Joe Makes Pictures

If you were to ask me what my passions were, I would immediately tell you two things.

1. Silly pictures of cats

2. Raising the quality of art in the church

So I get real tickled when there are other artists out there who are doing that. It’s tough being an artist and working for the church, but Joe Cavazos is doing it with style.

Joe is a graphic designer at Palm Valley Church in Mission, Tx. These guys have a series going on called Faith & Luck going on that Joe did some killer work on. He hand built most of the elements in this piece. I know that because he also put up a fun of his design process. Thanks for that Joe.

Here is the cool part. The guys at Palm Valley didn’t just leave the design there, they transposed it to the stage with gusto! Check out Joe’s blog post about it. These guys did a great job at choosing the right elements to move from the design to the stage. I think I would have been a bit too much to move the ducks, and apparently these guys did too. They chose excellent fabrics to compliment the design and round out the feel. As the guy who runs the video at a church, it’s always great to have some interesting colors and textures behind the people on stage.

To Joe and the guys who put this together, especially the volunteers who do it just because they love the Church, I’m giving you a digital fist bump. Keep up the great work.
