The Great Ones
The Great Pumpkin - 36x24 Poster
The Great Pumpkin ("Cucurbita Maxima") secretly oversees all witch-hunts and has also been known to devour powerful woodland monsters. The title is won by single combat. On Hallowe'en, the Great Pumpkin selects a single patch of pumpkins and pays it a visitation, where he must accept all challenges...
This monstrously detailed poster illustrates the history of the Great Ones from antiquity to the present. Over a hundred pumpkins in over thirty vignettes fill out six square feet. The drawings and calligraphy were made completely by hand by M.K. Davis. Featured Great Ones hail from the U.S.A., Canada, Ireland, England, Scandinavia, the Alps, Ukraine, Mexico...well a lot of places!
The poster is matte finish in order to glow optimally under a UV light (optional) and to accept UV paints if desired.

Misty Mountains Old
The Dwarven Song of Old Wealth. All 27 verses. In the halls of Erebor (The Lonely Mountain). 37x60. Words and runic alphabet by J.R.R. Tolkien. Illustration by M.K. Davis.
I had more details in mind for this one but as is typical these days, it was gathering dust on the drawing table. And hanging off of the drawing table! At five feet long and over three feet wide, it's honking big. But it perfectly occupies the wall over my stairwell. I had to tape a screwdriver to a bamboo cane to mount it.

The Tolkien atlas illustrates a much simpler, much more shallow Erebor. But where's the fun in that? I wanted a cutaway dungeon version more fitting for "hollow halls beneath the fells" in "places deep where dark things creep."
No attempt was made at consistency of scale or of even being reasonable with it, but what you probably can't see in this pic are many ladders, bridges, elevators, and tunnels. By the time I got to Smaug's heap, the notion of chalices and statuary in silhouette just didn't make sense anymore. But should I change my mind, I can always go back to it.
BIG THANKS to Mike Roberts for getting my initial layout printed on that wonderful paper. Don't know what it is but I wish I had a ton of it. It made a gorgeous clean print and has taken a lot of abuse without wrinkling or tearing.
