Thanks. I just poked Figbash and was told I'm sexually incompetent.

It's not that I deny it per se, it's just unfortunate when a long nosed critter on a unicycle knows it as well...

Speaking of Gorey, there's a Gorey documentary in the works slated for release this fall. Also, here's a site with a 360 degree tour of his home studio before he died. And here's some other Gorey-related sites:

The Tunnel. Fuckery. Panic, unpleasant discoveries, and a whole bunch of other crap I can do without. But it's Gorey. So what the hell did I expect?h

I like Gorey, but he's a bit of a one-trick pony, isn't he? I mean, it's not like I couldn't make my own Gorey Tarot (minus the art) in half an hour...

The Cadaver Inverted: Leap Year, drudgery, soil, fainting spells, aphelion, smallpox-infected blankets, glacial, neediness, avulsions, bed straps, chalkboards, fingernail clippings, mome raths, circus midgets.

The Pliers: Easter Sunday, vacuolate tentacles, candle stubs, dissociative disorder, cocaine nosejobs, ulcerous, gangrene, pension plan, shattered mirrors, rape porngraphy, preliminary hearings, mucosity, Father's hands.

The Sketchbook: The dead of winter, deadbeat, dead center, dead end, deadfall, Deadhead, dead heat, dead hyperlinks, dead letter, deadline, deadlock, deadly nightshade, deadpan, dead puppies, dead quiet, dead reckoning, dead skin, deadweight, deadwood, dead dead dead.

yes, I agree - but its such a cute trick
 
 
Traz
11:51 / 10.06.02
Agreed.

And I have to concede that there is something amazing at work when such cold, bitter, claustrophobic artwork makes so many people, myself included, feel all warm and tingly inside.
