The Woods are Lovely

   This is my hand-lettered tribute to the poet Robert Frost. The words are a portion of his poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Here is the last stanza:

   The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
   But I have promises to keep,
   And miles to go before I sleep,
   And miles to go before I sleep.

   Robert Frost is marvelous and I really like this playful typography with this poem. I think it's a nice contrast.

   @Brian Steely Thanks, man! I wonder if they still teach poetry in schools ...

   @Nikita Prokhorov Thanks, buddy! I had to do a little photoshop magic to keep the background from interfering too much with the lettering.

    I love this! The only thing I'd change is, the deep greenish-blackish background looks a bit horror-esque haha maybe make it more browned or even gray (snowy?). Could be just the way it's showing up on my monitor. Really nice stuff, Frost was a great poet.

    @Joseph Alessio Thanks, Joseph! The background represents the way I interpret the poem, and the lettering is meant to be the antithesis of that.
