A whole bunch of stuff!
Wow... it's been a while since my last entry!
MythosCon (a Lovecraft convention in Arizona last January) was amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone with strong interests in Lovecraft. It was attended almost entirely by professionals (writers, artists, film makers, publishers, etc), some say it was more like a conference because of this. Big names were everywhere, and everyone was extremely approachable and friendly. I still plan to make a video of the art show.
I've been interviewed for the Lovecraftian 'zine Cyäegha in the spring '11 number 4.
I've also been interviewed for the Slovakian website "Necrosphere", the interview is available in English and Slovak Though I don't consider myself a huge fan of technology, being able to connect with people all over the world has become a very welcome and pleasant surprise.
Easter is just around the corner, and we all need to load up on anti-oxidants, especially the non-euclidean kind. So, I am taking pre-orders on dark chocolate Cthulhus. 8-1/4" high, 3/8" thick. It's the same design as the resin statues, just tastier and not as good for fighting cavities:
Last but not least, a new cover painting for "Dissecting Cthulhu" a collection of essays edited by S.T. Joshi and published by Miskatonic River Press
I wish to thank Donovan Loucks for providing me with a great source image, it was refreshing to have a new view of reference. Up till now there have been very few images artists have had to work with, and those were fairly over-exposed. This makes for a challenge because Lovecraft has unusual facial anatomy (the chin), it can be hard to guess what is accurate. Actually, there are other emerging photos, but the problem is they are so unlike the few vies we're used to that they hardly read like him and might not work well as a recognizable image for a cover.
Alright, until next time!

It's April 1, I was almost positive you couldn't be that crazy but I had to click to be sure.
But yeah, I would have bought one.

Drat! I would have bought one too! My kids would have eaten it up, literally and figuratively.

Awwww, I totally want a chocolate Cthulhu! I bet you could make reasonable return on them - you should do it for real!

Damn you! My immediate thought was "Screw the Easter Bunny and his chocolate progeny! I want one of THESE in my basket!"
Now I may have to make one myself. Hrmph.

Great idea with the choc cthulhu...can we expect a fruit cake cthulhu to come out around christmas? how about a bratwurst cthulhu for octoberfest (natural casing, of course)....

I'm sorry, but if you're making an ANYTHING Cthulhu, there should be nothing natural about its casing.
