"I Like the Theatre, but Never Come Late..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Educate yourselves.

This man--I worship this man. I read all three of John Bellairs' series when I was little, despite the fact that they gave me nightmares, purely for his illustrations and the fact that I had a crush on Johnny. Is brilliant man. His own books, too, are magnificent, and his friends called him Ted. Like Neddy Burne-Jones, but not! I love nicknaming Edward. ^_^; Ridiculous me.

--At any rate. GOREY = GENIUS. Go ye and read.

...He should have illustrated Ogden Nash. That would have made my life complete.

...And the rocks with eyes in The Dreadful Summons? Are cuter than turtles. Bwah.

And he also illustrated Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats! *considers using Bucky/Bustopher/Bungle icon, but decides to not scare Soujin away from the internet on her first day back, so here's Etcetera, who was not illustrated by Edward Gorey, but that's okay*

Yes! He did! I knew there was some feat of his I'd forgotten-- (THANK YOU)-- eeee. Etcetera has the most wonderful scrunched nose ever, you know.

*gasp* Forgetteth not the cats! *is all about the faux-Shakespearean today, apparently* (You're welcome. *saves B/B/B for another time, bwaha*) I love Etcetera. She's so happy and crazy and scrunchy.

I crave thy pardon! I shall not forget again! *not alone, yay* (...*dies woefully*) She iiiiiiis.

[bewareofitalics]

Take care thou dost not! (...*revives?*) And she looks kinda like my cousin, which is cool. *g*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I shall not, I swear't! (*awakens! and eees over your icon!*) OOOh. Yes. *fangirls your cousin*

[bewareofitalics]

Ah, then I shall forgive thee. (Yay, live Soujin! And yay, Little Princess!)

I cannot tell thee how glad I am, ay! (^_^ Yes! And I used the wrong Secret Garden icon, oops. Here we go. Tasha Tudor!)

[bewareofitalics]

And to see thy gladness doth make me glad indeed! (*giggles* I love Tasha Tudor. She and John R. Neill are my favorite illustrators. Speaking of which, Neill icon!)

Oh, thou'rt too good to me! I rejoice in thee, Lady. (Yessss. She's wonderful, he's wonderful, and then there's Edward Gorey. *iconlove!*)

[bewareofitalics]

As do I in thee! (I feel like there's some other illustrator I'm forgetting to show love for... ah well. *theirloveissofloppy!*)
