I have always loved Shakespeare and was very excited about the opportunity to illustrate a piece about the wonderful Shakespeare festival in the park.
I love walking out to the amphitheater in the spring when the roses in the park are in bloom.
I wanted to create a fun an interesting piece and tried to give my version of Shakespeare a unique look and personality.
I hope this piece reflects those ideas and the wonderful haiku, and encourages everyone to enjoy the wonderful festival, garden, and arts here in Syracuse.
Drama in the round,
Roses, far and wide abound.
Shakespeare would be proud.
