John Euclid Templonuevo, also known as "Arkitekyuklid", is a talented artist and a dedicated Christian from the Philippines. Even with his busy schedule studying for his last year of BS Architecture degree, John finds time to create art that's infused with his deep faith. His strong commitment to sharing the Christian message through his artwork not only inspires others but also adds a deeper meaning to each of his comics.

Templonuevo's illustrations act like a comforting hug during tough times, bringing feelings of hope and calm to those who need it. With each piece of his art, he gently reminds us all to take a moment for ourselves, to relax, and take a deep breath.

Just like last time, Bored Panda reached out to John to find out a little bit more about him and his recent endeavors.

When asked how he manages his commitments to his studies, faith, and art, John compared these different aspects of his life to colors on a palette. He said, "they're all different colors in the palette of my life. Each one adds its unique hue and together, they create this beautiful painting." Despite occasional clashes, like juggling academic deadlines and bursts of creative inspiration, John believes these elements enrich his life collectively.

If you've had traumatic experiences and they still affect you badly today, please find some help, you deserve that. There are trauma therapies like EMDR that can work really, really well. They're heavy to go through, but can work wonders, even for trauma from decades ago. It doesn't help everyone, but a lot of people become pretty much symptom free, and for a lot of people the symptoms lessen a lot. It is definitely worth looking into. I am so glad I made the decision after 25+ years to get treatment, it has made my life so much better. It helped me much more than I expected.

John described his transition from traditional to digital art as a rollercoaster ride. Initially intimidated by the new medium, he soon found it to be a wellspring of opportunity. "I realized it opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me. I could experiment with colors and techniques without worrying about wasting materials," he shared, adding humorously that the undo and redo functions quickly became his best friends.

The questions we asked the artist also touched on the impact of John's art on others. He shared heartfelt instances where his art made a positive difference in people's lives. Recounting one such instance, he mentioned, "There've been a few times when people have reached out to me to say that my art made their day a bit better. Those moments are the real treasure for me. It's the fuel that keeps my artistic engine running. Once, a lady told me how one of my pieces inspired her to start drawing again after years. Man, that felt amazing."

My life lately means living in a hotel and sleeping in the same bed as my wife. Have not done that years. We are now closer that we have been in years, because I can hold her hand and tell her "I love you" before I turn off the lights on my side.

The Philipino artist also offered some advice for young artists grappling with procrastination and balancing their passion with their everyday lives. "Remember why you fell in love with art in the first place," he advised, "That passion, that spark, is what will keep you going. And remember, it's okay to have off days. We're not machines. Sometimes the inspiration just doesn't come and that's okay. Take that time to recharge. Your art will always be there, waiting for you when you're ready."

No cynicism from me on this one. I am a big believer in the power of hugs. My lil' dog agrees too so it must be true. She's about one hug away from hugaholics anonymous. Speaking of which, if two pals get drunk all the time and then decide to quit and go sober, do they have to go to different al-anon meetings in order to maintain the ethos? It's not important. It just popped in my head.

I don't think physical beauty fades away with age. It's more that each stage of life has a different kind of physical beauty to it and we must embrace that instead of desperately resisting it. In nature, the cycle of beauty keeps evolving and the scars on a tree trunk or textured skin on an animal doesn't take away from their magnificence. It only makes them more unique.

I actually really dislike this one… (Not only because it stinks of theism.) Because it depicts being different as bad, and calls people who don't fit in sinful.

For those who don't understand this one, there were two pitbulls that were unalived by police in the UK, because they were being "aggressive". They were barking at men coming towards them and their dad with guns drawn, because someone had reported that they were being aggressive. They were sh0t and k!ll3d on the street in broad daylight. (I hope this made sense, typing on the app isn't the easiest)

'everything happens for a reason' 'god's timing is perfect' what does that even mean. Pretty on the surface, but simply not true. There are those that suffer all their lives - is that part of the plan, where is the right timing in that?

Breaking News: Life warned about its future conduct after frequently pushing too hard, resulting in dirty and grazed faces. Death has issued a statement and confirmed that it will take over if life doesn't smarten itself up. There are unconfirmed rumours that God herself might step into the vacant role of Death until a suitable replacement has been found. St. Peter was unavailable for comment. Amy Schumer was available for comment but we politely declined her offer.

I know this is supposed to be uplifting, but it tells you not to take responsibility for your own actions, and instead pin them on imaginary figures. Carry your own baggage, people! And if you can't, get help from someone real. I'm sorry if this offends someone, but it needs to be said. (EDIT: Thank you so much for all the upvotes!)

Sometimes prayers aren't answered immediately. Goes back to God's timing. We as humans want things immediately but that's not God's timing. I want financial stability. But I have to wait for God to deliver that stability but work on my spending habits at the same time.

There not saying to leave your child- they still want you to take care of your child but there referring to the influence of the outside world that can be dangerous - and since it's bad to shield your child from humanity, all a mother can hope is that God will lead them down the right path , why are people being so mean to the Christian comics - it's important to respect other people's religion

This one is freaking a lot of people out, but I think it's about relinquishing control over your child. When you're a mom you want your kid to have the best life possible and make the best choices, but you can't control either them or the world. Trying to is very unhealthy for you, your child, and everyone else in your lives. Hope this helps!

Right. In the end, a parent should do all that they can do, but there's only so much they can do. One can only strive to have peace and hope and trust that all will be okay.

It’s a biblical reference, the woman sent her son down the river to save him from being murdered and it worked. He was picked up and taken care of by another woman. The lesson here is sometimes you have to let go and trust that everything will be alright, not to abandon your children.

As a mother, one of the bravest things you can do is trust your child with their own future. There, fixed it for you.

That's definitely a very brave and true thing. When a child leaves home and begin life on their own, their parent can only hope that they will take good care of themselves and the world will be good to them likewise. Every parent only wants a happy, prosperous life for their child, and stepping back as protector and caregiver is a very brave step. Still, I feel driven to state that the artist has their own beliefs about what all this entails. They're not wrong to share these beliefs or have these beliefs- they have these beliefs for a reason. (Just as you aren't wrong to disagree with someone, and you have the beliefs you have for a reason.) I just wanted to say this.

I question God, but now that my son is grown and away from me, it’s all I have when I can’t keep him safe there’s nothing I can do but just trust and hope that my son himself and some other bigger being will make sure my young man/boy is safe and whole.

Sadly, there have been cases where children have died because they parents prayed and "trusted God" instead of seeking modern medical treatment. Why should God cure your child when you have the tools (medicine) to cure your child yourself?

It might just be me, but I would probably try and get a babysitter rather than hiding my baby in a river. Particularly after what happened the last time with little Snerticus. I don't think I'll ever live that down. How was I to know that there was supposed to be some kind of boat?

Don't ignore your issues just because you're religious. Accept that your beliefs affect nothing real, and take them out of context to use as a guide to treat yourself and others well.
