Longlisted illustration for the Folio Society’s annual Book Illustration Award, an international illustration contest. Based on the short story “Red Masque of Death” by Edgar Allen Poe, entrants were tasked with illustrating a scene depicting a specific line of text from the story. I chose “And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” to capture the Red Death at the climax of the story, basking in his victory after murdering the cast of party guests.
