Description

"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This new portrait of Emerson will be the cover for an upcoming book by Sam Torode. I really enjoyed reacting the copper with leaves and grass to get that complicated background texture.
