…a breath of fresh air. God’s love for us is so cool.

Thank you, Hugh. When I look back at my life, the most success I’ve had was in the moments when I thought of Scripture the most. It guides so much of my life, but no one seems to mention it in 2.0.
I know you are somewhat forgoing the marketing biz for the print biz, but I always liked this passage for marketers:
Matthew 5:14–16
Essentially, if you have something of value, you should show it to people. You shouldn’t hide it. It is selfish.
Anyway, I hope this print gives someone hope and inspiration to someone who didn’t have it.

Oh wow! No comments so far?
I love that scripture too. It has always been my favorite. I was actually surprised to see it here, since most people I’ve talked to in the past did not know of it!
Incidentally, I “think” the scripture means a lot more then love, as in marriage or relationship. Let’s not forget God equates himself with Love (if you read the whole chapter, you will learn about the “mystery”). I could write a lot about it, but will be brief and simply say that God cannot be understood by the mind, but He can be understood through Love. But the tricky part is that this “Love” is a lot more then just a feeling.
Just my 2 cents…

Hugh — I think it’s great that you’re able to leverage this blog and your significant audience to sell your prints. They’re really cool and you’ve put a lot of work into the blog for a long time without making a dime. You’ve been giving your art away for free for years.I totally get that. It just feels like the ratio of original thought posts to sales pitches has been a bit out of balance recently. The large majority of your massive audience comes to your site for a very specif reason — and I’m not so sure it’s to buy art. Maybe this shift is intentional. Who knows, I could be totally off base.
