"If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered."
- Edgar Allen Poe

In the spirit of reckless enthusiasm, I am taking a shot at painting Edgar Allen Poe (sans color so far). It's been a while since I've tried to create something from reference, but it's coming along alright. Artists make it look so easy, and learning to walk is hard when so many are visibly running past.

"I did fidget through Beethoven, but actually I’m really glad they packed it all in there - it made up for the fact I was crap at school, completely rubbish, and had to leave at 16. Then my big brother turned up, his other son. He had Modern Jazz Quartet, Miles Davis. And I was absolutely blown away. The extraordinary places music can go, the different changing textures, how you can thread ideas through different changes and still be coherent - you get used to that with classical, and jazz seemed to me to have that too.”
