mr. cory basil is the perfect combination of illustrator and poet. his watercolor and ink pieces are both dark and endearing, and his poetry speaks straight to one's soul. he recently published a collection which he both authored and illustrated, by the name of Skinny Dipping in Daylight.
here is a poem from the collection, "blind":
i'm thumbing through the memories
searching for the words
dreaming in black and white
but living shades of grey
i'm picking up the pieces
from the corners of the earth
ones laced with intentions
of leaving you behind.
simple, endearing, and concise: our favorite kind of poetry.
below are some of mr. basil's illustrations.
we hope you enjoy cory basil's art as much as we do. fun fact: he lives here in Nashville and currently has an exhibit up in Frothy Monkey (downtown Franklin). if you're interested in mr. basil and would like to know more, you can find his information on his facebook page. check it out!
