Hello all! For today, here's another illustration for one of 's beautiful poems, "Great Impatience". Give it a read, and while you're at it check out some of his other work!

Initially, I wanted to illustrate something equally serious and menacing, but my childish side got the better of me and I decided to channel a bit of humor and playfulness into the piece. After all, I do think that sometimes heaviness and authenticty go well with a pinch of comedy.

Best,
Teddy
