I found this picture somewhere online when I was going through a Pete Doherty/English music/art/literature phase. The shadows and details in the portrait inspired me to replicate the photo. I had my reservations about how this would turn out- drawing people, especially faces, is not my strong suit at all. But using a grid system to draw 1" x 1" squares at a time helped. It also helps that you can't really see the subject's face (ha).
The quote at the bottom is taken from Death of Salesman. Although the work isn't English literature, I thought it fit well with the piece.
It reads: "Funny, you know? After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive." "Willy, nobody's worth nothing dead".
