the gorey detales

last year i was invited by my friend sylvia luna to be a part of

the gorey detales

inspired by edward gorey's "the gashlycrumb tinies"

26 artist, one for each letter of the alphabet

where given the assignment to create a macabre piece of art

with a character, and a twisted yet humorous rhyme

the collection has been on tour and featured in somerset studio

and will be displayed at the stamp act until halloween

i was given the letter "L"

"Lolita's thirst rose her from the crypt

thoughts of piercing the hemophiliacs lip "

my canvas was made of several layers of

cardboard, old newspaper and book pages

wallpaper, plaster, crackle paste and paint

the photo was found in an old scrap book i bought

at an antique show

i scrapped out a mirror and added the photo from behind

and set the frame into the canvas

i enjoyed working on this project and to be in the company of some excellent artists
