‘kiss me & you will see how important i am.’
i'm wishing a sketchy birthday to la plath, born #otd in 1932 - &, even though i've not a chance in high hades of achieving a scintilla of the written eloquence that she displayed, here's my scribbled ode. [cheeky wee thread follows]
#sylviaPlath #illustration #poet #literature #poetry

digital pencil & ink sketch of a young & smiling young writer, sylvia plath. her gaze meets yours & she exudes quiet confidence, her arms crossed in front of her chevron-bearing, cap sleeved collegiate jumper. an abstract broad-stroke background cut through by lines that form a trapezoid sits behind sylvia.
colours are peach, coral, auburn, red & off-white.

#art #history:
i like to think that tonight's aston villa win over PSG was for benjamin zephaniah on what would - & SHOULD - have been his 67th birthday.
he was practically perfect in every way - on palestine, non-human animals, the planet, equality & the monarchy - & i know this because he wouldn't have liked anyone holding him in such high esteem.
happy ben day, everyone.
