Merry Christmas

December 19th, 2007 by joshbrown | Posted in All | No Comments »

Anna and I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! This has been an interesting year for us to say the least. It was the first year that I did Red Cowboy fully from January to December. What started out as something that I stumbled into and planned on being temporary and transitional as slowly turned into my new “desk job”. It’s been an interesting change from being in the people and relational business to sitting by myself in a room with a computer being creative all day. Trust me . . . I’m not complaining! But it has been a change that has stretched our marriage as we have learn to adjust and appropriate our finances, household roles, and even our time together. It turns out that running your own business isn’t exactly a 9-5 job and is more an all-day, every-day thing. As we’ve learned to manage our schedules and sync them together, we’ve grown closer to each other in ways that probably weren’t possible under any other circumstances. We’ve learned to be honest with each other about our frustrations and given sacrifice a whole new meaning.

Throughout this year, as Anna has seen me come to life by doing what I’m gifted to do, she has been encouraged to go out and do what she has been gifted to do. And as of November, she quit her full time job and decided to launch her very own photography business. In that short amount of time, I’ve seen her come to life as she’s begun to do what she loves to do . . . be creative and be relational. She recently just launched her new site and has been running all over the place taking Christmas photos and designing Christmas cards.

Needless to say, 2007 has brought a lot of changes for us. One can only imagine what 2008 will have in store for us as we try to align ourselves more and more with what we are passionate about and that crazy, wild-eyed message of Jesus of Nazareth. As we live more and more in the way of Jesus we are being convinced of two things.

1) The world is not as bad and depraved as some people say it is and

2) We have a great responsibility to be a light with our actions and energy about the spaces where darkness has crept in.

It is to this second point that we are dedicating 2008 to . . . becoming aware of our responsibility to create possibilities for change that hangs heavy in the air. This is not just our individual goal . . . but it is the vision of what we do with our businesses. And to which we generously thank you for partnering with us as we explore these new possibilities.

Merry Christmas and may you and your family be blessed as meek, poor in spirit, peacemakers.

New Wallpapers

For those of you tired of the generic desktop backgrounds that come pre-packaged with your computer . . . I did a few backgrounds for my computer and I thought I’d share them with you.

Black (1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768)

Winter Edition (1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768)

Homeless (1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768)

I only did a few sizes, but if you want one for your specific screen size, just let me know and I’ll adjust the size in a few seconds. Enjoy and be sure to share!

Here are a few designs that I’ve done over the last week or so. As always, please be kind and tell your friends about us at Red Cowboy. And remember the new site is up and running. So go check it out. And if you want to receive weekly emails from Red Cowboy, let me know. I also tweaked Tony Jones blog a bit to warm it up at which point he said some rather nice things about me. I used the image from the Vespa Blog since so many of you said you liked it.

This was a project for Interyouth (still working on the site). And my good friends Josh & Laura Case over at YFC. It’s for a fun run in Geneva Switzerland.

Another rave flier for YFC. This one is for a ski retreat in January.

These 2 shirt designs were for LIFT Ministries in Boston. Believe it or not, they host a modern worship gathering for Catholic college students. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know that demographic existed. But they are great people and seem to be doing some really nice things for the collegiate in Boston.

And this is a simple rave card for a church in Oklahoma as they relaunch their children’s ministry. I had to stick with a preexisting design, but I think it turned out ok.

Red Cowboy Designs is at it again (although my site is still in the middle of getting overhauled).

It’s been a while since I’ve updated any of my recent work on here but it’s been busy and I haven’t really had a chance to stop. I’ve got some more I’ll post on here soon but don’t want to overload you here or slow down your browser.

Just one of the posters for a series that was used at Catalyst by DASH in their alt/worship space.

Some promotional rave cards for DASH Day.

More of the same.

A quick little splash landing page I did for OffTheMap for the Jim & Casper Go To Church book & DVD.

We redid the OffTheMap website to streamline their content and to turn into more of a hub for all of their websites which include DoableEvangelism (which used the same template), Church Rater, Conversation at the Edge, The eBay Atheist, Justice & Compassion, and OTM Live. If you haven’t been by OffTheMap in a while you really need to swing by one of their sites and check out some of the rather interesting things they’re doing to subvert the traditional understandings of “evangelism”.

The new website for Youth For Christ Geneva for my friend Josh Case. The site is on the back of a new content management system that I will now be offering as a web option for clients via CowboyManager.com (more info and tutorials on this to come).
