Very Gorey-esque!

aaaaaaaand there is this weird kid who always shows up in some of my classes. he draws the vaginas of various mammals all over everything. folders, jeans, shoes, textbooks, backpacks, whatever. brilliant beautiful mammal vaginas. like on walrus's and shit. i want that.

he also wears a tshirt he made himself. he took a white shirt and drew triangles. all over it. the shirt is completely covered in triangles of every size draw with a sharpie. i need him to have a triangle shirt.

and praying mantis's. because there arent enough "cute" praying mantis things about. its all ladybugs and butterflies and owls and shit. i think i want a comic strip of sorts... 3 boxes. beggining middle end. starts with 2 praying mantis heart bubbles and shit. then freaky mantis doing its. and ends with dinner . bloody violent gorey sexy praying mantis dinner. if youre witty you can think of some a caption. perhaps something about praying before dinner or something or sex before dinner. i dont know. someone should be clever with words.

and i have an ant trail tattoo on my wrist. i want ant trail tshirts. with some clever cynical political/social statement.

oh and before i stopped getting tattoos i was going to get to like fleshwounds with maggots in them tattoo'd around my tits. i think i want one of those shirts that are like the insides of the body, skeleton, organs, maybe some muscles... but i want maggots in there. like zombie anatomy.

Some from Edward Gorey-

To his club-footed child said Lord Stipple,
As he poured his post-prandial tipple:
"Your mother's behaviour
Gave pain to Our Saviour
And that's why He made you a cripple."

An incautious woman called Venn
Was seen with the wrong sort of men;
She vanished one day
But the folloing May
Her legs were retrieved from a fen.


and this one should evoke all manner of visceral response in some, my personal favorite:


A headstrong young lady of Ealing
Threw her two-year-old child at the ceiling;
When quizzed why she did
She replied: "To get rid
Of a strange overpowering feeling."

Excellent! Interesting, the combination of rotoscoping with the stark Edward Gorey-esque animation. Definitely *dark.

Each night father fills me with dread
When he sits on the foot of my bed;
I don't mind that he speaks
In gibbers and squeaks
But for seventeen years he's been dead.


An incautious woman called Venn
Was seen with the wrong sort of men;
She vanished one day
But the folloing May
Her legs were retrieved from a fen.

-Edward Gorey

I like this kid's reading. Yes, it's flat and rushed, but that's what real kids sound like when they read aloud. It makes me happy to know that a little kid 'gets' Edward Gorey, and cares to take the initiative and make this viddy. My hat is off to you little dude.

yeah, flat reading, but Gorey commands respect --->

were talkin' cinema here, and I must agree with lucky, best of the 3-ooooh, and I just saw Planet Terror-Yay for that gal with the gunleg-real goopy-gorey, B-flick a roo- B-zombie action, and that tramp from the black-eyed peas gets her innards et, after she's roadkill....ewwww!

Edward Gorey's girlfriend......ex-girlfriend.....

Hooray for Edward Gorey. When I was a kid I read John Bellairs novels illustrated by Edward Gorey, and still love his art. Those novels used to scare the stuffing out of me, and as it turns out they have a lot of Lovecraftian horrors in them- no wonder I got so scared.

Oh wow...this is the best recent Simpsons bit I've seen in some time. Loved the Twelve Monkeys music and the Gorey-esque animation.

looks like edward gorey...
