The Book of Acts

Sermon Series Artwork • Park Church • April 2016

Painting by Lane Geurkink (Native Rambler).

Working with Lane is something we have always wanted to do. When we met up do discuss ideas for artwork for the book of Acts, we had the basic goal of illustrating the infiltration of the gospel into our world. Over the course of a week as we received pictures from her studio, it became clear that what she had created was amongst the most amazing art projects we’ve ever “directed.” The tension of the message of the gospel hitting our cities is so vividly illustrated. Art /Rhetor provided the oversight and typography, but really this piece is 99% Lane. This is one of those portfolio items that we share because we want to brag about our incredible creative community.

Good Friday

Event Artwork • Park Church & Fellowship Denver • March 2016

The sobering thought of Christ actually being dead on our behalf—heart stopped, breathing stopped—is a hard one to actualize. Critical to our perfected joy at Easter is the understanding of the actual death of Christ, knowing that our sin required real blood for payment. I hesitated to send this to the leadership of Park Church and Fellowship Denver, feeling that it was too macabre. Their response was, “The cross is macabre.”

Created to Create

Event Artwork • Park Church • November 2015

On an extended freelance contract with Park Church in Denver, I (JD) was asked to direct the artwork for Created to Create: Imaging God in a Storied World, a symposium featuring authors Any Crouch, N.D. Wilson, and singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson.

The hand-lettered logotype is by Christian Robinson and the photography is by Leah McEachern. So why put this in our portfolio if I just arranged the letters and picked a couple colors? This was a special project for me because I had the joy of brainstorming something really dreamy to me and then collaborating with the two creatives needed to make it happen.

One of the things we’re excted about at Art /Rhetor is our Creative Concierge service. We love our creative community, and are pumped to help you find the person with the perfect artistic touch for your project.
