One hundred years ago today Guillaume Apollinaire died. He is my favorite writer and his poems have greatly influenced me. I’ve done a lot of work based on his: How To Be Everywhere, seed toss, trench sent, leafs and signals, more 30 Days comics from 2015 and a lot of my La Grande Guerre WW1 drawing project is based on his life.

His work is new, still, even now. NEW! He wrote poems in the trenches of France, he was a ringmaster of the Cubists in Paris, he was a bright light, a sun, and he named himself appropriately.

I’m remembering and memorializing him in the best way I can, by drawing this piece this month.
