Edward Gorey

I am a fan of Edward Gorey who, for those not familiar with the name, is the artist featured at the beginning of Mystery! on PBS. He is well known for his darkly humorous black & white illustrations as well as his penchant for cats (of which he also drew quite a few).

I stumbled across this photo of him online the other day. I honestly don't know that much about his personal life, but thought this photo was a wonderful glimpse into the life of this creative man.

Jake & Elwood



I really haven't decided if they're on a "mission from God" or not, but they would definitely not object to the 5 fried chickens if offered! Introducing the newest additions to our family... Jake & Elwood! They are litter-mates that we adopted back in late January. They are now about 4 1/2 months old and full of mischief.
