Speak of the devil on your blog, and he appears - as a Google Doodle! Cult favorite illustrator and writer Edward Gorey is the most recent Google Doodle as today would have been his 88th birthday - he was born on February 22nd, 1925. Fun fact: Gorey only attended art school for one semester, leaving the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1943. The Washington Post has a fun tribute to Gorey and his "playful macabre" up on their Comic Riffs blog, along with links to their ten favorite Google Doodles.
I didn't realize you had two blogs! Love Edward Gorey's art. I didn't know you loved vintage stuff so much. Your air of mystery persists...
