The King In Yellow
I already quoted this poem several entries back for a different painting I made (Memories Of Carcosa), but it continues to inspire me to do more art, so here are a few lines from it once again;

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.

The King, cloaked in a tattered yellow mantle and bearing a pallid mask, is an avatar of madness and destruction.

Hello.

I'm the author of this book:



I'd like to talk to you about the possible use of this painting as a cover for another project.

Hi!
My name is Edwin, and i'm from Mexico, a friend somehow discovered your web page and told me about it.
First I would like to tell you that your art is amazing!, I really like your paintings (and sculptures!).
The second, is that when i visited your store, I saw that most of your paintings aren't available as prints.
I think this painting is incredible (so are many others...) and i don't have lots of money to buy originals (which is like a reality-slap in my face...).
I really hope to see this painting available as a print in your store soon!
A true admirer
Edwin.
PS. I'm buying some stuff from your store already... =D

Hi I am Edwin´s friend, Fernando. I´m a huge admirer of Lovecraft and all that is related to him, I´m also an art student and I really like your works, they are amazing. I wish that more of your paintings would be available as prints I´ll surely buy some.

Thanks to both you and your friend. I will be sure to take your advice and make more of these available in poster print format.
