Making Space Update and a Giveaway
At the beginning of December I announced that I’d give away all print proceeds for the month to “Making Space,” a fundraiser that had just launched at Woodland Hills Church and aimed to help low-income and homeless families in St. Paul. I also mentioned that if we hit the goal, I’d give away some prints to start the new year.
How’d it go with prints proceeds?
At the time, I set what I thought was a lofty goal of $600 and said that if we hit that, I’d start the new year by giving away a couple prints. You guys definitely came through and then some…
[highlight]Over $1000 in print proceeds was raised and was donated to Making Space![/highlight]
Thanks not only to everyone who purchased a print but also to all of you who tweeted, shared on Facebook and helped spread the word about this!
How’d it go at Woodland Hills?
Woodland Hills set their goal for “Making Space” at $26,000 which was the amount they needed to expand their food shelf and make some building renovations so they can used as an overnight homeless shelter. Again, people came through and then some…
[highlight]As of now, Woodland Hills has received over $100,000![/highlight]
All funds extra funds will also go towards helping low-income and homeless families in St. Paul. Find out more on Woodland Hills’ web site.

glad to hear of the fundraiser’s success! enjoyed your interview on Rachel Held Evans’ blog as well.
in the lucky event that I win, I’d love a copy of the Micah print!
I would love the Revelation print.
$100,000+?! that’s amazing–so great to hear that a worthy cause was able to raise four times what they’d hoped!
if i manage to get my named pulled, i’d be psyched to get 2 corinthians.
That’s awesome!
If you pick my name, I think my kids need a poster of the Rally in the Valley
Thanks!
Would love to have an official seal of the Holy Spirit at my desk. I’d put it between my T. Kincade and Anne Geddes calendar*.
LOVE your work Jim.
*Oh dear. Is she serious?
Would be cool to get the Jude poster. – Thanks
my favorite book so far is Romans, and your design captured it perfectly. I would love a copy.
Congrats on the success of the fundraiser!
I’ve always been fascinated with the Esther piece. It’s so diverse in style from the rest of the series. Would love to see it on the wall of my office.
Luke (The Lord’s Servant) is an awesome print!
So glad I’ve discovered your work, via Rachel Held Evans’ blog!
If chosen, I’d like the 1 Peter print, please!
I would love Deuteronomy.
i love the philippians piece! congrats on busting through the $600 goal!
I would LOVE a print of the James one. So inspiring!
love your work and I’m having a hard time picking just one! how about Deuteronomy!
congrats on the success of the project!
Found you via Rachel Held Evans’ blog and LOVE your work! Would love the Crucifixion (Hosanna) print.
Awesome! If I’m picked, I’d love the 2 John print!
That’s great news, what a blessing.
I would love the Rally in the Valley
Thanks
Love the prints. I think you could sell a lot of T-shirts with these designs, especially the I Timothy one.
Love the prints and I second the T-shirt suggestion!
These are so amazing! I would love the Titus print. What a fantastic piece of design.
I would love to have the Exodus print. Thank you for offering it!
Love your prints. In case I win, your Revelation print is pretty sweet. Keep making stuff!
I just found this through Rachel Held Evans blog. Love your stuff!! If I should win, I’d love the water turned into wine print. And…wouldja/couldja think about doing on on the Lord’s Supper/communion/Eucharist?
Thanks for offering the freebies, and congrats on the successful fund raiser!
Yaaaaay! I’m glad my compulsive buying habits could help support a great cause!
Also, I really <3 the Jackson edition of Zephaniah.
I would like the Timothy print. Thanks for the giveaway!
great contest. I wish for the Crucifixion (Revolting Beauty). thanks!
This is still one of the coolest projects I’ve seen to date. The Book of Revelation is the only choice for me! Hook a fellow Minnesotan up!
Really glad you were able to reach your goal and then some! If i could pick, i think I would go with Job.
2 John is great. I’m gonna keep entering these contests until I win one!
All of these are crazy good, but I’d have to go with Colossians.
Awesome news!
I’d love to get the 1 Samuel print!
This is an incredibly difficult choice, but Word Leftovers: 2 Kings is my favorite.
We’d frame and hang the Phillipians print in our “rumpus room.” It is a message my boys (9&12) should hear in fresh language.
(Learned of your work from Rachel Held-Evans’ fb posts. Thank you for working your talent!)
So glad the making space fundraiser went so well. I pray God will blow even more wind into your sails.
If I were to win this giveaway I would pick 2 Peter because I have a friend who wrote a short story about kangaroo people. He would love that one. I’d have to send it to him.
Now that said. I have to tell you I think your graphic for Ester is your best work. I’m going to pick that up for myself soon. I predict it will make you really famous one day. Oh yes you will.
I love your creativity! If I am chosen I would love the Zephaniah 2 print. I would love to see this constant reminder of The LORD’s love for me, His child! This would be a great reminder of God’s character for all of our visitors to see too!
Good grief…where have your prints been all my life?!?! So, so cool.
If I’m a random winner, Proverbs or 2 John would rock my world.
Good on ya. Keep it up.
I’d like the Philippians one, please! Thanks!
Pick me! Pick me! I’ve been bragging on you for years…
I want the Philippians one, pretty please!
I’d like the James one. It would go nicely with the 2 John and Malachai ones I bought. Glad to hear the church raised so much money.
Great news about the fundraiser – I’d love the Romans one please!
Just discovered your artwork. Some of the best I’ve seen in a while. Love the passion you have for bridging the gap between God and Art. I’m just starting to realize how passionate I am about that as well. You’re inspiring.
Your art for James is unreal.
Really love your designs. I’d pick Deuteronomy and 2 Kings were I fortunate to win.
It’s tough to choose, I have so many favorites, but I really love the 2 Corinthians print!
Awesome news on the fundraiser. Stuff like that gives me hope for humanity.
I would love to have the David and Goliath one – 1 Samuel. I would hang it in our living room. I like interesting, whimsical, vintage, kind of things and that one would look really cool!
Thats so cool man! A hundred G’s is fantastic. Sounds like God is up to something with your community!
I won’t pretend like the sound of free prints doesn’t excite me, so if I end up with one, I would love the Jude print! (I love pipes!)
Crucifixion (revolting beauty)
Truly inspiring work. Keep it up!
Love the Luke print!
Just discovered your blog and have to say this is beautifully brilliant!
Way to sow a seed! I’ve learned so much from stalking your site!
Philipians flips my switch and has inspired my jr. high youth to pay attention to what they think about!
So many really exceptional designs. I’m going to give the 2 John one as a gift (and will start giving more now that I discovered your work), but I’d like the Joel print.
Wow, that’s an amazing result, because we have an amazing God.
If I were lucky enough to win, I would like a print of Romans.
Congratulations! Creativity can inspire the masses. Thank you for taking the initiative!
I would like the print of James please.
Such an inspiring project. Great work!
I would love the 1 Corinthians print.
That’s awesome!
If I get chosen….I’d love to have the King of the Jews print from 2 Samuel.
Great Work!
It’s so hard to pick just one because they are so incredible! But I do love the James print.
I love the Exodus print and the 2 Timothy print. I honestly couldn’t decide between which one I like more.
I like the Philippians and the 2 John. The Phillipians would be fun to put in my office though!
Just found this project today – and am so stoked I can still leave a comment.
I’d love a copy of Job.
Hi Jim,
Awesome work! I particularly love the 1 Tim (WTF?) design. Love the push-back.
dwc
Hi Jim,
I agree…awesome work. Really enjoy these images. I particularl like the Acts print and Jonah.
Thanks!
j.
Really enjoy your work Jim, it popped up on my reader last week.
I’d love a 1 Samuel print.
Colossians for sure…
These prints are great–my favorite is probably Esther. It’s so hard to choose though! If I had a second choice it would be the Deuteronomy print, but Esther is first choice for sure.
I really like all of the prints I saw. If I win I would like the Haggai print.
If I was blessed with a Word Print I would like the Daniel print with the 4 figures in flame.
I would love to hav the Word: Crucifixion (Denial)Print. It is amazing.
So happy to see good design appreciated and blessed.
My favorites are the Joshua tearing down the walls poster and the original Genesis poster. Amazing!
I would love to have Philippians
I really like the Romans print. Thanks for sharing your work.
Hermosa simplicidad.
2 Thessalonians would look grate in my office.
I love the Philippians print as well as 1 Corinthians. They’re all so creative.
That’s so awesome about how much was raised!
I would love the James print.
Awesome news! I had such a hard time picking, but I’ll say Esther!
I love 2 John
I love your art! Thanks so much for sharing it.
If you draw my name, I would like one of these (no, I couldn’t decide):
1 Corinthians
James
Hebrews – studying this book now, so maybe these are in reverse order of preference?
Thanks again,
–Paula in Texas
Beautiful! I’m sure Papa God just adores your expressions of the Word through Art! how ingenious! It’ll be so cool if I can have the work called Romans!! ^^ Hopefully I win lol if not the other person is lucky to have something so appealing to hang on their wall
So great to hear the fantastic result – love to see when Christians live like Christ.
I love the Daniel Print – so groovy.
So great to hear of the Lords people giving so generously! Blessings Jim!
Would love to give Esther as a gift
WOW, what a wonderful way to use your talents for HIS service! If I should be so blessed to be chosen to receive a print I would so love Esther. Esther is one of my all time favorite bible stories that illustrates so beautifully the way God weaves our lives together and His provision for his children.
Blessings
Kathy
That is so great to hear that so many people responded! People love good art about the Bible, eh? I would like a print of James.
Quite simply inspirational design. Love your Thessalonians print.
Thanks for organizing this Jim! If I am selected, I would love to receive your Hebrews print. Keep up all of your amazing work! I love receiving email updates from you. You’re very inspirational!
Very cool. If I won, I’d go for the Job print. Because when my life sucks, well, it doesn’t suck nearly as bad as his did.
Deuteronomy <3
I’d like one of each please…..
Isaiah (Evil Deeds)
That’s terrific news! And having to choose a print is a toughie. James! No, Job! No…No, Mark!
Okay, it’s James, final answer.
That is so awesome. What a BIG God we have. If I am so fortunate as to win, I would love a copy of Nahum.
I love the Solomon one where he’s asking for wisdom! The one with the circles…it might be Samuel.
I like 1 Samuel
So glad to hear the fundraising went well. Of my many favorites, either of the Daniel prints are at the top of the list.
If I am picked I’d love the Daniel Word print. Thanks
I would love to have Nehemiah! Love all of them:-) God bless
What fantastic images! Found you through Rachel Held Evans’ blog. Esther is, I think, my favorite. It’s so hard to pick just one, I love so many of them! Love your work!
A Jonah would be great!
My favourites are ‘Revolting Beauty’ and Exodus.
Wow, these are so incredible. You have such a gift! I can’t wait to see what else you create in the future.
If chosen, I’d like to have 1 Samuel!
Oops, I meant 2 Samuel! (My bad)
