Thanks so much for the inspiration Clay. Here is a link to my 3 words for 2010: http://www.blainehogan.com/post/336079231/my-3-wo...

Have you read Dan Allender's new book on Sabbath? You'd love it!

Love it Barton.

I have to agree with Brian. I'm sort of disappointed that this was the best Christian t-shirt. Or maybe I'm more dismayed that Best Christian T-Shirt is even a category. This kind of art is completely unhelpful to Christians and non-Christians alike.

Why I want to go to ECHO...

I want to create art that releases the Gospel; art that brings into the light things that are found in the darkness.

As an Experience Engineer at Willow Creek Community Church, my job is to create spiritual experiences using movement, music, and multimedia. Even though I do this with an amazing team of people, the job of creating something (seemingly) from nothing can often feel like a lonely task.

For me, attending ECHO is about connecting with others who share the same joy/burden for creating art on a weekly basis. For me, attending ECHO is about listening and learning from others who share the same joy/burden of creating art that moves people.

Events like ECHO make me believe once again that good art really can change the world.

For me, ECHO is about hope.

Just submitted my app. Looking forward to the possibility of being involved!
