The Write Direction

This work features the familiar, highly-detailed style you have come to know in Jake's collectible works. Demonstrated in this piece is a compass rose designed with the writer in mind: calligraphy and fountain pens alike comprise the points of this compass and the charge adorning the perimeter of the design directs the lost writer in a most poetical way... "When you are lost amid dreams and thoughts,  When feelings fail you and hope departs, Take the course that is tried and true;  Follow the pen -- Write where it leads you." Words composed by Jake Weidmann. Interesting fact: the poetical phrase comprises of 32 words; a traditional compass rose has 32 points. Consider each word of this phrase a point on the Writer's Compass, directing them through the fog of their writer's block! Pen and Ink (executed using a hand-dip calligraphy pen) 2019.
