A few years ago I co-produced and co-animated a short little cartoon about Christianity for one of my clients, Living Waters. They let me know it just passed one million views on YouTube! (I no longer do animation, choosing instead to specialize in illustration and cartooning, but I still think this is pretty cool.) Also, because of the video's message this is...
