I can not tell if the white matter is coming from the penis looking tree or the Raven

I love it!
I hope your next painting will be something like "Poe Eh Tree"? Edgar Allen Poe stood with poetry notes with a tree, shrugging with disappointment

First I noticed his face and moved my eyes from left to right. Yet, the more I examine it, the more discomfort I feel. It is unnerving.

I like the phallus subliminal on the tent, it looks like Poe has a girlfriend.

Looks like he finally reunited with Lenore. Nice.

This is not true, he married her so she would not lose her family’s house after her parents died, as women were not allowed to own property at the time. They did not live as a couple

Sometimes a dick jizzing on a bird is just a dick jizzing on a bird.

It sounds like she was a child bride but marriage is ultimately a legal agreement and it's just cultural norms that inform our necessity of sex in a marriage.

Sperm on the tent in the form of bird poop/coming out of the penis tree. Sperm going to the egg sun in the sky. All of the Clams he shucked. Whatever is going on inside the tent. Also the fact that the title is “Potency”

Meanwhile the tent-maiden expresses a munchian scream of horror thinking of a night sharing a tent with someone getting seafood-sick.

I can relate. Never camp with exessive foodies with just one shelter.

I love the pun! Potency— Poe tent sea. Excellent artwork! :)

I would legit hang this on my wall. I would only have reservations if the tree branch is a faithful representation of this Chapman fellas branch. It would be tough to explain that one without breaking character. Otherwise a magnificent piece.

If you are a Poe enthusiast, here is a random fact:

In the movie Monkey Bone with Brendan Frasier, Edgar Allen Poe is played by Poe's great grandson Edgar Allen Poe IV.

Edit: not son but related to him by way of cousins.
