POE AND HIS DEMONS

Let this post serve as a reminder of the January art challenge at Quoth the Raven, Nevermore. You can find all the details for the "Snow Poe" (white on white, with a spot of color) challenge here.  

It has been written in many biographies about Poe how life-long demons seemed to pursue him. Poe, himself, even wrote of demons in more than a dozen of his works.  In his poem Ulalume, Poe's reference to the demon seems to be almost personal.

In my artwork today, I have featured a stamp from Stampotique Originals called "Heads" by designer Daniel Torrente.  My quote is computer generated/printed and is from Ulalume by Poe.

  3. Love this series Kay. He was such an interesting but tragic soul, wasn't he. I think most of us have felt this emotion and thought ... and probably more than once in our lives. (((Hugs)))
