The writing of the Wisdom Books spanned from the time of Abraham through the end of the Old Testament. Possibly the oldest of the books, Job, is of unknown authorship. The Psalms have many different writers, David being the most notable and others remaining anonymous. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon are primarily attributed to Solomon. Also referred to as “wisdom literature,” these books deal precisely with our human struggles and real-life experiences.

More Word leftovers this week. This time we're rewinding to Song of Solomon, the book so sexy it shouldn't be in the Bible. You may remember that my first pass at Song of Solomon was a bit technical. This time I got my sassy on. I'm hoping these designs will open the door into the elusive field of romance novel cover design. I have 2 leftover versions of Song of Solomon, so make sure to check out the other one. Read the full Word...

(Second of 2 designs for Song of Solomon.) If Song of Solomon was on TV, it would be on cable. Pay cable. Late at night. There are 2 main characters in the book. The guy (Beloved) and the girl (Lover). At the beginning, they're kinda seeing each other across the room, making eyes, thinking things like "I wonder if she like likes me" or "Here he comes! Does my hair look all right?" By chapter 8, they're all Red Shoe Diaries. Read the full Word...

If you are looking for a happy book to cheer you up on a bad day, make sure you skip Ecclesiastes. The book could be summed up by the word "meaningless" which it repeats 35 times through out its twelve chapters. It's dark, gloomy and pretty depressing. Kinda like a teenager... or Eeyore. Tradition has it that Ecclesiastes was written by an old man (some say King Solomon) who was looking back on the great achievements of his life. Read the full Word...
The book of Proverbs is full of short words of wisdom, which isn't surprising since many people say the book was written by King Solomon, who was a pretty Mensa dude. Proverbs got me thinking about different nuggets of wisdom that I've heard and I want to share my favorite one with you: "You can't shine a turd." Five little words that express so much.

(The third of three Psalms design for my Word series.) The book of Psalms is well known for being poetry of praises from David to God. It's full of flowery language and some beautiful metaphors for God. If it helps, think of it this way: Psalms is what Thomas Kinkade has bastardized through his "art." (Ooooo, Kinkade, you got burned!) Psalms has so much beautiful and poetic imagery, you may be thinking to yourself, "but Jim, how could you possibly choose what to do your Word design on?"

Whenever I want to feel better about my life, I ready Job. This guy got totally screwed. It difficult to condense or paraphrase exactly what happened to Job, so I'm gonna try to tackle this a different way.... There is curse work in the english language that starts with an "s" and ends with a "t." This curse word is in a few common phrases like: Read the full Word...
