A Poet’s Procrastination

by Matthew Spencer

The Prince of Spring’s Court Poet takes great pride in their carefully crafted writing environment. It’s perfectly set up to inspire and not distract. Now if they could only think of a perfect first word…..

–
Inspired by the intimidation of a blank page, the lure of a beautiful day, and how hard it can be to realize that sometimes the key to getting something done is to step away from it for a while.

Painted in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil on 140lb Arches hot press paper. Accented with gold ink.

The artwork is framed in a vintage frame, custom painted by the artist to match.

Matthew Spencer is a queer illustrator from southeast Michigan.

He works primarily in ink, watercolor and gouache (often embellished with metal leaf), creating pieces inspired by folklore, history, and nature.

Outside of his freelance work, he has been slowly but surely been illustrating his own tarot deck. The Courtly Beasts Tarot- along with a good deal of Matthew’s other personal work- depicts a fantastical world populated by anthropomorphic animals in elaborate costume, set within lush environments both botanical and architectural.
