The drawing everyone can’t stop staring at.
Charcoal on paper – tender, fierce, open to interpretation.
Some see forbidden fantasy lovers. Some see Jesus pulling a soul close. Everyone feels something.

Desire (The Embrace) – Hand-Signed Charcoal Print
The Story Behind Desire (The Embrace)
Started as a quick sketch inspired by a fantasy series embrace and the ache in Ryan Adams’ song “Desire.” Ended up becoming the piece that stops every single person at my tent events.
Some see lovers lost in passion.
Some see Christ welcoming a believer home.
I see both. You’ll see whatever your heart needs.
