CCAS

Two days in and I already fail at my self imposed catch up deadline because I was too busy playing Mafia Wars on Facebook to remember to post. Oops.

Well I realized in my last post that I may not have told everyone about my involvement with the Christian Comic Art Society (CCAS). I discovered that this organization existed at last year's Comic Con (2008) and have been going to the monthly meetings ever since. As one friend (I totally forget which friend) commented about himself, "I'm too geeky for my Christian friends and too Christian for my geeky friends", and this is often true in my life as well so it was fun and uplifting to find a whole group of fellow Christians who were into the same geeky things I was. And simply amazing to connect with fellow christian artists.

Many use the group to get critiques, bounce ideas off peers, find others to work on projects and discuss God. CCAS works not just as a networking group, but also but as an outreach to the comic/Industry scene. They man booths at many different conventions selling Christian comics and giving out comic book tracts. They also organize various panels at these conventions like the ones mentioned in my previous post.
