air and light and time and space →

Gavin Aung Than, of Zen Pencils, does it again, this time giving his brilliant illustration treatment to the Charles Bukowski poem "air and light and time and space."

/via Brain Pickings , who had this to say:

His 1992 poem “air and light and time and space,” found in the altogether fantastic anthology The Last Night of the Earth Poems, is a poignant and soulful reminder that “inspiration is for amateurs” and grit is the real key to creativity — or, as Tchaikovsky famously put it, “a self-respecting artist must not fold his hands on the pretext that he is not in the mood..”

In other words? Fuck your muse.
