SOUTH CAROLINA - In five days on February 2nd, Christians world-wide will celebrate the holyday known as the "Presentation of Christ at the Temple" (Candlemas) which is celebrated 40-days after Christmas, the birthday of Jesus Christ. To help illustrate the story ahead, today AOA NEWS features the work of Chris Koelle, an artist and illustrator in Greenville, SC. He has created thousands of illustrations for books, graphic novels, animation, including most recently completing all the art revisions for a series of illustrations based on the book of "Revelations" for his publisher. This piece, "Call His Name Immanuel" (above) is based on Isaiah 7:14 and appears along with almost 50 other illustrations in the book "The History of Redemption" published by Austin Stone (2010).
