Project Description

My Major Project intention was to explore how my ‘Todd Schorr’ inspired visual language could translate in to a written piece of text or story.
As it is the 448th celebratory year of William Shakespeare’s birth, I decided to illustrate Shakespeare’s ‘7 ages of man quote’ from the play “As You Like It”.
I have illustrated each stage using fine-liner pens creating marks, influenced by the woodcuts of Gustav Dore. Each illustration contains fine details and has an obscure reference to animation, games or the Internet.

Age: Old Age

'The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again towards childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound . . .'
