be really helpful to any artist/illustrator working in or moving into the digital realm.

This week begins the second preview week for BewareofArtists.org and some of you might be wondering what’s up with it. Well there are a few things to mention…
First of all AMOKArts.com is not going to be effected. AMOKArts.com is gaining momentum and will continue until God says quit, which is something I don’t foresee happening any time soon. Think of AMOKArts as the ministry channel, combining the arts and ministry, using art to spread the Gospel, helping you find and use your gifts to serve the Lord, etc. BewareofArtists.org is more about art and creativity itself.
So is BewareofArtists.org really just Dave selling out? I don’t think that’s the case at all. Art and ministry and more importantly advancing the Kingdom is always foremost in my heart. Think of BewareofArtists.org as expanding the reach of my ministry. There are places a ministry presentation can’t enter yet part of my call is to go beyond the walls of the church. BewareofArtists.org allows me to at least introduce people to the idea of using their gifts to serve others, that they were created on purpose, for a purpose, etc. I may not be able to tell the whole story in every venue, but at least this opens the door.
Also BewareofArtists.org may open doors to financial opportunities that will allow me to be able to do more ministry regardless of a church’s ability to pay, not to mention free street outreaches, etc. I do most AMOKArts presentations for free will offerings and travel and lodging expenses, but even these expenses make it difficult for some churches. Imagine though if I had an engagement at a school or business function. It would be easy for me to contact the churches in that community and do a presentation for them in the evening, with the expenses covered by the daytime presentation. In reverse, I might also be able to do a community service BewareofArtists.org presentation sponsored by the church bringing me in to do something with AMOKArts.
There’s more than one way to do Kingdom work. BewareofArtists.org is just another route to serving others with my gifts and with all the technique videos, creative challenges and more on the site, It would be beneficial to all my followers on this site. I hope you will take the time to check it out and subscribe. It’s FREE!
Here is a video to tell you more about it.
