Poet (Henry Reed)





                                                               Size: 23 x 21 cms
                                                               Media: Ink on paper
                                                               Pen: Uniball Eye

I didn't like any of his poetry or quotes so I used my imagination in the speech bubble. (Edit: Some of his poetry is quite good actually...I just wrote this for effect!)

Poet (Robert Frost)




                                                               Size: 17 x 17 cms
                                                               Media: Pen & Ink
                                                               Pen: Sailor Sapporo

Saw this quote and thought I'd try and do a caricature of the guy who said it...The American poet, Robert Frost ( 1874-1963). I always get lost in poetry...which is good. I never try and translate.I think the same goes for all Art....Maybe its best left unquestioned. I remember at Art school being told something like: 'objects lose their aesthetic value when given a name.' I think poets use their words for their aesthetic value.
