Description
“Sophia & Mister Walter Whitman”
Because we love what we do, and the walls of our world are graced with many of these custom creations, we thought our fellow lovers of “book cover art” might enjoy this fine art print as well. Whether displayed in a hallway, the kitchen, or your office, it is a visceral reminder of life’s possibilities when storytelling and visual art merge.
The cover art for Sophia & Mister Walter Whitman (by Penelope Scambly Schott) was inspired by Penelope’s collection of persona poetry told through the “voice” of her beloved dog, Sophia, and her “conversations” with Walt Whitman. Penelope prepared Sophia for her special photoshoot with Robert, and what a delightful canine-model she was! Using an old photo of Walt Whitman (via creative commons), Robert was able to create this magical portrait of Sophia and Walt having quite the conversation. Ruff! Ruff!
