Hello Gavin – I’m a new visitor, and I came here to browse the archives of this wonderful site of yours. I “dabble” a bit in art, but your work is most impressive and inspiring. I was thrilled to see you use this quote from Thoreau.

To answer your question about Walden – Yes. Read it. I read it about 4 years ago. It changed my life entirely. Fast-forward to today. I’m currently beginning construction on a small cabin near a pond where I plan to live off-grid and off the land for as long as the spirit moves me. Henry David Thoreau died at the age of 44. I’ll be that age later this year. I hope to pick up where he left off in life in an attempt to discover the things that are truly important in this world.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork with everyone.

Walden is fantastic. It can be a bit tough at times, but you have to read it for yourself and no one else. Take your time with it if you need to. But if, while reading, you take the time to read it for it’s beauty and what it discusses and depict, you will realize it in all it’s beauty.

I am in love with these. Your art intertwined with quotes is inspirational. I am a teacher and I know that a lot of students are surrounding themselves with graphic novels more and more, and these are beautiful examples. Thank you for these!
