Website live; Goodbyes

Journal Entry: Tue Jul 5, 2011, 6:40 AM
It's been a fun ride, folks! But I won't be on DeviantArt anymore. I think I've said that once or twice before, but I need to focus on my professional work and family now. My wife and I are expecting our first child in a few months. I'm graduated from SCAD with my MFA, and looking for a teaching job somewhere. It could be a year or two before I land something permanent.

Thank you to the community of friends and acquaintances that has supported me for these years. I appreciate your comments and input. I also appreciate the debates and discussions I've had with people here, whether friendly or not-so. They have kept me thoughtfully engaged and helped me to grow in my faith.

Finally, if you wish to still follow my work, my personal website is now up and live. (I'm still ironing out some kinks—the "Prints" page is not yet functional. You should be able to order prints from me directly within the next month.) But I plan to keep posting new work and spiritual journals on my blogspot, as well. I hope to hear from you there!

If anyone needs to contact me, my updated contact info is on my website. Thanks again. May the Lord our God bless you in all the work of your hands.

In Christ,
Jonathan Mayer

a true inspiration, thank you my friend. not just your work itself but the faith that lives within and moves it bringing so much life to a Christ rejecting and even resenting world. It is nice to see.

Though we've had our disagreements, I value you as a role model as an artist and as a christian. The DA community needs more people like you.

Goodbye and good luck.

Just so you know. I dismiss some creationists as slavish blind followers who barely read the bible, and spout nonsense.

You are clearly not one of those people, you are intelligent, differingly opinioned to me, and have your shit sorted out as much as I do. Faith is great, I'm glad you have that. But dismissing all creationists as unintelligent is rubbish.

Brother, before you leave DeviantArt, I'd like to know what you can tell me about the meaning and purpose of baptism. This has caused a personal division between two friends of mine. We all used to attend the same church. One has left in joining the International Church of Christ, which holds that baptism is necessary for salvation, faith alone doesn't save, and that baptism is not merely a public statement of our faith but is an actual participation in the death and resurrection of Christ. It'd be nice to hear from you on this. By the way, I congratulate you and your wife on your coming child! May God bless you as you become parents! :D

Hey dude, I've seen you've written in defense of the Bible and Christianity here on DA. Great work and God bless!
