No one knows exactly what Jesus looked like, other than that the Bible says he was nothing to look at, very ordinary, not beautiful. He was Jewish, so he had Jewish features, but other than that, no one knows.

I am not here to start a theological debate, nor do I care about the theology in it. Theology has nothing to do with this drawing. Everything in the drawing is purely symbolic to me. The background, the dirt on his face, the clothing...it is all symbolic. I do not care about historical facts, politics, or theology in the making of this drawing. The items, features, and placement of items found in this drawing are purely from my imagination. I have used 4 different models and have combined them to create a new image. I am only trying to create a visual message and idea to those who view this.

I am a believer in Christ, and I follow Him wholeheartedly, but I am not religious. Religion destroys what Christ is all about. Faith is what He is all about. This drawing is everything Christ is to me. He is life, love, hope, joy, pain, hurt, sacrifice......the list is unending. He is my all.

Done 2/2007.

"He Is" is done in graphite pencil and is 20x29.5 inches.
