Happy Birthday, Edgar Allan Poe

~~ Click on the image for bigger size! ~~

Today is the birthday of one of the greatest writers of thriller and horror ever: Edgar Allan Poe!
And as many of you Pulp Sunday friends know, I am a huge fan of Poe. I wish my current schedule allowed me more time to do a proper tribute, but I managed to do a quick - and a bit fun - tribute to the Mask of Red Death (below) and also found an old commission I don't think I have ever posted her eon the blog (above).
Hope you guys dig it and clebrate EAP's birthday by reading some of his tales :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Masters of Horror: Poe and Lovecraft

Hello Pulp Friends,

No, I am not talking about the SHowtime tv series but of the Masters of the modern Horror Literature. Here are two very recent commission/sketches which I was very happy to draw because are about two of my favorite writers ever (and yes, they definitely qualify as Pulp writers). Not the classic portrait we are used to see, but I like to "play" every now and then :)
I don't think I need to introduce them, do I? I do think, though, that I need to finish that Lovecraft short tale adaptation (The Outsider) I started a long time ago. It was coming along so nicely :)

Cheers!
Francesco
