He is influenced by his favourite artist, Edward Burne-Jones, but also the book illustrators, Arthur Rackham, Willy Pogany, Russell Flint, Charles Robinson, and others.  The landscapes of Devon, the Lake District and local woodland are a feature in many of his pieces.  His larger works can take up to 18 months to complete.  Ed also produces open and limited edition prints of many of his works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEd has undertaken numerous commissions, the most notable being several corporate designs for the Wychwood Brewery including 'Hobgoblin', 'Black Wych' and 'Fiddler's Elbow'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEd has a strong following and many collectors across the UK and abroad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObsidian has been showing Ed's work since we first opened in 2002, and we now showcase his work in an annual solo show.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ed Org","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59162344784255,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0250\/3233\/files\/TheOakKingandtheGreenLady.jpg?v=1794414915","url":"https:\/\/www.shop.obsidianart.co.uk\/products\/the-oak-king-and-the-green-lady-original-ed-org","provider":"Obsidian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
