I think the poem this is from has no title... for the life of me I couldn't find one.

Well done on the shading of the bird. A very pretty illustration!

Are you aware that the line from the poem is "quoth the raven" and not "quote the raven?"

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

HAHA I think he does and the play on the words is intentional.

Re: Fire and Ice - Robert Frost

Speechless!

Re: Air Quoth

Wow, soooo much better than my attempt.

Good work.

Re: The Writer

10000 yeses! I would wear the crap out of this shirt <3. Also, I've never read that poem before, but it was quite excellent. Thanks for linking to it!

Re: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

I do adore this poem .

Thanks!

And thanks to the posters on the previous version. People tend to fixate on things like misquothing.

Re: Canis Major

Beautifully drawn, anemality. Off to bed with you. :^)

Re: Where the Sidwalk Ends

I tried to ramp mine up a bit but your colors look really nice together.

I love the wakey eye of the cat in the background!

Re: A Little Victory - 'To a mouse'

Aw, thanks guys! I'm trying to keep my designs really simple at the moment - conservin' energy. I had a good time drawing this.

I hope the pattern conveys the idea of stacked up wheat sheaves okay. :^)

Re: A Little Victory - 'To a mouse'

I love this poem!--and great design!

Re: Miles to go Before I Sleep

I like the way you drew the walker. It looks pretty cool!

Re: I know why the caged bird sings

Simply lovely! (as always)

Re: The Tyger

Well, I am unfamiliar with the reference, but this looks unbelievably wicked enough to stand alone, I think, so +1 regardless

Re: Air Quoth

Too awesome!

Oh don't do that! Pitch it in!

Re: 10 000 stars - e.e. cummings

And this is your first entry? Gee I wish my first entry was this good!

Re: I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

This style works very well with this coloring. Great job!

Re: A Little Victory - 'To a mouse'

What, you pass over haggis and whiskey for mice and wheat? o.O

But mark the Rustic, haggis fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll mak it whissle;
An' legs an' arms, an' heads will sned,
Like taps o' thrissle.

Thanks! Yours came out really nice! I was having trouble with the "crimson sun" part. You came up with a nice solution to that.

Thankyou guys! i wish I knew how stuff worked better though... i have no idea how to get a link to my design in my posts, and I'm trying to send the hi-res file to derby@woot.com but my emails keep failing! arg!

Re: Air Quoth

Oh, it doesn't say Quote the raven? oh.. jk
Great job!

Re: I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Very nice choice!

Re: An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

I thought before that this was just a quote, but then I found out it has further rhymes with it:

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Apple in the morning - Doctor's warning
Roast apple at night - starves the doctor outright
Eat an apple going to bed - knock the doctor on the head
Three each day, seven days a week - ruddy apple, ruddy cheek"

Enjoy!

Re: The Tyger

I would think this is a Chinese reference... but regardless it looks amazing!

Re: A poem as lovely as lovely as a tree

I love this, so whimsical

Re: Namárië/Aldudénië (Tolkien)

Very nice glow effect

Re: Where the Sidwalk Ends

I love this! Not crazy about the arrow, but otherwise just lovely

Me too! Adorable!! Nice one Spiritgreen!:D

Re: The Tyger

"Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"

Great shirt!

Re: Namárië/Aldudénië (Tolkien)

Thank you both!

Re: A Little Victory - 'To a mouse'

It looks like you have wicker baskets in the background. Great simplistic drawing!
