Pray for vegas

I hate that I woke up to the news of the shooting in #lasvegas - and I hate that there's so much pain that's filling our headlines and hearts. But I am thankful for hope. And for me that comes in the person of Jesus. So it's not just posting another "pray for" image but really talking with the Prince of Peace. My heart goes out to you Vegas, and standing with you @judwilhite @centralonline as you serve your hurting community. #prayforvegas #peace #hope #nevada #art #mikebone #mikebrennanart #artist #prayer #mandalaybay

What if we just mourned with those who mourn?

What if we just mourned with those who mourn? What if we held our tongues and just listened? What if we cried and embraced and loved and suspended our desire to fix? With so much hurt these days, let's move about our days with compassion & grace. #hurt #pain #sadness #art #vegas #lasvegasshooting #artist #digitalart #sketch #drawing #illustration #illustrator #illustrationoftheday #mikebone #mikebrennanart #njartist #artwork #compassion #grace #loveoneanother #embrace #comfort

Dear feet, keep going. You never know what hangs in the balance. You might be right around the corner from breakthrough. But if you quit now, you'll never know. Take that right next step.

Sketchclub video: Drawing my Daughter

This time around, I'm going to show you my process in an app for the iPad called Sketchclub. One of the great features of Sketchclub is the ability to add layers and gives you a host of options for brushes and pens. I combine some of my analog drawing techniques with some of my photoshop design background. The result is a very fluid, organic process and feel that takes advantage of the tech side as well. Hope you enjoy this recording straight from Sketchclub itself. https://youtu.be/xIYaRU_VUFM
