Description R.I.P. Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)
a tribute to the legendary poet, songwriter and artist
thank you for the music

charcoal drawing (soft, medium and hard charcoal pencils)


"If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord"

-- Leonard Cohen, You Want It Darker, from his eponymous last album
