From the swap: "If you have been a follower of Masterpiece Mystery Theater, you may be familiar with the work of Edward Gorey from the opening credits there of the swooning lady, the tombstone, etc. He is a favorite darkly humorous illustrator of mine. I invite you to join me in attempting to create Edward Gorey type illustrations, hand drawn in any medium of your choice. Limit your color palette to black and white and one other color. There are many books of his illustrations available. A favorite of mine is Amphigory Also. Websites you might like to visit are www.edwardgoreyhouse.org or www.goreyography.com. There are many others as well."
