In the spring of 2007, Greasy Pig Studios was commissioned by the National Council of Churches of the USA, an ecumenical partnership of Christian denominations in the United States, to illustrate several graphics for an email greeting card campaign to urge Christians to practice environmentalism during the observance of Valentine’s Day and Lent.
The Valentine’s Day card urged people to exhibit their love for nature as God’s creation, and the lent cards were to ask Christians to give up one thing in order to live “greener.” The original conception for the lent card, a dramatic digital painting depicting passengers swimming away from a sinking Noah’s Ark, was deemed too negative and was replaced with a much simpler “child’s illustration” of animals and humans living hand-in-hand atop the world.
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
