Ravin' of the Week : (May 2002)

Edgar Allan Poe Portrait the Second


A loooong time ago, before planes became bombs but after George Lucas bombed, the Cafe Such-and-Such portion of your website, which has apparently been claimed by the abyss, had a painting of mine hanging there for a long spell. It was a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe clutching a black cat. You remember the one? The cat being Pluto and Edgar having one cat eye and the feline possessing a human eye? I have not definitive rationale behind that conceit, or perhaps I'd rather let the viewer have their own. Well, I'd like to one, thank you for hanging that picture on that wall for such a loooong time, despite the admonition that space was limited, and two, send you a second jpeg of another Poe portrait I've done. This one is in acrylic and low on portent, but I think it's agreeable. Anyway, I thought you'd appreciate it and if you want to hang it on your website, let me know, etc, and all that.

I am for done,

Gregory Lannom


PF replies:  In honor of such a prestigious occasion, it is definitely time to go to The House of Usher's wine cellar and get MbombedM right now!!!   *hic*  ;-)
