A couple hours until we head out to Washington DC for the March for Life 2012. If you’ll be there, we’re excited to see/meet you! If you can’t make it please keep those that are marching in your prayers, but more importantly keep the unborn and their mothers in your prayers.
Here’s a video we made after the 2010 March for Life. I pray that this year may be the last year for the March for Life and next year we celebrate the womb as a safe haven.
Merry Christmas season and a happy New Year! 2011 was a splendid year for Likable Art and we’re looking forward to 2012 being an incredibly likable 365 366 days.
We’ve got several big projects about to hit the internets, but while we’re waiting here’s a t-shirt design made for a youth group in Massachusetts. They traveled down to Jamaica for a mission trip with the theme of “Love is an Action.” I love how this design turned out. Very simple and to the point. Makes me excited to get off my bum and serve!
Hello you! I’m introducing myself and directing you to a nifty site with a nifty design to check out!
My name is Pete, a reoccurring design team member. I recently signed on to work more closely with Cory and the rest of the Likable Art team. No, Cory’s arm hasn’t fallen off, nor has his left-mouse-button-clicking-finger broken. He is fine and doing well. He is currently working very diligently right now on several projects while I continue to acquaint myself to new surroundings. I look forward to having more nice chats with you all very soon. Happy Advent.
We at Likable Art are often asked, “Kind sir, that design is just divine! That shirt must be owned promptly by me! Is there a store that has been developed for purchase of such quality products?” We respond, at the same time, “Excellent question! I am sorry, but there is no such store specifically for Likable Art, it is currently in beta. But don’t fret! We have provided a link to direct you to Popple’s site; which has Likable Art’s New Translation inspired, soft-as-a-cloud, ‘And With Your Spirit’ shirt design!” Here is that link again!
A couple of months ago, I (Cory) asked this really swell girl if she would marry me. As surprising as it may be, she said yes! This girl is pretty much the most incredible girl out there. Don’t believe me? Well watch this video and tell me it’s not true. Not only is she a stellar woman, but her voice is reminiscent of the angels. Be sure to check out the site and the “Make Music Happen Campaign.”
And yes, I had to search Google to figure out how to add the tilde on the ‘e’ of fiancé.
The Fort Wayne/South Bend Diocese contacted Likable Art about doing the intro video for this years FaithFest. They were looking for something funny and entertaining for the teens, something that would just lighten the mood. They stated they would take care of teaching the ‘meat’ if we could disarm a group that may or may not want to be there. The hope was to take them from something they’re familiar with and engage them in a way that would encourage them to unplug and to listen to the message of the retreat. All in all it was a great time working on such a fun project, and I hope to get the opportunity to work with the great folks over in FWSB soon.
Our good friends over at LIFT Ministries recently celebrated their fifth anniversary and asked Likable Art to put together an appropriate shirt. The five clouds represent the five years Lift has been ministering and the arrows show how first we go to God and adore before we go out into the world to share. To see the rest of the pictures of the event check LIFT out on their Facebook and also be sure to check Jon Niven’s (pictured) music.
Wanted to share this one while you can still smell the candy apples and pumpkin pie. I love fall, definitely in my top 4 seasons!
Went to the apple orchard a couple weeks ago and decided to test out the new GoPro camera (small water/weather/baby proof camera). Much of the footage seen here was taken by just giving the camera to the kids (my fiance’s nieces and nephews) and letting them shoot whatever they wanted. Music is from the talented Kevin Heider, title track from his new(ish) EP – Ready, Set, Become.
News for filmakers: A new and improved GoPro camera came out yesterday which has some fun upgrades.

Turn up your stereo, this one is meant to be cranked to 11. This is the second of two videos Likable Art made for the Franciscan University of Steubenville Conferences this past summer. This intro video was after the countdown and before the band kicked in. I wanted to keep an exciting tone yet give the band somewhere to go when they came in with there opening song immediately after this video.
Thanks to the St. Joseph Life Teen youth group for lending their faces, Battle Creek, MI for lending their neighborhoods, and of course the heavens for lending the skies.
News: You may notice a couple new features on the site, and there’s more to come. Make sure to leave a comment with the new Facebook comments.
More Important News: I (Cory) got engaged to the love of my life two weeks ago! I look forward to spending my life with the Beautiful Marie. I would like to officially welcome soon to be Mrs. Likable Art.
I love working with other creatives! Alli and Jordan were so great and their creativity is what makes me love this film. When I walked in the church, Jordan was sitting at the piano playing, and it was great to capture that moment and worked perfectly for the opening sound track.
Alli has quite the artistic eye herself, as you can see by the way she and her family worked on every detail from the programs to the honey on the tables at the reception. From beginning to end this was a beautiful and God centered event.
One of my favorite lines is the very last line of the film – listen really closely and see if you can hear what he said.
It’s great to have the opportunity to work with organizations that you have known about for years. I remember as a kid watching films of CCC of America. When they called about starting up a working relationship I was ecstatic.
This new documentary series strays a bit from their usual animated films. It’s been great having the opportunity to learn about their new direction and I am excited to see what is next for them.
Make sure to browse around the site, and even enter to win a copy of the documentary series that will be released in the very near future.
Much of the website work coming out of the Likable Art camp lately has been graced by the genius of Bryan Murdaugh and his web development skills, and this project was no exception. Bryan is a solid Catholic family man that can speak enough geek to scare away most trekkies. It’s great to have Bryan on board, and keep an eye out for plenty more websites launching soon.
