There are so many stories of all the traveling poets and writers that stayed at Shakespeare and company, read books, wrote books, met interesting people, and hung out with the famous cat that roams its halls. It felt so magical stepping in here, especially the top floor, which is what I sketched. This was years ago and I can still feel the atmosphere, a little bed surrounded by books, an old piano with a note on it about Aggie (the cat), the old walls, and perhaps my favorite part, the staircase, where part of a poem by the Persian poet Hafez is written across each step✨✨ I’m tempted to start my sketching series again, maybe this time in Dubai, the city I call home❤️ What do you think? #booktok #learnontiktok #tiktokart #photomode #sketchbook #shakespeareandcompany #shakespeare #agoodcollective
