#EdwardGorey is a gem;

Each night Father fills me with dread
When he sits on the foot of my bed;
I'd not mind that he speaks
In gibbers and squeaks,
But for seventeen years he's been dead.

#EscrituraCreativa
Curiosamente, una de las mejores descripciones que conozco del #ProcesoCreativo de un #novelista fue hecha por alguien que nunca escribió una #novela: Edward #Gorey.

Ya están en línea mis ejercicios de #EscrituraCreativa para esta semana. Es una entrega especial, gratuita, por el centenario de #EdwardGorey (1925-2000), escritor e ilustrador de historias extrañas e inquietantes. (Uno de mis favoritos, la verdad.)

100 years ago, 22 Feb 1925, #EdwardGorey was born in Chicago. The American writer & artist was famous for his odd & #macabre illustrated books, both idiosyncratic & highly influential for the #Gothic style. Here are 4 books by him from our collection

Musical Interlude: OK, to add something bizarre and macabre to Valentine's Day....This started as a work by Edward Gorey that he meant to illustrate, but never got around. He sent a bunch of his writings to the group The Tiger Lillies, of which he was fond, and allowed them to set them to music. (The Gorey estate, I understand, is none too happy about this....) And this became a show, and later album, "The Gorey End."

The Tiger Lillies aren't for everyone, and while I like them, I don't expose them to all and sundry because they can be a bit off-putting. This is one of the more accessible albums, and my personal favorite track.

"The Weeping Chandelier," performed by the Tiger Lillies with the Kronos Quartet.

I have a drawing in this show in Edinburgh. It opens next week and looks like it will be an amazing collection of work. #edwardgorey www.instagram.com/phantasmagoreyshow/

@carolski oh and finally the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth Port, MA, USA.

Was his residence for decades and parts of it have been kept somewhat like it was when he lived there.

I was really fortunate to have visited it right after it was opened and before they had "museum-ified" it, so it was REALLY like he was still living there and had just stepped out of the room for a moment.

I just saw discussion of Edward Gorey on here, and it made me think that some of you might enjoy pictures of this little Doubtful Guest that I made a few years ago. #NeedleFelting #EdwardGorey

Out getting my #EdwardGorey #tattoo. He's drawing it up now, we are going to change the lettering up, but I'll have the picture maybe lightened a bit. It's pretty dark for a tattoo if we did it directly.

A new month and a new Monday! Time to look at the #grickledoodle requests that Julián and I managed to do during our latest LIVE drawing session! We begin with a warmup of some mustachioed men and cats (ala Gorey). #cats #edwardgorey #cartoon #art #drawing #funny

“Before the museum took over, Gorey’s bedroom was filled with modern plush toys, and the barn behind the twelve-room house now contains boxes of hundred-year-old corncob and peach-pit dolls. But, as few people outside of collectors know, Gorey did not just acquire toys; he also made them.”
