Doodle of the Day for January 27, 2009

Over 200 years ago (actually he was born on January 19th, 1809) the great Edgar Allen Poe was born and Literature has nevermore been the same. My doodle today was goofing around in illustrator & photoshop while listening to an audio book of his stories.

I remember being riveted to the fantastic story, Masque of the Red Death when my class read it in 8th grade. To this day, I still find it a great read, a great examination of futility of life in the face of death. The writing is so vibrant, you can feel being in the Prince Prospero’s doomed hall. If you haven’t read it, check it out here.

The bird and tree texture behind Mr. Poe is from the great texture site LostandTaken.com run by Caleb Kimbrough. Check his site for great textures and inspiration.
