Love illustrator
Edward Gorey? Well, so do I! So when my friend Jaye of
Thirteenth Story suggested we do a Gorey-inspired
ATC swap, I immediately started sketching. I love some of the ways Gorey draws women in various period clothing and also his book "
The Doubtful Guest," which features an intrusive creature known as "it," so I knew I wanted to include similar characters in my drawing, as well as some interesting text (like in "
The Glorious Nosebleed"):
As you can see below, Jaye really went all out with the
crosshatching (which I wussed out on) so I told her we'd have to do another round! She agreed:
I love what she came up with for my ATC and Apollo does too (a new
Thirteenth Story fan is born!). Thanks again Jaye!

Hahahaha! That Apollo pic rocks my world.
I also love The Doubtful Guest, and I love my new ATC from you.
Thanks, Lucie. I have started on the next one tonight. :)
