Cthulhu Day
July 28th, 2010
On a whim, I decided to see how many different images of Cthulhu I could find in 30 minutes.
I guess I mixed my stupid pills in with my vitamins this morning. Thirty minutes? I was overwhelmed in five, my mind turned to jelly just as if facing the old booger himself. (I note that my spellcheck accepts ‘booger’ and ‘Cthulhu’, but not ‘spellcheck’.)
And despite the great variety and talent on display, I am comforted that my own version of Koot-loo is….different. You may not like it, but I think you’ll agree.
Anyway, here are the results. All the art is property of the original artists,but there’s no way I am going to track down every single name. If anyone objects, let me know and I will take your picture down, promise.

great collection. i wonder whether you stumbled accross tor.com’s “lovecraft meme” post as well – there are quite a number of interesting cthulhu-related pieces as well, you should probably check it out if you haven’t done so already. http://www.tor.com/blogs/2009/12/lovecraft-art-meme
all the best,

Holy cow, the tor.com thing especially has a ton of amazing work in the comments section.

This is completely unrelated, but wanted to let you know that the novelization of THE MYSTERIES OF MYRA is now available. Over 200 production photos and a great forward by Mr. Stedman. Can either check at the Serial Squadron front page or at my pulp reader link.

If you have a moment, please take a look at my friend Jack’s gallery. His work is not all Lovecraftian, but he is a fan and certain themes seem to creep from the deeps and into his work.

Nice style — I think he could do some bang-up Lovecraftian stuff if he wanted too. Loved the portraits of, er, the normal people. Ask him if he wants to do a fill in section of a comic book lol
