Edward Gorey #14
Who doesn’t love to get a postcard in the mail? Sending these Edward Gorey cards from the 2011 Postcard calendar has been a lot of fun. Behold postcard #14!

Read MoreMagazine with Mail Art Cover
Wandering the local Barnes and Noble last weekend, I found this issue of Esopus magazine which I had never heard of before. Intrigued by the stamp/envelope collage cover and after a quick perusal inside the magazine, I paid the $14 price. (Magazine Cover) The article that the cover art refers to was an interesting piece…

The Year of the Edward Gorey Postcards continues. This one is going to my niece who is turning Sweet 16 on Wednesday. I don’t believe she’s a fan, but who cannot be enchanted by this image? It’s a mystery to me what’s going on, as often is with Mr. Gorey’s illustrations. I think that is…
