Popshot Magazine sent me a poem to create an illustration for. To reflect the meaning of the poem, without wanting to use any visuals actually mentioned in the piece, I settled on the idea of drawing an old writing desk. This was where I wanted to imply that the poem had been written, but with the old objects faded and being taken over by new objects belonging to the grandchild of the writer.
