This is the first concept art for a Minneapolis literary event featuring LGBT poets, and focusing on Walt Whitman. I began with a friend modeling at the beach, then added several layers of text (word clouds made with Wordle using Whitman's poetry) to create a fantasy landscape, with a man made out of words. A lot of layers and processing in Photoshop were used to develop this concept.
