Gamble Everything For Love
Friday, February 13th, 2015 | Posted in Drawings, Felix by Felix
This piece is an illustration of a quote by Rumi, the wonderful 13th-century Sufi poet. The full stanza reads:
“Gamble everything for love,
if you are a true human being.
If not, leave this gathering.
Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.”
This is an early foray into hand-lettering — an art-form that I’ve long admired, but hadn’t begun to attempt until very recently. I’ve acquired a few brush pens, which makes practicing fun!
