Artist's Comments

watercolor, 10x8"

"Ph'nuglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn." - H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Because I wanted to type it out, that's why! Some poor catamaran sailboat racer was caught in the doldrums of the south Pacific, and found something unpleasant that he did not expect.

Here's another one the scanner ate. This thing is ten years old, I should probably replace it soon! ;)

Cthulhu is the intellectual brainchild of Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

Awesome :love: I always liked how Cthulhu was just chillin in the middle of nowhere, waiting for some hapless seamen to stumble upon the ruins... Though it was sort of lame how he failed to catch those guys in the Call of Cthulhu story (they like backed into him or something? ... lame).

I think only you could create such a frightening yet whimsical scene :)

awesome moster, I mean what a mixture:wow, it's a bit octopusish, a bit mammothish, a bit apeish, and a bit batlike,

oh, and it must be so much fun to be a water moster like that and be capable of playing with real ships 1:1
