TRIBUTES

ALICE

NEVERMORE

THE JABBERWOCK

11" x 14" acrylics on canvas. 2008.

"Jabberwocky" (1872) by Lewis Carroll is my favorite poem - I memorized it in Junior High. Check out the poem if you've never read it - good stuff.

11" x 14" acrylics on canvas. 2008. SOLD

Alice in Wonderland - duh. The caterpillar is attempting to be as eloquent as Morpheus in explaining the difference between the blue and red pill. Also, I'm pretty sure the real caterpillar is dead and has been turned into a suit. I could be wrong though.

6" X 8" acrylics on canvas. 2008.

Alas, more Edgar Allan Poe. The background includes the first and last stanza from "The Raven".

Original - $275

Original FRAMED - $1000

CRYING ON THE McINSIDES

EDGAR ALLAN POE

POE IN A BOTTLE

11" x 14" acrylics on canvas. 2008. SOLD

I spent an entire day just listening to and reading Poe's short stories and poetry before starting this piece. I tried to fit as many elements from his swritings as possible, without overcrowding the painting. Also, it's impossible to read on the image above, but the wall above Poe is covered in writing - the last line from many of his pieces, as well as some other more famous quotes from them.

11" x 14" acrylics on canvas. 2008. SOLD

Companion piece to the Edgar Allan Poe piece.

6" X 8" acrylics on canvas. 2008.

He is an inmate at the lunatic asylum overseen by Dr. John Seward. Aged fifty-nine, he suffers from a delusional belief system that leads him to eat living creatures in the hope of obtaining their life-force for himself...

5" x 7" acrylics on canvas. 2008. SOLD

Here's my take on Alex the Droog from Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film adaptation of the novel "Clockwork Orange".
