I just went to Elephant house today and got my cards. The curator was so happy to see that I had added to my Edward Gorey half sleeve with the addition of the Doubtful Guest that he took a ton of photos of it. These are adorable and you have great talent and wit. I hope you sell a lot! :)
Happy Holidays!

That is so cool about the curator taking photos of your ink! It sounds cool. If I were to ever get a tattoo, I'd want something Gorey.

I appreciate the comments and the encouragement.

I live on Cape Cod and am a frequent visitor. I really should post the photos I have taken over the years. I would love to become a docent and I know I am very knowledgeable about his work and of him in general, but I don't think they are looking currently. They do have a twitter account and facebook page incase you didn't know.

Also, the current (single) Gorey cat that lives there is roughly the size of a sherman tank. He greeted me with disdain, complained that he had not been fed yet and endured my affection in the form of ear/head scratches with a pretentious smugness. It made my day.

I would love to live as close as you do to the Elephant House. And you do sound knowledgeable....if your brain wasn't exploding, I'd love to pick it for info. :) I did not know about the twitter or facebook page. Thanks so much for cluing me in.

I saw a link to your myspace and saw your tattoos. I swooned, I swear it!

The cat would have made my day as well. I truly enjoy the way you write.

*blush!* The cat has now come in second for making my day! haha!
I don't update the old LJ as often these days, but I do check the friends list frequently. Sadly, most of my friends are updating as much as I do! :X But, I have started to keep a blog up over on wordpress that I update often. If you care to read over there, I would be honored.
