Painting pictures of myself, painting pictures of my family, painting pictures of my friends, painting pictures of my studio, painting "socialist" pictures, painting pictures of nekkid womens, painting fruits, being the greatest artist alive, stealing Whistler's womens, grooming my beard, being 'desperate', contradicting myself in every sentence, writing letters to Max, ridiculing those hypocrites at the Salon, hanging out with hookers.
Myself. Oh wait, you said "meet", my English is not so good. Um, Velazquez and the Le Nain brothers. Also Friedrich Nietzsche, I have no idea how he managed to get away with writing about how he's "so wise" and "so great" whilst no-one's even heard of me. What do you say Freddy? Gimme the secret of your success! Schopenhauer.Anyway, enough about them. LET'S SEE JUST HOW GREAT I AM:

Hmm. I quite like Berlioz and he quite likes me. Tom Jenkinson bases his whole look on me (increasingly even the rotund physique). I'm also in a band called The Stonebreakers.
"The Life and Times of Emile Zola". I'm not actually in it, but I think Edouard might be and he's basically me with less talent. "The Man Who Knew Too Much", I empathise. Of course, I don't know too much, I know just enough. I'm a fucking genius.
Tipping the Velvet (lesbians), L'Emmerdale (rural backwards types), The Young Ones (anarchy lol) and Bob Ross (obvious) .
Anything written by my good friends Champfleury, Baudelaire and Buchon. Also I like to read my letters and manifestos over and over again. I'm so great.
I have never seen a hero, show me one and I shall write his name in this box here.
