Artist's Comments

Be sure they were grotesque. They were much glare and glitter and piquancy and phantasm - much of what has been since seen in Hernani. There were arabesque figures with unsuited limbs and appointments. There were delirious fancies as the madman fashions. There were much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little of that which might have excited disgust. To and fro in the seven chambers there stalked, in fact, a multitude of dreams. And these - the dreams - writhed in and about, taking hue from the rooms, and causing the wild music of the orchestra to seem the echo of their steps.

Edgar Allan Poe

Daily DeviationThe Masque of the red death by ~0marchhare0 has rhythm all over in the figures' composition, decorative elements and repetition, with unique stylization and concept. And from Edgar Allan Poe, no less! (Featured by ^stigmatattoo)

This is so very detailed, just amazing.

Wow, all the details and textures, this is a great piece!
Terrifying and o-so-eye catching! Has such an art nouveau vibe to it. Great handling of all those intricate lines.

Ich persönlich halte dies für eine deiner besten Arbeiten, auch wenn sie vielleicht nicht den Geschmack der breiten Masse trifft!

Wirklich schade, dass dies deine (vielleicht vorerst??) letzte Poe-Illustration war.... allesamt waren sie herrlich!

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

All art is quite useless.
