IF - Alphabet: A is for Amy who fell down the stairs by Edward Gorey


Hi guys...sorry been missing in action. It's been quite hectic at the homefront lately. I've missed you guys :) I am a huge fan of Edward Gorey and so this is a little rendition of Edward Gorey's famous Alphabet Book: The Gashlycrumb Tinies. Cheers!

Heyyy! Welcome back!
:D
I love your take on the Gashleycrumb tinies. You know I thought Gorey was dead for the longest time (before he actually was, I mean) Somehow, I think he would have enjoyed that...

I thought of Gorey too when I saw the theme. :) I had actually done a similar Gorey-inspired alphabet many years ago in a sketch book... I should find it.

Hi, Michelle! Glad you're back!!! :)
Great illustration, of course!

Would it be wrong to say that I enjoy this more than Edward Gorey? It probably is wrong, but too late I already said it.
