My hand drawn rendering of Henry David Thoreau an American philosopher, poet, and environmental scientist born Massachusetts, 1817-1862. Major work, Walden, where he draws upon the concrete problems of living in the world as a human being, he believed there was an inherent goodness in people and nature, he made a virtue of self-reliance.
Henry Thoreau’s impact on society today, is considered among the greatest of all American writers and the intellectual inspiration for the conservation movement. Thoreau inspired people to break the rules when you didn't believe in them, to be an individual and to fight hard for something you love and believe in, this is what I want the viewers to feel.
