Kickstarter Redux
We’re still kicking, so to speak, in a Kickstarter sort of way. So, why am I passionate about POE? I read his stories and poems in high school and they made an indelible mark on my life as an artist. For me, the name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and bloody corpses walled within false chimneys. Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured my imagination, so too has Poe himself. Was he some morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles? Or is this the Poe of legend? I think that this fascination with Edgar Allan Poe, the legend and the man behind the legend, extends far beyond my own personal and artistic interest. Poe’s life and stories would make a fantastic and fascinating animated feature and I think there is a large audience out there waiting for it. Please take the time to check out the Kickstarter page, and if you can contribute anything, thank you. If not, tell your friends. It’s the friends and the friends of friends who will help us move forward.
