Back when I still had a studio, and a life, I got to attend the first Sleepy Hollow Film Festival in 2019, another thing that’d be later derailed by the COVID lockdown. Among the many events was the live performance of Jeffrey’s one man show NEVERMORE, directed by Stuart Gordon and written by Dennis Paoli. If you thought Combs is brilliant at bringing gravitas to B movie productions, he shone live on stage channeling the spirit of Poe. The show has us in attendance at what’s meant to be a public reading by Poe himself, shortly after the death of his wife, and as he addresses his public, he drunkenly ranges from confronting his personal feuds with other critics and poets, laments the paths he’s trodden, and reads a number of his most acclaimed works. It fucking rules. I’m sure Old Edgar would’ve love it, and it made for a perfect Halloween. 9” x 12”, oil on canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr class=\"html-br\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"html-span xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n x18oe1m7 x1sy0etr xstzfhl x972fbf x10w94by x1qhh985 x14e42zd x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 x3ct3a4 xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xkrqix3 x1sur9pj xzsf02u x1s688f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/edgarallanpoe?__tn__=*NK*F\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e#edgarallanpoe\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"html-span xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n x18oe1m7 x1sy0etr xstzfhl x972fbf x10w94by x1qhh985 x14e42zd x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 x3ct3a4 xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xkrqix3 x1sur9pj xzsf02u x1s688f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/jeffreycombs?__tn__=*NK*F\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e#jeffreycombs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e #horror #rockart #nevermore \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seppuku","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48299520622745,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7745\/files\/poecombs72.jpg?v=1783617329","url":"https:\/\/zendragongallery.com\/products\/edgar-allan","provider":"Zen Dragon Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
