New item: Guardian Angels!
Hand cut and varnished acrylic painted illustration board. I create guardian angels to fit the recipient’s unique situation. I can depict the person’s vocation or avocation. Is there an illness a guardian can bring protection from, or a nasty divorce, or another struggle? Or a general protecting angel. The angel can represent someone in her life, a hero, or the recipient himself, or a favorite pet or passed loved one, who brought light into his life? Any personal symbols or objects that would be appropriate to add?

Book review in Q Spirit
My "Concert & Closet" book's official review in Q Spirit!
http://qspirit.net/lgbtq-christian-books-2020/
A Catholic San Francisco artist shares his loving encounters with LGBTQ Christians, including closeted gay men and an LGBTQ-affirming priest, as he himself approaches the faith in the illustrated book “The Concert and the Closet: A Comic Book on Depression, Moments of Grace, and Closeted Gay Christians” by Stefan Salinas. Reading the graphic novel is like looking through the artist’s sketchbook. Handwritten notes and unedited drawings give a fresh, personal view of people and places such as Father Donal Godfrey of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic church, Grace Episcopal cathedral (including the AIDS Interfaith Memorial Chapel), Twin Peaks bar in the Castro and the Pride parade. The impressionistic style subtly explores the insider/outsider dynamic of being in/out of the church or the closet. The author’s work has been widely published and he did public art commissions for many churches. Published by Camelopardalis.
