About

Hi — my name is Paul Mignard. I own a tiny e-learning development company by day, and the rest of the time, when I'm not with my wife or my boys, I draw interesting people that say interesting things.

I've always taken notes in church, but a few years ago I found myself with a problem: I kept drifting during the sermon. It wasn't good drifting either. I couldn't decide between burritos or pizza for lunch. Not a great thought pattern to be stuck in while the pastor is trying to reveal the secrets of the creator of the universe.

The only way I found to keep my mind on what was being said — and to actually retain it longer than the hour after the service — was to draw at church. Literally draw, not just take notes. I've always liked to draw, I wanted to become more engaged in my faith, and now here I am, a few hundred sketchnotes later.

Along the way the drawings widened out from sermons to quotes from writers, pastors, and podcasters that made me stop and think, verses I wanted to sit with, and the occasional superhero. I post everything first on Instagram, but this site is where all of it lives in high resolution, free from the algorithm that decides what you do or don't see inside the walled gardens.

Say hi

DM me on Instagram or Threads.
