These demons torment me, be they real, or imagined.....

I can see Poe, at his writing desk, potentially high, probably drunk, debating with himself whether the images that surround him are actually there or the product of some waking fever dream.

In this piece Bing Cansino uses his magic pencil to portray Poe in his tortured state, writing his next masterpiece, and amidst the images from his most famous works.

The Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Black Cat, The Tell Tale Heart, The Cask of Amantillado and more are all represented in this wonderful piece by Bing.

Many thanks to Bing and to his utterly professional representative Kirk Dilbeck for delivering a gorgeous piece and a totally satisfactory commission experience.

My favourite hands down!! A trophy room of madness and despair is one of brilliant inspiration! This piece takes your theme to a whole new level. I feel so humbled by this masterful creation.

Thank you for the kind words Chris. I loved the idea right out of the gate and am so happy with the execution @ the finish line. Congrats on a new 'killer' piece.
