Book Illustration from Poe’s “Masque of Red Death”
filed in Book Artwork and Illustrations, Book Cover Illustrations and Artwork on Dec.14, 2010
Another book illustration from my newly illustrated version of Edgar Allan Poe’s Masque of the Red Death — which can be downloaded for free from Datafilehost (in PDF format).
And, if you missed them, I also have created the book illustrations for two other free ebooks: Poe’s “Eleonora” and “The Raven.”
Please feel free to share all three books with your friends, post the titles for download, link to them, etc., etc. I enjoy being able to offer these for free — and they serve as a sort of advertisement for my book cover illustration and book artwork business.
Often word-of-mouth advertising brings book cover artwork projects to me, so the more these free ebooks are shared, the more it helps my business (and encourages me to create more free ebooks). So your help in spreading these to friends and acquaintances is always appreciated.

When not creating his own editions of Poe’s stories and poems, Duncan Long works as a freelance magazine and book illustrator for HarperCollins, PS Publishing, Pocket Books, Solomon Press, Fort Ross, ISFiC Press, and many other publishers and self-publishing authors.

I love the use of colors in this. It’s very easy on the eyes. Really nice one— one of my favorites of yours I’ve seen, which is odd cause I tend to like the sci-fi stuff in general more.

Have you ever thought about selling prints of some of your stuff? This is the kind of thing one could hang on their wall.

Thanks for the kind words. I have thought about selling prints, but the market isn’t too great, and I also am not keen on purchasing a quality printer capable of handling large paper — and printing up enough by hiring a press is likely to be something that doesn’t bring a return very quickly.
So, yes, have thought about it but always chicken out. Perhaps one day.
