- Welcome to Part 3 of My Gashlycrumb Diaries, in which I draw (as much as I can) like Edward Gorey to create a background for my October videos. I like how it turned out - enjoy!

This is great! Never heard of Edward Gorey before. Now I love his art.
I am super glad to have introduced you to him. He's pretty wonderful. :)
Your work is awesome! Talk about hairspray - I graduated high school in 1969! I had a fantastic flip.
Whoa - hairspray in 1969. Skirts lengths in 1969 (I couldn't have handled that)! Thanks for watching! :)
I Think it was from "Faris Bullers Day Off" where the school secretary keeps pulling pencils from her hair! Always a plentiful stash hidden!
Great movie!! ❤️
I first knew Edward Gorey from his illustrations for the TV show “Mystery!” on PBS. I remember the gravestone with the winking skull, the ballroom, the croquet player & the woman on the building.
Oh yes, the famous fainting lady with the handkerchief!
The building that the fainting woman was on was from one of Edward Gorey’s books, The West Wing. There’s also a play called Gorey Stories, the actors recite some limericks from The Listing Attic, & act out some of Edward Gorey’s stories like The Hapless Child, The Curious Sofa, The Gilded Bat & The Blue Aspic, & sing the words to some of his other stories like The Wuggly Ump, The Insect God & The Gashlycrumb Tinies.
I graduated 93 so we are close! Love the micron work, good job! Excited to see!
Thank you so much - lots and lots and lots and lots of lines seems to be his secret. :)
Fantastic! Love it!
Thanks!
You are very good at what you do if it means anything I like it
It means very much. Thank you!!!
I love graphite transfer paper sooooooo much! 🤗🤗
It makes things so much easier!!! 🙂
@@rachealgetscreative so true! I use it a lot on certain projects! 🤗🤗
He's been one of my favorite artists since I was a wee one and loved watching this! I'm a new subscriber, Rachel and we're likely close in age ;) I love the way you explain things, have fun and be yourself! The pencil in your hair reminded me of one of the book characters, Edward did art illuminations for. Myra Elles, the librarian in the Jonny Dixon series by John Bellairs.
Wow, you are a more knowledgeable Gorey fan than I am. I"m not as familiar with the art he did for others' work. If you are near 51, we are of an age. I say "awesome" a lot in a recent video; child of the 1980s. Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing! ❤
I know I still need to catch up on some of your videos, and I'm trying to watch them chronologically, but I could NOT wait for Goreytober! Your drawing came out so good! He's got such a unique style and you nailed it! I am so excited to see the rest!
Thanks for the kind comment! :) And go at whatever pace you wish - but it is spooky season and Gorey is the best kind of spooky. Random question - do you and J dress up for Halloween?
@@rachealgetscreative We always want to, but never quite get around to doing much! Too busy hosting horror movie viewing parties. 😁 Although we did do comic con for a while, so we did get some extra costuming in for a few years!
@@LittleGiantCrafts Hosting movie nights are cool. I want to see Smile.
I believe Edward would approve, especially of your cat joining in your art making (he had several cats who crawled over his workspace). Since you asked, yes - he used India ink with dip pens with very fine nibs - his favorite were Gillott Tit Quill nibs, which are very delicate, or C. Howard Hunt 104s (until they stopped production).
I think you did a lovely tribute! Should you ever visit Cape Cod, visit his home, which is open as a museum most of the year. They have a sampling of his pens and nibs on display. His actual studio is upstairs, and not on the tour, but you can find pictures of it.
What wonderful information! Thank you! I knew he was a cat lover (and bug lover, etc.) and his house is definitely on my list to visit should I ever travel to Cape Cod. You seem like a big fan of his so I really appreciate your approval of my Gorey project. :)🦇
@@rachealgetscreative I'm a big fan of his work, and have a modest collection. I live about 15 minutes or so from The Gorey House Museum and am a Member. Every year, they dress the home with new exhibits -- this year, it's his "moveable" books (e.g., The Tunnel Calamity and The Dwindling Party are heavily featured, as are The Dripping Faucet and his tiny books collection).
And I want to repeat, I loved your video and think he'd get a kick out how you're leveraging your background (he was a constant tinkerer).
@@kenthomas1109 I love it. Thank you so much! Goreytober was a whole series I did a couple of years ago. If you get to it, I would love to know what you think of the stories, videos I made for each child. Twenty-six videos obviously, plus a trailer. It’s a fun October activity. 🎃
@@rachealgetscreativeI will definitely check then out! Have a great one.
@@kenthomas1109 You, too!
Very meticulous! I love the wallpaper and the swans on the window frame. The cross-hatching rocks.
Your hands are not hairy enough for honorary Yeti membership. Please accept our apologies.
Nice work!
I guess that YLHR (Yeti Laser Hair Removal) is paying off. :) Thank you! I am quite pleased with the overall look and the swans in particular.
Amazing drawing and hairdressing skills hahaha
Thanks! I knew something good would come of not cutting my hair for over a year. :)
Well done! Rockin those Microns, Racheal! 👏🤩
I love ink work, and picked up a set of Rapidograph technical pens about 24 years ago. One of my favorite art tools!
Microns! It was fun. I had to buy another set before I started the curtain. Your technical pencils sound like a good, long-term purchase. Would love to see your work! :)
I love Edward Gorey. This is wonderful 🖤
Thank you so much!
wonderful work. cross hatching gloomy illustrations is so difficult
Thank you! Yes, the gloom does add to the layers, but Darkness must be achieved! :)
Hilarious. Love it. 😂❤
Thanks!!
🐒🖐🤚🏼😆😀😃
Thanks!!
