Description part of a 3-piece series i did for an assignment involving image and text. i chose 3 prominent Shakespeare characters and gave them a contemporary appearance and a summation of their character using contemporary dialogue.

Shakespeare rules.

Hamlet is the tragic hero of...Hamlet.

Interesting assignment! I really like his body language and facial expression. This is totally what Hamlet would look like if he were a contemporary teen. Good job!

Brilliant concept! I like the transparency Hamlet has against the text, and those eyes! It's great.

I adore this - and all this series! They're all very cool. I love Shakespeare - and most especially Hamlet.

I like the symbolism in the jacket - the coat and arms and the skulls. Very nice.

Indeed! And I think I'd like current emos more if they followed his lead and donned doublets.
