Cthulhu Birthday Card Design!

Crocheted Cthulhu!

My very talented friend, Hoi, only went and made this awesome version of my Cthulhu! You may remember that a while ago, she also make a crocheted version of my Earl Grey Tea Bear. Words cannot describe how happy this l'il fellow makes me! :P

Get The Innsmouth Look!

I found this kicking about in a forgotten folder on my computer...

Lovecraft Stickers!

Coming soon to my shop!

Cosmic Horror Activity book!

My new activity book arrived yesterday and it's looking kind of cool! The book is 28 pages, with greyscale throughout and a full-colour cover! It'll be available at the Bristol Comic Con and MCM Expo in May!

Cosmic Fun!

I've finally finished my Lovecraft small press comic! It will be available at the Bristol Comic Con in May as well as MCM and LFCC too. It's 28 pages with a colour cover and grayscale innards. I hope it appeals to all fans of Lovecraft and maybe even non-Lovecraft fans too!

From Beyond!

I've finally been able to make some progress on the new small press book I'm hoping to get done for cons coming up this May. It's going to be a H.P Lovecraft colouring and activity book! I'm having a whale of a time drawing it and I'll hopefully have it finished soon. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at one of the pages!

Cthulhu's Lullaby!

I've managed to get more than 10 minutes to myself so I thought I'd work on my Lovecraft comic that I'm desperately hoping to get finished for May. I coloured up this page and thought it might make a cool little print to go with the comic when it's done.

The Colour Out Of Space colouring page!

One of new comics/activity books that will be out for next year's cons is a as-of-yet-untitled book based on H.P Lovecraft and his works. Above is the kind of thing you can expect to see in the book! I'll post a few more pages as and when they're done; keep an eye out in 2012 for the finished article! :P

Awesome New Toy!

I'm a huge book fan, but have more than my little house can hold. Most of my precious tomes are up in the loft and I will admit to hanging onto stuff I don't really need more often than not! I made the decision to buy a Kindle so I can continue to buy graphic novels, art books and kid's books but get novels electronically. I have to say, it's bloody brilliant; I've already got over 100 books on it and you get can tons of free books for it. There's a lot of stuff that's very cheap, mainly older sci-fi and fantasy but that suits me fine! Here's a look at my new toy:

Brains Etc. looks pretty good on the Kindle, which bodes well for the digital version being published soon! It's quite a flexible little gadget and I can't stop playing with it. Of course, it's easier to spend more money on books because they download straight away. But it's worth it! Here's a look at some of the books I'm reading at the moment:

I love the Conan film with Arnie and even though I'm not huge into fantasy, this is pretty good. I sometimes find fantasy a bit hard going but pulp master Robert E. Howard makes for an enjoyable sword and sorcery romp!

Another classic series by Robert E. Howard, Solomon Kane is a quieter hero than Conan but the adventures he get into are dark and creepy and I like the pacing. Good pulpy action and very atmospheric.

I've just discovered this guy and don't know how I didn't know about him, being a big Lovecraft fan. I'm already enjoying his work and I've only read two stories so far; one about a sorcerer who kills and dismembers his brother (who's also a wizard) only to have the limbs come back, re-form and kill him. This is looking good already!



I just read this for the first time and WOW. What an amazing book. Two men on holiday discover a strange pit and the remnants of a house in Ireland and soon find a journal that belonged to a recluse who used to live in the house. His story is disturbing and almost unbelievable - the house seems to sit on a gateway between dimensions and the man is soon driven mad by attacks from strange pig creatures, time and space start to meld together and no-one else seem to experience quite what he does. Brilliant sci-fi/horror that kept me reading because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen! There's an amazing few chapters where the man experiences time speeding up to where minutes become thousands of years and the universe ends that just left me in awe. Awesome work from William Hope Hodgeson and I can't wait to read more of his stories.

What I love about the Kindle is that all of the above were either available for free or entire collections of the authors work where under £3.00. Money well spent I think. Time to get my sci-fi on! :P

Miskatonic University Class Pictures!

In between drawing trains for the kid's book I'm working on, I've been trying to squeeze in my own pictures. Hopefully in a couple of weeks, the book will be done and I can purge all the head-cheese I've had building up!

If people haven't already guessed, I'm quite obsessed with the work of H.P Lovecraft and have drawn several pics based on his work. I'm thinking of making a zine related to this so keep an eye out! I doodled a couple more pictures and coloured them but then thought, given that they're supposed to be old photos, would attempt to use textures and such. Thanks to my talented beau who is a Photoshop whiz, here are some attempts at Photoshop fiddling!

Now that I vaguely know what I'm doing, expect more adventures in texture!

Know Your Lovecraft!

In keeping with my current Lovecraft obsession, here's a handy guide to gods, people and places. Part two coming soon! Also available as a spiffing print in my shop.

Cthulhu Lives!

Prove it to everyone with this rad tattoo design! :P

The Shadow Over Innsmouth

Another Lovecraft-inspired illustration. I'm having a lot of fun with these and intend to do more as a break from all the other work I've been doing. Expect more fish-gods and other weird deities here soon! :P

Cthulhu!

More Lovecraft goodness!

Dagon!

Here's my interpretation of one of my favourite H.P Lovecraft deities; Dagon! I've been reading a lot of Lovecraft lately and happened upon a passage about the non-Lovecraftian god of the same name in a book I'm reading called The Secret History of the World. So inspired I was to draw my own version of Dagon and his fishy-froggy minions! I've got a bit on an obsession with drawing big-lipped, bug-eyed fish creatures at the moment which seems to fit the whole "Innsmouth Look" pretty well. I may have a go at the big daddy himself, Cthulhu, but we'll see...!
