Sketch by artist Thomas Blackshear II (2005); a commissioned work for Relevant Radio.

This image of Pope St. John Paul II by Thomas Blackshear sits on the podcasting desk at the studio where I record.

I saw this picture for the first time when I arrived at the studio for my first podcasting training session.  I thought to myself, “If he can pick up all of this new technology, then so can I.”

And that was that. 🙂

Look to the future with commitment to a New Evangelization, one that is new in its ardor, new in its methods, and new in its expression” -Pope St. John Paul II

Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!

    This is a beautiful image!! Can I ask do you know who the artist/sketcher is, or how I could find a copy of it myself?

      Annie, I will find out and send you the information! I think it was a private gift from an artist to my friend. I really should have credited him/her actually…I need to go back and add that to the post!
