Rough copy of motivational Bible reading poster

read the Bible

I have taken this from my ‘to scan’ pile. Drawings go in the ‘to scan’ pile if I am not filled with enough enthusiasm to scan and use them, but they are worth keeping rather than throwing in the bin. It is a kind of purgatory-like state in which cartoons can stay for many weeks or months. Possible years in fact, but I do not think that the ‘to scan’ pile has existed for a year yet. Before that the ‘to scan’ pile was part of a shared ‘paperwork’ pile, which in turn has existed in one form or another since I was old enough to own paperwork, so perhaps about thirty years.

It is a rough copy of a motivational Bible reading poster. The idea is that such a poster would be affixed to the wall, perhaps with blu-tak, and by its presence would encourage greater diligence in Bible reading. It is a project I might or might not pursue depending on the demand. The artwork is shoddy thus far, I will admit. The man has a thin head and no ear. I know that there are people with thin heads and no ears, but this is a poor depiction.

I could produce motivational posters on other topics if the demand was there. Perhaps general ones: ‘Show greater enthusiasm’. That sort of thing.

    How about, ‘Scan the “To scan” pile.’

  2. Rachel says:

    Any chance of a cheerful version of all the no smoking signs that have to go up in churches and other places by 1 July? Pentecostal flames and anglo-catholic incense excluded?

  3. Sarah B says:

    I think maybe him having no ear means that he’s not distracted by anything so he can read all the more diligently! I second the bid for a no-smoking themed sign!

  4. Peter Kirk says:

    I hope you don’t want to suggest that people who read the Bible have, or acquire, thin heads and no ears!

  5. Jason says:

    Have you seen the fantastic take on the motivational posters that were popular in work places during the 80′s? Soo funny. Find them here: http://www.despair.com/viewall.html

    Yey, I love Despair Inc – unfortunately they don’t sell in the UK.

    I wonder what diligently means in this context.

  7. jody says:

    do the no smoking thing, do the no smoking thing!

  8. Maddie says:

    Do you think I could get a way with putting the demotivator posters up in my classroom?

  9. Jason says:

    Despair Inc. will mail to the UK (I promise I’m not connected to them in anyway).

    Maddie, I think you’d prob. be in trouble for putting them up in your classroom but there’s always the staff room!
