Art Gallery:
From the Missionary Guide (Vol. 1)


Due to popular demand from my old neighbor and sometime frisbee partner Sam Callaway, I have put up a few drawings on my website. This particular collection is composed of drawings from my original missionary guide, as can be seen from the text accompanying many of the pictures. I hope you all enjoy the pictures, and also that you will take to heart these important lessons for missionaries-- and everybody else!
I thought it would be nice to start out with a gnome or two. So here they are, Gnorman and his only child, out for a walk in the mountains. 'Where is the little baby's mother?' you might ask. I would reply: 'You've some kind of attitude problem, mister.' Or: 'She's taking the picture.'
Gnorman and his baby gnome, Gnorita in the Gnowhere Mountains.

After gnomes, the next thing crying out for attention was a big fat guy (as usual). I had to put in a couple of wierdos to balance out the picture, but there still is a fat guy here. Not my best work, but it also teaches a valuable lesson about the importance of building liasons of trust (BLT).
The positive impressions the three men in this picture had of missionaries show the importance of building positive, spiritual relationships.

Gong Boy
Here we have Gong Boy, a tribute to all those noble souls whose swollen bellies are a source of rythm and song, as well as beauty. Play on, maestro!
Zowie!
Zowie! An expression of sheer joy and big-mouthedness. If only we were all this innocent and exuberant, the world would be full of exclamations.

Since we have no small animals or astronauts so far in this collection, Space Mouse seems a welcome addition. He boldly goes where no man has gone before, because he's much smaller and can fit into very tiny places. Also, men have not yet achieved interplanetary travel.

Dr. Nemicious Everlee: black-hearted master of deception - and - Professor Jim Stooert: relentless defender of good.
Academia: good or evil? From this picture, it seems that universities are home to both. Also, many fraternities.

Beard Guy
Silly Headcovering Man
Witness the awesome super-powers of hirsute hero Beard Guy! This modern-day Sampson's love for whiskers is matched only by his implacable hatred of wickedness and clean-shavenness.
Beard Guy's sidekick / boy wonder: Silly Headcovering Man. SHCM may look like a dork who forgot which way Underoos are supposed to go on, but look at the flexed bicep. He's ready for action! Evil, beware!

As we sail off into the sunset which is the end of this webpage, we bid you all a fond adieu from the friendly deck of the good ship Irving. So long, farewell, Auf wieder sehn, goodbye!
Irving
