grindael - Mormon Art

I am the artist known as "grindael" and recently decided to do a series of pics on Joseph Smith & The Mormon Church getting them out to the ex-Mormon Community free of charge. I have recently become involved with the Mormon Research Ministry and contribute to a blog there called Mormon Coffee (It's forbidden, but it's good!).

I was a member of the Mormon Church for 15 years or so, served a mission, went to Brigham Young University, and after reading a lot of Historical Records, left the Church in the early 80's. I became involved again with it in speaking with Mormons here in Buffalo, and then went on the Internet in 2008. - 03/24/2010 - grindael

This is when Joseph Smith told Martin Harris to follow his footprints out into the woods and the plates would be there for him to view, but Harris went out to the woods and no plates!
