It's Saint John of God with his good brother Saint Raphael the Archangel! Saint John of God was a Portuguese soldier turned health-care worker in Spain, whose followers later formed the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God, a worldwide Catholic religious institute dedicated to the care of the poor, sick, and those suffering from mental disorders (He himself had a mental breakdown). The Archangel Raphael assisted him in his charitable work even wearing the Habit of St. John of God's order (which is black, yes good angels can wear black lol). This drawing refers to when Saint John of God was helped by Raphael as he carried a sick man ("Whatever you have done to the least of your brethren you have done to me"). Just as John of God lay weakened with the burden of carrying the man and feeling like he could not go on, Raphael appeared and together they shared the load to ensure the man was carried to the hospital. He did this and appeared many other times to help in various ways, once he even appeared with St. John the Apostle. St. John of God and St. Raphael the Archangel, pray for us! and pray especially for those with mental illnesses! ^_^ #stjohn, #stjohnofgod, #saint, #john, #saint, #raphael, #straphael, #angel, #angels, #archangel, #hospital, #brothershospitallersofsaintjohnofgod, #catholic, #christian, #saints

It's little Saint Therese! Whenever we get overwhelmed by the troubles of life, let us remember to be little! Yes, little children of God, dependent on the Father and filled with divine love and trust. Sometimes I feel like I can only do the little things with great love because when you suffer from depression (did you know she suffered from it too?) the little things become great heroic acts for you to do! Yet to the outsider, they say, well he is doing nothing. However it's the greatest thing! I must decrease and Christ must increase. I am nothing and God is the one who is All. So when I do my little nothing things but I do them with and in Christ they become resplendent! In the divine will those little things become divine acts that will shine for us in Heaven! God is so good! ^_^ #Therese, #Saint, #sttherese, #stthereseoflisieux, #little, #littleway, #spiritualchildhood, #divinewill, #depression, #divine, #resplendent, #shiny, #shine, #Heaven, #Catholic, #Christian, #Christianity, #France, #HistoryofFrance,

I just finished my very first book illustration gig. It was a ton of work and the client is really happy! Just a few years ago I never would have dreamed I'd illustrate a book. Yay me!

Yehah. robots

The Good Shephard. I finally colored it in, added grass and clouds and stuff. Originally inspired by a picture I saw at my grandparents house. If we feel like a little black sheep at times just remember that Jesus will leave the 99 to go in search of us, no matter what our sins may be. Divine Pastor, Good Shephard Jesus, have mercy on us! ^_^ #goodshepard, #Jesus, #God, #Christian, #Catholic, #Sheep, #Pastor, #Divine, #Human, #Pasture, #Search, #Mercy,

Child Jesus loves you! Jesus likes every now and then to appear in child form in order to teach us many things and relate with us. To remember to be little and rely on God our father. ^_^ He's levitating and his robe is long so you can't see his lil feet. I made this sketch awhile back but like a lot of things now I decided to color it. Digital color makes things pop! #jesus, #catholic, #christian, #littleness, #little, #spiritualchildhood, #childhood, #kid, #children, #child, #sketch, #digitalcolor, #childjesus, #sacredheart.

It's one of Luisa's best buddies: Padre Pio! Now in color! Doesn't seeing Capuchin colors make you feel like having a cappuccino? Just make sure you have your coffee with milk in the morning here in Italy, otherwise you will scandalize all the Italians. lol. What can I say about Padre Pio, well he knew about the Divine Will and Luisa and he had the stigmata and mystical experiences and well he's just one cool dude that don't mess around. lol (I hope this translates well enough for the italians reading this, heh). #padrepio, #LuisaPiccarreta, #StPadrePio, #divinewill, #catholic, #christian, #saint, #franciscan, #capuchin, #StPio, #Stpius, #stigmata, #mystical, #Cappuccino

Guess who it is? It's the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta! I finally inked and colored a sketch I made of little Luisa in her little room on her little bed! ^_^ If your Catholic and don't know what the Divine Will is, you got to look it up! It's the highest, freeing, most beautiful thing ever! It unites you to Jesus in an indescribable way! That's why I'm a Benedictine of the Divine Will! #LuisaPiccarreta, #ServantOfGod, #Catholic, #Chrisitan, #DivineWill, #Sketch, #Cute, #Cartoon, #Little, #SpiritualChildhood, #Fiat, #WillofGod, #Luisa, #Piccarreta, #Servant, #eternalvolition, #divinevolition, #eternalFiat, #DivineFiat, #ConqueringFiat, #ReigningFiat, #SupremeFiat, #room, #bed, #cross, #babyjesus, #jesus, #twohearts, #sacredheart, #Immaculateheart, #clock, #holyfamily, #Crucifix, #Window, #Blanket, #Drawer, #DigitalArt, #pen, #light, #shadow, #Shading, #benedictine, #tertiary, #Dominican, #laity, #floor, #somethingelse, #something, #umm, #hhmm, #areyoureadingthis, #spirituality, #spiritual, #gift, #Divinavolonta, #divinvolere, #ServadiDio, #Cattolico, #Cristiano, #Chiesa, #Church, #CatholicChurch, #God, #Trinity, #Unity, #DivineIndwelling, #Love

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk.

Reference was from a Google pic of the girl and a cat. I added mine and my cats features and everything else! Excuse the glare from the frame! ✌

Started working on a character design! His name is gonna be Andre

Acrylic on wood

My beautiful cat - painted on acrylic paper with acrylic paints

Colourful mandala , with intricate detailing of patterns and designs.

It's Elijah the prophet ready to slay some prophets of Baal! Attack! lol. He stands before Mount Carpegna, he does like mountains after all, especially Mount Carmel. I drew this awhile back because I like to especially draw the saints that the monks are named after. Saint Elijah pray for us! #Elijah, #Prophet, #Judaism, #Christianity, #Catholic, #Carmel, #Mountain, #Carpegna, #Sword, #Battle, #Victory

The Caduceus (and Rod of Asclepius) a traditional symbol of healing shown with not just a rod but a Cross, the true symbol of healing. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert (and the Israelites were healed), so must the Son of man be lifted up:" - John 3:14 #Caduceus, #Rod of Asclepius, #Cross, #Healing, #Wings, #Snakes, #Christian, #Catholic

It's the young little St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows! This is who our Brother Gabriel takes his name after. The book is the Passion, he is a Passionist after all. :P Some qoutes: “Our perfection does not consist of doing extraordinary things but to do the ordinary well” “With sin, O Jesus, I gave you the death, but I do not despair of your forgiveness. Those scourges call me, those arms extended invite me, that injured Heart offers me a secure shelter.” “. . . fidelity in little things must be the basic rule in striving for holiness,” St. Gabriel, pray for us! #Catholic, #Christian, #Gabriel, #Saint, #Passion, #Passionists, #Littleness, #Cartoon
