What a pleasure to study William Blake's unique illustrations for Thomas Gray's poem "The Bard" at the YCBA. Blake inserted the printed text into a cutout in the centre of a larger sheet of watercolor paper, an absolutely novel way of approaching the relationship between text and image.

I thank them for taking the time to get to know what I was going for!

"The press release explicitly draws a parallel to the prophetic books of William Blake, and the comparison is anything but superficial."

Paid a visit this morning to the Museum of Fine Arts, primarily because they have a special exhibition of William Blake prints. I'm a fan of Blake as an artist and a poet. Given most of the exhibits came from The Tate, why didn't I see it in the UK. Well for one I had the whole exhibition to myself.
