When I was choosing my poem, I was told this one wouldn't be super upbeat, but I thought the line “breakfast would be served” was uplifting. I like doing portraits, and there's always nice texturing and line work in beards. I used patterning elements through the piece to make it more whimsical, even on the eggs! When I see homeless people in Syracuse, I always want to help them out as much as I can—I'm really glad to see that in Syracuse they're getting served a real breakfast after a long night.
