The Darkly Marvelous Works of Edward Gorey

Ever in search of all that is interesting and new, I've stumbled upon the works of the late writer/artist Edward Gorey. His works are visually interesting and darkly beautiful. After looking through his body of work, I can see how it could have influenced Tim Burton and definitely the look of all things Lemony Snickett. Gorey was also inspiration for the Mark Romanek directed video "The Perfect Drug," which is definitely in my list of preferred music videos. Anyway, if you're tastes are oriented toward the darker end of the artistic spectrum, I highly suggest you check out his work.
