Robert C. Chapman Quote Art

I started a Robert Cleaver Chapman quote art twitter account. Not sure how long it will last, but it has helped me absorb more of Chapman's works—of which there are few. Chapman destroyed most of his sermon notes and writings before he died, saying that he did not want to dilute the milk of the word with his watery ink. That goes with his humble character, but I think we are the worse for it. Right now I only know of four works related to him: Two biographies and two books. The books are "Choice Sayings" and "The Shepherd and His Ransomed Flock." I think there may be one more, but I'm not sure. Both the books were bootleg - originally published without his consent, but after they began circulating he released edited, more accurate versions. 

​Here are three quote art posters I recently made with Canva, an online graphic design tool. You can click them to see larger versions. 

I went through three iterations on this one: The first was blurry, but I couldn't tell until I looked at it later on a larger screen. I also felt like the stick figures didn't match the font. Instead of changing the font, I drew some custom stick figures in the style of the font. I also changed the three Israelites from black to the same red color as the font. Then they didn't contrast as well with the fire, so I lightened the fire a bit. Not sure if it really made that big of a difference, but I felt better about it.
