25+15 Stories
In 2018 we completed the 25 Stories Project with Tan Chen Chen using a mix of self-funding and
crowd-funding. Thanks to ALL who helped bring this project to completion! Then in 2020 we were able to add 15 more!
20 Stories
Started in 2018 the 20 Stories Project with Hitomi Ohtsuba will again seek to use a mix of self-funding and crowd-funding. This project is on pause as Hitomi attends to personal needs. We look forward to sharing another 80 CC0 licensed illustrations with the WORLD!
ABOUT US
Our Story - Why this sort of project?
In the Fall of 2014 I began serving as a Family Pastor in a church overseas. Our limited budget combined with a weekly desire to illustrate stories from the Bible for our children, families, and activities drove me into scouring the internet for usable images.
What I quickly discovered was many images were either poor resolution, saddled with watermarks, or questionable whether copyright allowed for them to be reproduced. Soon our family decided we could do something to help those who shared our plight!
In 2015 we began working with some Artists, providing a small stipend to produce a series of 4 images for each Bible story, under the condition that they would release the results into the Public Domain (CC0 License). We took the images the artists drew, converted them to vector images (SVG ), solving the resolution problem. All the images could now be the size of a billboard (or bigger!) and still be crystal clear. Finally we added the images to our simple site, but also to two repositories of public domain images, Pixabay.com and Openclipart.org
Our 356+ self & crowd funded images have already been download some 200,000+ times by people all over the world! We have been delighted to receive thank you messages from every continent of the world (except Antarctica)!
