Campaign for 'Real' Christmas cards!


It's that time of year again when everyone's rushing around trying to find good Christmas cards, (and Bible artists are kicking themselves for not producing any! Which l do every year!)

I'm not sure what it's like in the US, but in the UK it gets harder every year to find really nice Christmas cards that contain the 'real meaning' of Christmas. If the major card producers and outlets are turning their backs on the real meaning of Christmas, (which they seem to be), then maybe it's time to buy our cards elsewhere! I don't know about you but I'd rather pay more for a card with meaning! As we approach a time of recession, think about how giving your business to the smaller Christian card manufacturers and retailers could really help them through a tough time. As the high street shops are not selling the cards we want anyway, it makes a lot of sense!

So where can we find good Christmas cards? One of the best selections will be found at your local Christian bookshop, but there are some very good online stores too. I always like to give a plug at this time of year to the range of cards produced by the Nazareth Village Project. (The photo above was taken there!) Click here to see their latest range.

If there are any other manufacturers of 'Real Christmas cards' out there with an online store, please send me a link to display on this post. Also if you're a card manufacturer and would like to use some of our Bible art on your Christmas cards or Advent calendars next year, contact Jem Hudson.

If you agree with this post then send it to a friend! Let's start the Campaign for 'Real Christmas cards'. Let me know where you buy yours.

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to all our American readers!

More Biblical costume photos!


Yesterday, I found out that our new artist Graeme has friends in high places! It turns out that Graeme's brother is married to a young lady from Nazareth whose uncle is on the board of the Nazareth Village Project! George Khalil is not only on the board, he is also a carpenter in the village itself, and uses carpentry methods from the times of Jesus! Please spare a minute to visit George's website Yesholyland.com where you can purchase beautiful gifts from the Holy Land. George also works as administrator of Emmaus Bible School, who I illustrated a book for about 16 years ago!

I emailed George yesterday, and he very kindly sent me some superb photo's from the Nazareth Village to be displayed on BibleArtist.com. Please take a look.

My thanks again to George Khalil, and to Graeme for putting us in contact!

    Nazareth Village gift shop


    The Nazareth Village gift shop is now back online!
    There are lots of interesting products available, definitely worth a visit! The website is nice and easy to use too, Well laid out with nice graphics. You can visit the Nazareth Village website here.

    I've just ordered a few items that will be helpful as reference, so I'll let you know what the service is like. I was told by someone last week that it's a great place to visit to, if you're ever in the Holy Land!

    Update 7th Feb 08:
    Received my order from the Nazareth Village Project! The service was quick, and all the products that we ordered were of a high quality.
    The book 'The Nazareth Jesus Knew' is a very helpful book, with superb photographs, a mine of information for the Bible artist! I recommend it.

    Top marks to Nazareth Village!
