    What a wonderful story and message. I have an artist friend who also signs all of her paintings with the fish symbol. Maybe I'll have to ask her about it.

    Cool lens. I love the icthus. I used to attend a Bible study called that. It's always had a special place in my heart. I just got back from Israel too and love the Messianic one as well. Got a shirt with that on it. :)
    blessed

    Your story is very touching. I am glad that you have overcome your illness and all this energy has sprung from you. I am also surprised that you know the word Icthys and its meaning in Greek.
    Keep doing your good work. Times are difficult and we really need the Grace of God.

    I often sign my comments on art sites with "Soli Deo Gloria". This is Latin for "To God alone the Glory." I use the fish symbol on my emails sometimes. Occasionally I put a Bible verse on one of my images. I could well do all of this more often. I will write a lens about my art, and then I'd love to join your group.

    Symbols are a wonderful way to express ourselves in art and design. I am learning to be more and more artistic myself.

    I love that you add the Ichthys to your signature!

    When God gives us a gift, as he has given you, then you can spread Love through that gift. it is good to see the explanation for the sign of the fish. Blessed by a Squid Angel today :)

    My daughter, who also had cancer at the age of 13, has a necklace with that Messianic Christian symbol. It has special significance.

    I think it is a wonderful idea to form a group for Christian artists. As a writer I have been fortunate to be published by a small Christian publisher and to have made many friends among the authors published there. We all pray for and encourage one another. This sort of support - for faith as well as creativity - is priceless.

    An acronym/backronym, hm? Neat. :)

    Wasn't it also used in the following way? :

    One Christian would draw one part,
    the other would draw the other

    The "Messianic Christian" symbol is one of my favourites too. My daughter has a necklace with one on it.

    I love seeing inspirational lenses that share the word of God on Squidoo. I drop verses in my lenses everywhere I can. My most prized picture at home is the one of Jesus Christ. Thank you for sharing this with us!

    Very nicely done lens! I use the fish coming out of my head in my bio picture; an odd interpretation for Christian thoughts.

    Beautiful! Our talent is a gift from God and should be used to glorify Him. I know I don't do that enough. There's no time like the present to change a habit...
    Have a beautiful day.

    I very much enjoyed reading your lens and I feel inspired. I have been an artist since I was a young child, but unfortunately the demands of every day life have taken over my life and I rarely find time to express my gift as I would like to. I do work with my hands and build things for people, so I do put my creativity into much of my work. I recently had a ball making a great costume. Anyway, love the lens and would like to communicate more, I have lots of questions about how I might sell some of my work if I get started with my drawings and paintings again. How do I give a 5* rating?
