Poe: Rockstar!

Poe was the equivalent of a rockstar for his day and age, playing to packed houses and sold out theaters. A legend in his own time!!

Poe: The Turk

Run!! Its the TURK!!! Actually, the Turk was the nickname for the chess playing automoton created by a clever Bavarian inventor to fool people of the time into thinking they were playing with a real live robot!! However it was just a man in a box… which Poe brilliantly deduced using his amazing powers of observation. This image is based on sketches of the actual machine, and is used in the exhibit to decorate the kiosk which houses the video game I created for the Library, “I Know Poe”.

Poe Exhibit: Rectangular designs

Here are the rectangular silhouettes I designed for the same exhibit. These were also used throughout the gallery, and are drawn from Poe’s stories as well, but were intended also to act as Genre illustrations for the styles of writing Poe was known for and helped invent.

Poe Exhibit: Square designs

These are the square silhouettes I designed for the Library of Virginia’s Edgar Allan Poe exhibit. These were all based off of individual Poe stories and printed on banners used throughout the lobby & gallery.
