It may be St George's Day today, but more importantly for me, as a girl born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, it's #Shakespearesbirthday

I painted this #map of all the plays of #Shakespeare to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death, which was also 23 April. The man was a genius.

“In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the #spring.” - William Shakespeare, As You Like It

“And, wheresoe’er we went, like Juno’s swans / Still we went coupled and inseparable.” - William Shakespeare, As You Like It

All the world's a stage, right? So here are all the plays of #Shakespeare painted as a schematic #map to show approximately the place where Will set them. As I too was born and bred in #StratforduponAvon, this painting is my love letter from a Stratford girl to a Stratford boy.

Which Shakespeare did you "do" at school? I did Midsummer Night's Dream, but my fave play is King Lear. Oooh, such violence and pathos! It's like a Nordic Noir TV drama.

That knew the stars as I his characters;"

Purple Shore Crab (Hemigrapsus nudus), and a bit of Shakespeare.

These little guys are everywhere on the shores of the Salish Sea, scurrying under rocks or raising their tiny claws at you, offering a fight.

I used five different reference photos (and video stills), to cobble together a leg and claw arrangement I liked. Its facial expression turned out a little more pouty than grumpy, but that's okay; I think it still works.

Soon to be for sale in the shop at the Seattle Art Museum. For information on purchasing shells, see my website: https://kitozbooks.com/product/painted-oyster-shells/

Happy birthday, Bard! 🎭
William Shakespeare was (possibly) born today in 1564, and also died on St George's Day in 1616.
