Looking at Glenn for the first time, you would be tempted to cross the street and run the other way. He is not a little guy, and the first thing you’re going to notice is his tattoos, and you can’t help but think he’s a hardened criminal. He will readily admit to his days as a drug addict, tattoo artist, and a self-professed Christian-hater. But then, oh that day. Jesus rescued Glenn, and since then he has had a hunger for the Lord that is insatiable.
From the time Glenn could hold a pencil, he has been drawing. He remembers his parents never bought him toys because he was always satisfied with a pencil and piece of paper. His mother went through an at-home art course, and when Glenn was just seven, he went through the books, completing the courses by the time he was eight or nine. From then on, he knew there was a Masterpiece inside of him he was supposed to paint.
In 2011, God gave Glenn a vision, and within 30 minutes he had a complete “download” of the Book of Revelation from the Bible, what he is calling the Revelation Mural Project, or RMP. “When you’re reading Revelation, you’re not really visualizing really well what John was seeing. As I’m beginning to draw it, I’m beginning to see how this section correlates with this section, and that correlates with this section, and I’m able now to remember the aspects of Revelation because I remember what it looks like.” Glenn is not looking to educate anyone about his theology of the Book of Revelation. Instead, his hope is that once the visualization barrier is removed, people will be able to delve deeper into the Book of Revelation and its meaning. What started as a “simple” mural has grown. Glenn now envisions a mobile app that will give various theologians’ take on particular passages within Revelation and an art book of all the scenes from John’s Revelation of Jesus Christ.
