No Overlooked Manga Festival this week. I've been enjoying the newest show at the Cartoon Art Museum, Edward Gorey's Dracula, featuring art and memorabilia from the Gorey-designed 1970s stage production of Dracula.

The article ends on an even more inspiring note:



I'll leave it to someone else to draw that one.

I thought the meeting panel best captured Gorey's style, but they're all awesome.

You should do more of these. Maybe illustrate Drunk Star Trek night? /shameless begging

That's fantastic! I was also quite struck by the idea of Gorey designing Gilbert & Sullivan sets/productions...

Dr. McCoy commented that he was a doctor, and not of some other profession unrelated to medicine.
