Born 1925 Chicago.
Some clasify Gorey as a writer who drew, and others as an artist who wrote. He was a master of pen and ink illustrations and used his ironic and offbeat humour to gain fans all across the world. Using a small colour palette and simple illustrations he managed to communicate alot of information to the reader, this enabled him to create many wordless books using only his illustrations to talk to the reader.

This has interested me greatly because I have tried to use the images in my book to communicate the information to the reader, using as few words as possible.
