ArtHouse+Laity Lodge mashup: 2010 Laity Lodge Artist Retreat

Spent the weekend with friends old and new in the Texas Hill Country at Laity Lodge Artist Retreat w/ speakers Charlie Peacock, Andi Ashworth, Gideon Strauss, Steven Garber, along with musicians Julie Lee, Jason Goforth, Nathan & Sierra Brown, (and tons of others including gifted songwriters Paul Finley and Beaver Nelson), and visual artists Ginger Geyer, Robert & Claudia Feuge (and tons more including Greg Holmes and Kim Coulter; designers Kim Garza and Angela Rodgers, calligrapher Stephanie Gehring, and still more).  

Amazing conversations. Unpacked beauty and justice some more; did some soul searching on making, and on making an artistic life for oneself, grappled with art/kitsch/craft definitions, was pleased to see reformed tradition crowd quoting Brueggemann, Newbigin, and others; met and got reacquainted with dozens of artists, architects, musicians, students, social scientists, arts pastors, sculptors, arts patrons, designers, filmmakers, photographers, and the like. It was like food for the creative soul.

Little blurb in The Lariat

http://www.baylor.edu/lariat/news.php?action=story&story=82480

 

Baylor has produced artists and musicians in multiple different fields. Using their crafts, the arts graduates have gone on to exemplify the high quality of the education received during their time at Baylor.

Paul Soupiset

Paul Soupiset graduated in 1991. While at Baylor, he was a journalism major and studio art minor. Currently, he is creative director at Toolbox Studios, a branding and marketing firm in San Antonio.

"Sometimes we're designing and developing new brands for companies and sometimes we're taking existing brands and breathing new life into them as well," Soupiset said.

He said part of his job is to listen to the clients and do day-to-day design work, but also to supervise the younger designers in the shop and give them creative direction as well.

He said he has always been interesting in melding pictures and words together and does a lot of writing and design at his job.

"I'm glad that I have both foundations from Baylor," Soupiset said.

Sometimes you have heroes you didn't know you had.

So this photo needs some explaining. I’m up here in Minneapolis working on a new project with the fine folks at Sparkhouse, and in walks Jenee Woodard, pictured here. Moments earlier someone connected the dots for me, and reminded me why the name sounded vaguely familiar: Jenee is a self-described amateur scholar of Church History and Biblical Studies and she single-handedly publishes http://www.textweek.com — probably the single best go-to website with resources for study, reflection and liturgy which correspond to the the 3-year Revised Common Lectionary cycle. Pastors, worship leaders and liturgical artists in the Christian tradition use the site for study, teaching & preaching preparations. It’s a brilliant resource that spans the whole spectrum of commentary on a given pericope, ranging from high to low, whimsical to serious, conservative to liberal, and everything in between. Seems she has made her life’s work (for this season of life at least) staying at home, editing textweek and caring for a grown son with autism. Anyway, I gushed about the site, letting her know how critical the resources had been to me when I led art/worship in years past, and I think she was happily surprised to hear from someone other than a pastor “cramming the night before the sermon” (she gets most of her hits for a given passage on Saturday night, hours before a pastor would give a sermon on that topic, which points to a sad reality of the preaching IMO).  Here’s to you, Jenee, and thank you.
