Happy BELATED #birthday to #VINCENTPRICE! May 27, 1911 – October 25, 1993 He would’ve been 108! . My introduction to Price was when played #Egghead on the 60’s #Batman show that we’d watch in syndication every Saturday morning. Price scared the bejeezus out of me when he did the voice over on #MichaelJackson ’s #THRILLER. Then again in #TimBurton ’s #EdwardScissorhands from there I began seeking out his other films. #THELASTMANONEARTH #HOUSEONHAUNTEDHILL #THETINGLER and #THEPITANDTHEPENDULUM are still favorites of mine. The best and weirdest one has to be #ConfessionsOfAnOpiumEater I had only seen it once but was completely weirded out by it. I wish I could find that on dvd. . Vincent Price was also an avid art collector and wrote a few cookbooks. He influenced many artists and musicians that influenced me. #TheMisfits wouldn’t have as many records if it weren’t for Price and the films he starred in. . This piece was originally designed for @queensofthestoneage in 2014. I had been holding onto this idea of using Price from the #tingler aka #IlMostroDiSangue being that the first few #qotsa albums were all about drugs. Vincent Price holding a syringe full of fun seemed like a fun and innocent idea. . After the #rockposter sold out I reused the art and changed the design a bit for my solo show #screamwithme The art print glows in the dark. Fancy business! . I still have a few A/Ps of the art print http://bodega.brianewing.com/art-prints/ . THANKS to everyone for the encouragement and love regarding Sonic Temple. It was a TON of fun and I hope to do more with them next year. . #illustration #alternativemovieposter @capsulesbook (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByB2dr2FNmv/?igshid=u5i3e74h9k7f

Here's a sketch-to-finish process of my interpretation of The Pit and the Pendulum. Excited to say that on 10/27, my collection of Poe illustrations will be included in a group show at the Poe Arts Festival, hosted by the German Society of Pennsylvania! The work will be on display for the remainder of the year. Head to Poeartsfestival.com for more info. 💀

Working on some Etsy inventory today. I recently had an inquiry on my Haunted Poet prints which are out of stock except for greeting cards and post cards. I've been wanting to revive this line with a series two run as I wasn't completely satisfied with the color calibration on the initial run. This is an 8x10 test print from the final file. I'll be adding new 5x7s, 8x10s, 9x12s, and a few 13x19 oversized prints to my shop! #artwork #artprint #limitedcolor #vectorart #edgarallanpoe #haunted #poet #gothic #horror #macabre #nevermore #raven #blackcat #telltaleheart #writer #poe #thepitandthependulum #skulls #madness #illustration #portrait #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art
