Day 76: Edgar Allen Poe


Today is January 19th... Edgar Allen Poe's birthday! Well, if he was still alive. Nonetheless, I embrace the memory of Edgar Allen Poe. The stories are fantastic, and he is the original horror and mystery author. 

Most of the drawings I did don't really look that much like Edgar Allen Poe. They actually kind of look like John Wilkes Booth. Apparently, until you make the cranium more giant than is normal, that's the way it is...

 

Or, maybe it's just the generic side-parted hair and mustache of the 19th century. But then again, Poe did have a huge head. Maybe it just explains his brilliant morbidity and ability to write strange and macabre horror.
