Week 2 and 3 from the illustrated sermon series titled The Miracles of Jesus by Kyle Turner http://thecausekc.com/past-sermons/. The first depicts the healing of the paralyzed man lowered through the roof at Capernaum (Matthew 9). The second is based on the account of the resurrection of Lazarus of Bethany found in John 11. Sumi on Bristol 9x12.

What an amazing day at Planet Comicon today in Kansas City! I got my photo taken with the original Black Ranger from The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, William Jones. Hyyah!!! I also had the privilege of meeting Eric Shanower, the creator of Age of Bronze. The books are incredibly well-researched—the obvious result of obsessive dedication. I bought several of the issues he had on display. You can check out the entire series over at Hungry Tiger Press: http://www.hungrytigerpress.com/
