Branding Myself.

Sounds like it can be painful doesn't it? 

In case you haven't noticed - Branding Shed.com was redirected to James Dalman.com over the weekend and there may be a little confusion to what's going on so I'll give those who have been out of the loop the 411 on this change.

Through the course of the last year I have finally realized that God has called me to a dual vocational life of creative pursuits and ministry.  I simply cannot deny it or separate the two.  It's like the Yin and Yang symbol - they work together in perfect harmony and if you take one away it looks like some type of freakish tear (maybe sadness for losing the Yin or Yang). 

The deal is that I am not quitting.  I am going to continue to be a branding dude and artist but I am also going to find and pursue my groove in ministry. 

In order to do this with keeping some idea of sanity I decided to simply brand James Dalman instead of the business name Branding Shed. Branding Shed is and has been a killer name but my life-long goal isn't building a business but building the Kingdom.  Plus, the business side is just me (except for Becky Martin's awesome design help and counseling services) so it makes sense to simplify. 

So everything is as normal as normal gets in my life.  The only difference is I am going to answer the phone without a chessy tag-line, the invoices will be with my name on them, and I'll stop having multiple personalities.  Thank you for your patience and understanding during this awesome time in my life!
