I love it! Poe would have used this for his avatar, were he around to-day( I'm sure of it ). I've a Poe spoof of sorts going up, later in the month( most of my posts are centred on Halloween ).

So happy I found our site.very cool and happy to be here today..greetings from San Diego..come see my photo blog at http://confessionsofaaccidentalrockstar.blogspot.com/
When I was younger, way back when, my dad took us to Pa to visit his home. I must have read all things poe, and went to bed scared every night for almost a year.
I love it! Love Ravens! Haven't been around much lately so am catching up on your prolific posting! By the way, thanks for choosing Capricious - fun interpretation, sorry I missed it at the time!
A total delight in black & white! Is this a run of Poe related illustrations...? My favourite story has always been "The Strange Case Of M. Valdemar" (very creepy). The Imp in the last post is a perfect marriage of image and story... I'd love to see this as a book! I think I like your work so much because there is so much Goreyesque elements and I could really have seen old Ed doing "the barred door" aka "the mislaied keys" aka "the imp of lost things"...:) Sea Urchin... is just perfect too (you're on a roll, hope there's plenty of creative vibes to share around:). As for 'scrobbling', speaking as a Brit, I have never scrobbled, been the victim of a scrobbling or in fact ever heard the term before. I loved the BBC version of "Box of Delights" though. It makes me feel all christmassy to think of it! Sorry not to have done your illustration challenge. If I have time I'd love too before the month is out (I'm pretty busy though so it might only be a little scribbled something at best).
when I was a youngster I memorized the poem Annabel Lee..I loved reciting it..especially the words "chilling and killing my Annabel Lee" Oh, he was deliciously morose. You have made him seem content in his darkness. I like that a lot!
R - well, I usually think my readers are a better judge of these things than I am..so, sure. I also notice that the literary ones seem to be pretty popular over at redbubble.

One of my favourite authors; a poem I could read on loop.
Fabulous image of a fabulous man. And his bird.
Quoth the raven, Nevermore...

Susan, I love ravens. If you do an alternative calender please, please, please include this picture. Or at least do a print on Redbubble :)
Poe´s expression is ... so Poe. He seems to have tamed the raven.
Oooh! I like mum's idea of a Poe-headed raven :]

All Good Things!

Ahhh this makes me want to get Poe off my shelves to read tonight by candlelight ;)
Oh yes, I like this one a whole lot.

Did I say this was a good one? : )
Edgar Alan Poe sat on a crow
with a little leather saddle
"Why does he do this"
They ask with a hiss
"when were up shit Creek
without a paddle?"
Cool drawing.

a serie with authors & their symbols? I like this.. :)
a tiny poe...or a big bird?
i say Evermore...go for it.
Mighty impressive Raven! Worthy of Poe.
when I was a youngster I memorized the poem Annabel Lee..I loved reciting it..especially the words "chilling and killing my Annabel Lee" Oh, he was deliciously morose. You have made him seem content in his darkness. I like that a lot!
please say this will go Ts...
