Gorey-inspired project: A is for Alice – Emila Yusof (Emilatopia)

I recently discovered The Gashlycrumb Tinies: A Very Gorey Alphabet Book at BrainPickings website written by Maria Popova and was amazed by the illustration style. The storyline is quite dark but I love the illustrations. It is so inspiring as I am currently into lines drawing.

Few days back I decided to come up with my own version of A to Z Gorey-inspired illustrations based on classic tales. Please take note that my illustrations are gorey dark.

Here is A. I will post other alphabets soon.

Saya dah tengok ilustrasi Gorey. Cantik line art dia. Saya pun rasa teruja nak cuba teknik tu dengan lebih memdalam…. tapi itu lah, ABCD dia agak mengerikanlah…….
