Bio:
Name: Earnest Graham
Age: a little past mid life
Identify as a gay male
I grew up in California and Wyoming.
I worked as a graphic artist and illustrator, and as a child wanted to be a comic artist.
During that time I got involved in the Episcopal church, and loved it. I felt called to ordained ministry and went to Virginia for seminary, and was ordained a priest afterwards.
I married an extraordinary woman, Shirley, who is also an Episcopal priest. We have a son, Evan. I served in churches in various parts of Virginia. I did return to my artwork- making graphic novel translations of the Bible. 3 books were published:” The Unlikely Chosen” which features the stories of Jonah, Esther and Amos; “the Parables of Jesus”; and “James- a letter to the Scattered. I have also done numerous other Bible comics found on my website.
I came out as gay in my early 40’s first to myself, then to my family. Shirley and I tried to make our mixed orientation relationship work for a time, but ultimately decided to separate and divorce amicably. We still care for each other and work together as parents!
I now live and work in North Carolina .
I am happily married to my husband Ed
We live in Charlotte NC with our two dogs
And I still do artwork.
