Edgar Allen Poe Pendants

I have always been an amateur artist, I love sketching and painting and I definitely do not participate in the activity enough. I spent a large majority of my time in high school in the various art studios. Drawing and painting, photography, jewelry, sculpting and any other art class that was offered.

Growing up in the late 70s and throughout the 80s, I was a child of comic books, Saturday cartoons and the video arcades. I was influenced early in life by a friend of the family who was an avid Alice Cooper fan, so I began my journey into Hard  Rock, Heavy Metal and 80s hair bands. However my favorites were Molly Hatchet, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and eventually Metallica.

I loved the album art and this had a direct influence on my dark/macabre side. I love Poe, Frazetta ad the likes of Giger.

So come my leaning towards the shades of black and interest in bikers, gothic and metal culture. Here are three great gothic necklace that are in direct line with my interests. Commemorating 200 years of the master of the macabre Edgar Allan Poe (1809 ~ 1849) tragic genius of poetry & prose, these pendants pull quite a few elements together.
