Inspired By Edward Gorey, I Created My Own Grim Version Of The Alphabet (26 Pics)
Growing up I've always been a fan of the macabre and darker aspects of art and literature. Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies was that perfect blend of creepy content with a playful style that made it easy to absorb while looking at unfortunate accidents. I wanted to pay tribute to Edward Gorey and create my own ABC's of demise.
I also wanted to share this creation with my fans and released it through my clothing brand, Any Means Necessary, which has been an extension of my art through prints, books, and clothing and has allowed us to raise awareness on mental health through dark art through my 2016 and 2018 series, Inktober Illness.
You can grab the book here.

Load More Replies...I've been an artist as far back as I can remember, from being 5 years old drawing dinosaurs, to my teenage years drawing horror creatures. I started out with just pencils at first and then ventured into the world of acrylics and oils before I found my comfort in watercolor and digital illustration.
Graphic novel, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I think you'd like it.

when you try to watch a video remotely related to children's cartoons on youtube
“Everything will be okay” “Stay positive” “Don’t give up” “Nothing is impossible”
I think the darkness is intriguing. I've always rooted for the villains and am always excited to see new creature designs as they always tend to be more interesting than the protagonists in films and comics.
Leprosy (Hansen's disease) doesn't actually make body parts fall off. People with leprosy lose sensations, and their fingers, toes, etc. are often nibbled off by rats. I'm letting you know in case you want this alphabet book to be part of your child's educational program.
Anyone else searching for his first leter and thinking about dying this way?:D
The most challenging part of the creative process is taking the initial concept that I see in my mind and trying to translate it as closely as possible onto the medium I create it in. Sometimes it works, and other times it's a train wreck that if I'm lucky ends up coming out better than I had seen in my mind.
Why isn't this used by kindergarten teachers? i just cant put my finger on it
Nah they do use it on the special kids that is why there are so many murders

I just love creating. Taking a blank canvas and conjuring up something from nothing. It's the closest thing to being a wizard, and much like a wizard, I can wear pajamas all day while creating.
I just finished up my first-ever 78-card tarot deck that I successfully raised almost 200k for on Kickstarter, I'm working on a new mental illness series, as well as my first-ever comic book that will one day come out. Hopefully soon. So, stay tuned!
yup, i think it waved to me as it went out the door...

Load More Replies...Yep! If you go high enough or go low enough on earth or in space, there is a slight possiblity you may implode :D

Terrific art. The captions need polishing, though. Nevertheless, this can be turned into propfit and maybe even a little bit of fame.
Yeah, it's a pretty common problem. Always have someone else go over your math before playing with uranium.
Hemorrhaging is when someone bleeds out of a part of their body when a blood vessel has been ruptured. A bit like a womans period, but deadlier :D

Gorey was much better, more subtle and had a great deal more wit. This was a bad copy.
Load More Replies...This is incredible! Love the artist's style and the whole interpretation.
P is for Patricia who is Pursuing ways to get these Petrifying Points out of her Pate.
I like these but it bothers me that they are not in alphabetical order!
Is anyone else reminded of Garbage Pail Kids? Both are awesome! I love this artist!!
