Another Book Illustration for “Masque of the Red Death”
filed in Book Artwork and Illustrations, Book Graphic Design on Dec.17, 2010
Yet 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).
This illustration is actually a composite of several other illustrations I created some time ago. It never really fit into any project, so I pressed it into service here in the section of the story dealing with the massive black clock that chimes ominously.
For those interested, I have several other free ebooks I’ve illustrated and done the graphic design work for: 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.

I like this one, Duncan – the eyes are expressive and arresting. But what really brings it all together is the combination of gold and magenta: two royal colours that go well with the antiquing.
