Who doesn't love the writer/illustrator Edward Gorey ??
My brother had a Gashlycrumb Tinies poster when I was younger and you could admire it all day long. It was artistic yet clever, macabre yet childish. Just look at poor little Basil. Awww. Bear assaults are too cute!!!
A few years ago I found a collection of Gorey's illustrated work online, in paperback, and in large print format.

This poster book contains over 30 illustrations spanning work from Gorey's own books, as well as cover art and page illustrations which Gorey did for other author's works, including those of TS Eliot & HG Wells.

So at about 50 cents per poster, this is a super cheap way to incorporate some fantastic art prints in your home. And
the fantastical, gothic style of Gorey's illustrations translates well
for children's rooms AND adult's rooms. Love it.
I matted and framed several Gorey Posters for my house, and gifted some for friends, and I still have several loose prints at home, waiting for framing/mounting/decoupaging/???
So fantastic!
Nothing beats "original" artwork in
your home, but for those of us who can't afford it, this is a unique
alternative to buying your Wall Art from TJMaxx. :)
Do you know of any other large format Poster Books? I could always use some more. :)

ReplyDeleteand protect them by dropping them into the pond").
