William Shakespeare - Text Portrait

Done. I was going to "draw" further down, but since I started this toward the right hand side of the paper, it won't be balanced like this style of portrait needs to be. So, good enough! Plus, it already gets the point across of who it is (hopefully).

As a side note: Have you ever really looked at Shakespeare's portrait? He's one goofy lookin' fellow...

Did you type the text from one of his plays? Just curious.

Yelnoc says:

@Dogtired - I think it feels like it takes longer than it really does.
@elizzzy - The writing is from Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Thanks
@rachels_squiggles - Thank you
@deadlydaisy - Thanks... Some times when I do stuff like this I'm afraid it won't be distinguishable, since it is just hand writing...

This is amazing! You are so talented.
This is instantly recognisable as the traditional image.
It seems so appropriate for our finest playwright to be portrayed using the words from some of his greatest works.
Thank-you for sharing this on Flickr.
If I could fave it twice, I would.
