This is the second iteration artwork for a Minneapolis literary event featuring LGBT poets, and focusing on Walt Whitman. I printed out the first Photoshop poster concept, and rolled it into one of my collection of vintage typewriters, then re-photographed the result. The idea in this iteration was to depict how poetry is more than just words, and creates images and word clouds out of straightforward writing.
