Most of you have probably heard of Edgar Allan Poe. It’s more than likely you have read his narrative poem titled “The Raven” at some point in your life. As a reminder, the poem tells of a talking raven’s mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man’s slow descent into madness. I won’t go into much detail, but be sure to pick a copy and re-read it if it’s been a while. Dunno why, but today’s anamorphic painting created by a talented artist, Ari Seppä, somehow reminded me of Edgar Allan Poe and his writings. Seen from a distance it appears as if the gigantic bird has just flown into Ari’s office, but seen from up-close – the illusion vanishes. Still, the raven remains as magnificent as it originally appeared. Be sure to check “the making of..” video here. BTW, this reminds me I need to buy myself a good hard-printed copy of Edgar Allan Poe’s opus…
