Twinkle, twinkle, little bat.

Poe

Sun Nov 1, 2009, 11:55 AM
  • Mood: Excited
I come bearing both exciting and disappointing news. First the bad, to get it out of the way: commissions will be closed until further notice due to both school, and (now for the Exciting News) that I have been invited to showcase some of my artwork at the Poe Museum right here in Richmond Virginia!
This is only my second showing, but it's an absolute dream come true to hang my Poe-inspired works in his own house. I'm meeting with the curator this coming week to figure out details, so there will be more info coming soon.

In the meantime, I've been working feverishly to gather some works-in-progress that have needed finishing, and now have a reason to have some light shed on them.

I'm comfortable sharing a few of them on my sketchblog for critique, and I've got one up now of Annabel Lee. You can view it here: [link]

So far on the list of Poe works to illustrate from I've got:
Annabel Lee
Berenice
Ligeia
Morella
The Oval Portrait
The Fall of the House of Usher
The Masque of the Red Death
and a portrait of Mr. Poe himself, and his wife Virginia

Any ideas or feedback is of course welcome as always! Keep an eye on my sketchblog for process work :)

Your art is a wonderful mixture of traditional drawing, cartoon style, morbid elements and an unique panache. For me it was love on the first sight. Keep it up!
