Edgar Allan Poe by Justin Hillgrove

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 writings 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.
