Art Made Tongue-Tied Notebook – Shakespeare Graffiti Journal

Speak truth through your art with this striking sketchbook — where bold expression meets literary rebellion. The cover features a powerful stencil-style portrait of Donald Trump paired with the timeless Shakespeare quote: “Art made tongue-tied by authority” — Sonnet 66. The design, inspired by urban protest art and political street murals, fuses stark black-and-white imagery with bold red graffiti-style typography. Dripping paint accents and a raw, high-contrast finish evoke a sense of urgency — making this more than just a notebook. It’s a creative manifesto. This sketchbook was made for artists, writers, thinkers, and dissenters. Whether you’re jotting ideas, sketching scenes, storyboarding, or journaling your reflections, it’s the perfect canvas for unfiltered imagination. The quote gains deeper resonance in light of a 2025 incident where Trump demanded the removal of a “distorted” portrait from the Colorado State Capitol — a modern echo of Shakespeare’s warning about the suppression of creativity by those in power.
