My parents gave me a book of The Gashlycrumb Tinies when I was five (trying to tell me to behave?) and I've been a fan ever since. I taught myself pen shading by copying his backgrounds.Keith and Ayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239675657509245057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582997874621015158.post-62420188143138786392010-09-24T23:16:29.611-04:002010-09-24T23:16:29.611-04:00I just recently visited the Edward Gorey House, to...I just recently visited the Edward Gorey House, too. Although it really is just a mere glimpse into the man's life, it was great to see all that was on display. Our docent told us that Gorey loved to watch TV shows like Golden Girls, Petticoat Junction, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (cool!) while he sewed his stuffed animals. He used to fill his hand-sewn figures with conventional rice, but hated going to the kitchen during the commercials, so he switched to Uncle Ben's which he could keep nearby and was a lot neater since it came in a box (that's what our docent said!). The EGH is definitely worth visiting, and the main exhibit changes once a year (I believe). And Ombledroom is worth seeing in person too. I've never seen a cat that large!Lillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08140240454325139667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582997874621015158.post-9963659007492491992010-09-24T19:07:35.765-04:002010-09-24T19:07:35.765-04:00In 2003 I went to the Edward Gorey house when it w...In 2003 I went to the Edward Gorey house when it was still a bit more 'his house' than a museum, and I made the following video of it:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78zZQjVDTOw<br /><br />You all might enjoy watching it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429402317688510697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582997874621015158.post-696882466064846212010-09-09T21:19:26.023-04:002010-09-09T21:19:26.023-04:00Oh I just love this!
