Two large busts of William Shakespeare and Leonardo da Vinci were created to represent the arts and letters. Sculpted by John from styrofoam dock billets and covered with pages from old books- Shakespeare in his own works and Leonardo in George Eliot's Romola (to represent the fairer sex). Created for the VIA Advertising Agency, which recently renovated and moved their offices into the old Baxter building, which served as Portland's public library from 1888 until the 1960s. As well as a nod to the buildings past, the busts also represent advertisings copy writer and art director.
