We are back with another edition of our CREATURE DOUBLE FEATURE where we discuss TWO different artworks by TWO different artists and compare what makes them so terrifying!
Usually, we are able to squeeze them into one episode but not this time!
And we kick off our 2025 CDF edition with illustrator, painter, and stained glasser Harry Clarke (1889-1931).
Harry hailed from Dublin, Ireland and grew up during the Celtic Revival.
Harry was just as popular for his book illustrations during the Golden Age of gift-books as well as his other-wordly religious stained glass in churches.
While his masterpiece is the Geneva Window, a breathtaking example of Harry’s skill and mastery of stained glass, we will be focusing on an illustration from the book of Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allen Poe (1919, 1923).
Yes, horror-ific Edgar. Allan.Poe.
The work in question is that of “King Pest” from 1919, a story about two drunken sailors bumbling about a 19th century plague-stricken London.
Sounds chill but the combo of grim and gory Poe plus Harry’s scary talent of visualizing such tales will give you the heebie-jeebies (not all speaking from experience 👀).
Click PLAY if you dare and get ready to be HARRY-FIED!
Topics include E-Girl socks, El Chavo del Ocho, island getaways, pampooties, Derry Girls, Guinness, TB vaccines and much, much more!
