OMG! Worst House of Usher EVA!!!111
You find really weird shit when you decide to look for other people who have your interests...

"Here's my House of Usher picture!" "That house sucks!" "You're so ignorant!" "I know Poe far better than you do!" "Put your crap behind an LJ cut!"

And throughout this all I'm wondering is when gamma rays were added into the story. RODERICK USHER SMASH!

i just don't want to talk about artistic style w/ someone who uses that kind of language

What, polite language? It's not like she said "Get that cocksucking post off my fucking friends page, you stupid blood fart."

You know what bothers me about this -

1) Half the people spell Edgar's name wrong. It's Allan.
2) Poe isn't Victorian. He's Early National Period, and he died three decades before the American Victorian period even started. It's like calling Phyllis Wheatley a Harlem Renaissance writer. Penny Dreadfuls and later dark works may owe a lot to Poe, in particular detective stories and true crime, but very little of that was even Victorian.
3) If you can't take your stuff being mocked, you shouldn't display it.

I suppose gamma rays are the only logical explanation for why they are green. That's probably why the house of usher fell you know, all the smashing. And the guy in the Raven is clearly Batman.

That demands an icon is so many ways I can't even describe it.

Also, I think does that make the Black Cat Catwoman? I don't see it in latex.

I dunno, I don't even like the picture to begin with, really. I like the last commenter though, really sums up the whole wank in a single post.

"Not everybody likes modern art. I'm really not too fond of his paintings, and I'm happy when he puts them behind cuts. I think darkdisney really overreacted to the first commenter- I saw nothing rude in that comment, and it did not deserve the response it got. If you can't take any sort of criticism, then stop posting your art. Really, I'm not sure the characters in the Fall of the House of Usher had green skin. *shrugs* I could be wrong..."

Yes.

Were the characters in House of Usher in bad alien makeup?

Heh, [info]delightdelirium is the most sensible one of the bunch. I couldn't believe how many people commented, house annoys the shit out of me, almost V.C. Andrews feel to it (Wha?-nevermind), very stylized and unique, etc. etc. without mentioning that Madeline and Roderick are from Orion.

did anyone notice the outline of the house is in the same coloring as the hair & some of the background?

Yes. Did you notice the people are green?

Before scrolling down, realizing this was Poe, getting out my Collected Works of his and flipping through it until I said "Oh! That House of Usher!", I was sure this was a community for some soap opera or another.

I mean, just look at them. You can almost hear her saying "You slept with my sister, you bastard!"

Hee! I didn't see this comment before I posted mine below--I said the same thing basically, only I compared it to a WB drama. The melodramatic angst, it oozes.

Apart from the green skin, that painting looks like a promo poster for a new show on the WB.

"Usherwood," anyone?

Love the painting except for that house; it's annoying the shit out of me. Is there a reason for having made the house in that style?

Somehow that doesn't seem quite, um, RUDE, to me.

It took me a moment to sort out why there was a house in the middle of the picture. At first I thought it was some strange sort of watermark.

But the "Cask of Amontillado" one? Finest illustration I've seen of the story's anti-capitalist allegorical elements. Couldn't have made it any clearer that the subtext of the story is about how the "thousand hurts" done by big business leave the average consumer with no choice but to take a photo of some corporate suit seconds before he's hit by a train and paint the picture on a wall of Legos. Brava!

I can stand the creepy-colored people, but overall, it looks like the cover art for the programme of "The Fall of the House of Usher: An Interpretive Dance".

It's the shadeless, non-historically-themed-much-less-accurate, leotard-like clothes.
