THE PSALMS PROJECT: REVISITED

In 2018, I started The Psalms Project, a collection of one hundred and fifty pieces, each one representing a chapter of the book of Psalms. ⁠ ⁠

I thought they would go viral.

THIS was going to be the breakout collection for Mercy Creates and solve ALL the problems. ⁠ ⁠

It didn't happen that way. At all. In the slightest.⁠ ⁠

In fact, I was in those pods and Facebook groups to create fake traffic because they were getting 15–20 likes naturally, obviously not the 10k+ that I needed to be a viral hit...⁠ ⁠

I ghosted this project and begrudgingly took the 30 I created to the Art & Soul Festival, hoping to sell them for quick profit.⁠ ⁠

And a woman sat with those pieces for 40 minutes and asked to see MORE.⁠ ⁠

God's Word was alive to her, breathing encouragement to her, and I was there... grasping for internet fame.⁠ ⁠

I realized this project was what God wanted me to create, and I had to get over being a "Jonah" and running away from it.⁠ ⁠

Over the next year and a half, all 150 pieces were painted, printed in a book, sold online and in-person, inspired a "150 Day Challenge.”

It's still not internet famous by any means, but wow, oh, wow is God good. ⁠ ⁠

In 2021, Mercy Creates and The Psalms Project joined the Sellers Publishing Group family, and there will be a Psalms Project calendar published for fall 2022! ⁠
⁠
It’s so honoring to know that there’s another creative way the Psalms will be encouraging men and women in their homes and offices. ⁠
⁠
The calendar will feature “favorites” selected by the Mercy Creates VIP’s, and it has the potential to be in your local Books-a-Million, Barnes & Noble, and other calendar stores. ⁠

And because the Mercy Creates VIP’s selected the “best of the best” Psalms Project pieces…

I decided to revisit and repaint them!

In March 2022, 31 Psalms Project pieces were revisited, repainted, and released as a new collection.
