Illustration Friday - Subterranean


"The subterraneans is a name invented by a poet and friend of mine who said 'They are hip without being slick, they are intelligent without being corny, they are intellectual as hell and know all about Pound without being pretentious or talking too much about it, they are very quiet, they are very Christlike'" from The Subterraneans by Jack Kerouac

Brilliant piece. Not only is it a fab portrait, I love the poetic sentiment behind it. The Subterraneans was awesome.

There is something powerful about the use of graphite, like a black and white photo. Love it!
