The Grand Midway is a historic and notoriously haunted hotel built in the early 1800s, that is currently the private residence of several artists and creative folks of all kinds and owned by a dear friend and gentleman, Blair Murphy. I was honored to do this piece for this fantastic room that now houses one of the oldest, most pristine, and extensive first edition Poe collections.

Creature Feature … fan art, I think? Whatever it is, I think it’s delightful. If you haven’t listened to Creature Feature, you should. Right now.

Considering I am usually against any sort of parody or mash-up involving Winnie the Pooh (yes, I’m irrational about it), this should not have made me laugh as much as it did.

Oh, isn’t this pretty. I don’t need another Poe collection, but it’s a beautiful book.

Happy birthday, Edgar Allan Poe!

(Also, does anyone know where this necklace is from? It is GORGEOUS, and I would love to see more of the designer’s work.)

Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft. Together they fight crime. Or something.

I LOVE this poster. Will the movie be any good? No idea. But gorgeous, gorgeous designwork on the poster.

[Image description: A surprisingly cool poster for the John Cusack IS Edgar Allan Poe (INTENNNNSE) movie The Raven. White background. Top of the poster, a raven swooping in over a dark splash of blood, which itself transitions into a tiny flock of ravens. Middle left, another tiny flock of blood ravens transitioning into a scratchy blood-black murder font: “THE RAVEN.” Tiny normal type, middle right: “JOHN CUSACK IS EDGAR ALLAN POE.” (Dude, I thought I was joking about that.) Bottom right, a glass ink bottle turned over, blackish-red blood/ink spilling out; a small pool of blood/ink; and a black quill feather.]

Beautiful and haunting. The Grave of Lenore, via tatteredbanners.

I have the first Poe collection that Gris Grimly illustrated, and love it.

“Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales Of Death And Dementia is a graphic novel illustrated by Gris Grimly. It is the second Poe collection Grimly has done: the first, Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales Of Mystery And Murder, is also awesome.”

Tick Tock Tick Tock…

I love the notion of an Edgar Allan Poe tattoo. Not for *me*, but in general.
