The face of Jesus, and the face of one of his many names, "the lion of Judah", blended together into one. Master. Conqueror. Savior.

It symoblizes the lion and the lamb. God is the lion, and Jesus is the lamb. It's a play on the Truth that God and Jesus are one, like a yolk and a shell.

Brilliant...  What else can be said?  Usually I am turned off by images of Jesus simply because I do not like to put Him in human terms...  However, something about this particular image makes me want to cry.  The symbolism of Christ, our Savior...  It's beautiful.  Nicely done.  :)

No, s/he is drawing one of Jesus' names, "the lion of Judah," in s/he's own way.

Well my youth pastor currently has the original in his office. But I could probably work something out as far as a print goes

Beautiful.  Would you be interested in selling the original or perhaps a print?

Wow!  This is amazing...it's really encouraging to see people using their talents in ways that glorify God instead of bringing others down.  I absolutely love it!
