For Edgar,

 

My pen is behaving badly (yes I am blaming the pen), it took me two tries to get it right and I’m leaving it up to you to decide if it is right.

Today (January 19) is Edgar Allan Poe’s Birthday so in honour of the occasion I’m posting the pen sketch above. One of my favourites (couldn’t pick just one) from his work is “The Gold-Bug”, what’s yours?

The Black Cat

(The Black Cat, C.nick Arach, 2010)

This is inspired from the short story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe. It is about a man's decent into crazyness, he ends up killing his wife and bricking up her body but he mistakenly bricks up the black cat as well. I intended it to feel surpressing and claustrophobic as little streams of light come through a crack in the wall.
