    I noticed this was gone from your DA. I hope people didn't harass you for the subject matter or something, this is such a powerful illustration and the little bits of symbolism really, really make it amazing

    Agreed with Lochi.  There will be people offended by this piece, but art that makes an emotional connection can do that.  I can't ask people not to be offended, but in my personal opinion, the real offense is that people see this image and understand it depicts something that has happened many times and likley will happen many more.

    Great illustrations, please keep up the great work.

    I don't think enough people make heavy statements with their art anymore. I mean...that is because they don't have to. We create what we want. And I think generally I'm talking about illustrators and not so much....general artists. I'm glad that you were thinking about this. That you decided to make it SO heavy and not just symbolic or open to interpretation. You're an amazing illustrator. I truly admire your work. Your subject matter is SO diverse. This is great. Statement on the Catholic church. Very thoughtful. Very heavy.
