Forty Words | Ink, Chalk, & Charcoal on Century-Old Book Page

Presenting "Forty Words," a captivating ink, chalk, and charcoal drawing on the venerable page of a century-old book, masterfully created by Juan 'One' Sepulveda. This artwork is not only a tribute to the literary giant Edgar Allan Poe but also a creative exploration of the profound elements that defined his work and life. Centered on the time-worn page is an evocative portrait of Poe, his features emerging amidst the aged paper, stained and jagged at the edges.
