These are some of my first set of illustrations for a forthcoming comic book, based on the Gospel, according to St Luke. His Gospel contains more information about Mary, Jesus’ mother, and St Joseph, and his childhood in Nazareth. St Luke gathered his Gospel after interviewing firsthand witnesses, and it is said possibly even Mary herself. In the new television programme ‘The Chosen’, Mary gives an account of her memories of Jesus’ early years, and her responses to St Gabriel and St Elizabeth, to Mary Magdaliene. I would like to think that he met Mary, Jesus’ mother, as it is said he was an artist and a doctor, and that he painted a portrait of her. St Luke for, this reason, is the Patron Saint of Artists and Physicians.
