Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare

This illustration was done as an extra credit assignment for my English class during my sophomore year of high school.  I was one of the few students who loved reading Shakespeare and I jumped at the opportunity to illustrate one of my favorite poems.  I also used Patrick Nagel's style to draw the woman since he was a huge influence for me during these early years.

In case you didn't know, the opening line on this illustration is also a lyric in Sting's song Sister Moon from the album Nothing Like the Sun.
