Word Leftovers: Daniel

 

OK, I’ll admit it up front. This design is ridiculous. I mean, vector dancing people silhouettes? Am I serious? I think I might have lost all my design cred with this one. Although I would like to point out that the Bible never says Meshach did notdo a hand plant in the fiery furnace. So it’s within the realm of possibility, right? To be honest, I didn’t have Amos ready today and had to dig into my bag of Word leftovers. This, unfortunately, is what came out.

You’re Fired

This is definitely not one of my favorite designs I’ve done for Word. However, when I was putting it together, the idea of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (and the mystery man) gettin’ funky in the fiery furnace wouldn’t let me go. If I was one of those dudes, that’s totally what I would have done. “Oh yeah, you’re gonna put me in a fiery furnace? Guess what? Not only am I gonna get my dance on, I’m gonna do a hand plant! And when I get outta here, I’m gonna hand plant your face! Suck on that heathens!” Next week we’ll tackle Amos.

    Jim,

    This is absolutely hilarious!

    I’m really loving this series – keep up the great work.

    How do you feel about people/churches using these designs? How would I go about getting permission to use them for stuff?

    Very interesting take on the story, it may not be your favorite design, but it sends a very powerful message for us Christians living in this heathen world, that even though they may place us in the fire, we can feel safe that Christ will never leave us or forsake us, he will be there in the fire with us and if necessary….Dance! :)

    I love this story because it also confirm the pre-existence of Christ (Son of God) and His involvement in the human experience, even before He came to us in Human form.

    Keep up the good work, looking forward to what you will do for Amos.

    Win. I seriously loved it, then I read what you wrote and thought “really?” Sure its a little dated, but its a lot fun. And I love that the Son of God is wearing shorts and sunglasses. :)

    @Matt: Thanks! I have a spot in my Word FAQ page that deals with use of the designs as digital files. Feel free to contact me if you have other questions:

    @Jim, no worries mate, I hadn’t seen the FAQ, thanks for pointing it out. As for the answer being no, I completely understand!

    Genious. Wish I’d had this a few years ago when I was writing a Bible study on Daniel for you youth group!
    I am enamored with all of your WORD pieces and would like a medium size set of the Song of Solomon prints for my bedroom, please!

  11. Jim says:

    Thank, Jane! I’m hoping to get Job and Esther prints available soon and down the road I’d like to make all of the available.

  12. [...] time ago, I came across this graphic from Jim LePage, who’s in the middle of a really cool project.  He’s reading the Bible (it would [...]

    Jim,

    I am Brazilian and I saw his work I found very interesting, I wonder how do I get one of these shirts and publicize their work here in Brazil. Very cool way to advertise and encourage people to read God’s word.

    Congratulations

    Eleilton: Thanks for visiting the site! I actually don’t have shirts available. (Who knows? Maybe down the road I will.) For now the designs are only available as prints. You can find out more about that here:
