Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 I just went to this exhibition on Sunday. http://www.omart.org/exhibitions/elegant-enigmas-art-edward I bought my first Gorey book in 1977 when i was 8, and I've been a fan ever since. So this exhibition was a real treat for me. His work makes me love paper and print again, and reminds me that there are some things that just dont translate over an iPad. His pop-up books are so cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted October 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 This one is probably my favorite, and has been for awhile. I found out yesterday that it was first published in my home city, Indianapolis, which surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Coma Larkin Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yup, big fan. A casual bud of mine is a huge collector and has a bunch of original Gorey drawings he bought for very much lots of $$$ in NYC. VERY cool to see them up close and original.

VERY cool to see them up close and original.If I wasn't already a gear collector, I probably would be collecting Gorey first editions.As it is, I want to buy this someday. Probably sooner than later since the prices are only climbing every year.http://www.amazon.com/Dwindling-Party-Pop-Up-Random-House/dp/0394851293 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pop-up books are so cool I went to that same exhibit about a month ago. I liked!csb: I have an EG mug that I found at a thrift store some years ago. It's my favorite mug, needless to say.
