Artist's Comments

An Illustration of 'The City in the Sea' by Edgar Allan Poe. I whipped it up very quickly because the poem was so entrancing. Here's an excerpt:

"Up many many a marvellous shrine
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.

Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and the shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down."


Fantastic poem, I recommend reading it. I did this piece in charcoals and ebony pencil.

Oh wow!
I love the detail and just everything about this. I think the broken trees are my favorite. But the castle is looking pretty awesome as well! You are very skilled at buildings my friend
