In the heat of the moment, flames rise around them — and neither one notices, or cares.
Desire is a surreal Beefcake Bear couple portrait by California artist RD Riccoboni, painted in deep blues, light blues, yellows, oranges, and gold. The very air around them burns with the intensity of their embrace. Bold, romantic, and otherworldly — from the LGBTQ+ Art Collection.
This illustration is also featured in RD Riccoboni's graphic novel Knights of the Vermillion Rose — an adult science fiction fairy tale picture book where mythical bear heroes journey through a universe of love and adventure. Get the book to discover their story.
