Calligram- Keith Haring inspired



Dear Blog, 
     I really enjoyed this assignment working in illustrator. It is a new program to me and so much can be done with it; I can't wait to dive into some more exploration with it. This project was my result of a calligram. I chose to base it off of Keith Haring's work because I love his simple pieces that say so much. The text I used were the love letters between Nathaniel Hawthorne and his significant other. This contrast of classic writing and modern/pop art I thought was interesting but both embody the common theme of love so I incorporated them into this piece.
