Gorey-ology
(above – The PBS Mystery intro, by Edward Gorey)
Edward Gorey (Wikipedia) is still inspiring wonderful, creepy creations, six years after his death. I think there are few pleasures in life equal to curling up by a window with a big anthology of Gorey stories and a cup of Earl Grey, and usually this leads to a long night of drawing frantic wallpaper patterns with Pigma pens in a fit of emulation.
Here’s a roundup of my favourite student films inspired by Gorey’s faux-Edwardian devilish penwork.
