What if Harry Clarke had illustrated our nightmares? In 1919 he drew Edgar Allan Poe's. I asked him to draw ours.
I went digging through the Public Domain Image Archive and found Clarke's 1919 plates for Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination: black-and-white ink by a Dublin stained-glass artist, all long pale fingers and dread. I trained ten of them into a Recraft style, Clarke Ink 1919.
Then I retold ten of Poe's tales as the horrors of the smartphone age. Each plate sits beside Clarke's original, and each caption is his own line with one word swapped: "the heart beat on with a muffled sound" became "the phone buzzed on". A man is buried alive in his inbox. The masked guest is a 99+ badge.
The only colour in the whole book is the red notification dot. The film ends inside Recraft, showing how it was made.

Happy Halloween. The style is public, so try it yourself 👇
This is an example of how simple art can be turned into films.
Everything is so refined and polished. I genuinely wanna know how did you come up with this?
A closer look at ROVR, a landing page concept for an autonomous delivery robot.
A robot at your door is new for most people, so every section answers a question a first time customer would ask: how it gets here, what it can carry, what it costs and what happens if it gets stuck.
Our favorite part is the FAQ, rebuilt as a chat where you can ask ROVR anything.
What would you want to know before a robot delivers your groceries?
Love the idea of turning the FAQ into a conversation. My first question would be: what happens when the robot encounters something unexpected mid-delivery? Showing how ROVR handles those moments could build more trust than any feature list.
