I went to the The Boston Athenæum which has an Edward Gorey Exhibit on display through June 4, 2011.
The exhibit includes pen and ink illustrations, sketches, unpublished drawings, and ephemera. Here are some of my favorites:
-

-
- Edward Gorey skeleton children
-

-
- Edward Gorey Print

- Tea Party Parrot
-
- Edward Gorey desolate print

-
- Letter to Edward Gorey’s Mother
-
- Letter to Edward Gorey’s Mother

I remember my Mom used to let me stay up long enough to watch the intro to Mystery! on PBS.

Hi Amy, thanks for sharing Gorey art work with us. I know you have posted photos of his art before. Where did you see his work before this exhibit? Do you own any of his work? Did he have any influence on your art? Melody
