I think I first read some of H.P. Lovecraft's fiction in high school, and I was immediately captivated by the concepts he came up with in his "Cthulhu Mythos". From time to time, I have tried my hand at trying to illustrate some of those concepts, or at least create illustrations inspired by them. This is a fairly early one, from 1977, depicting a scene set in one of those weird, unpleasant small New England towns Lovecraft liked to describe. -- PL

You're known as the guy who created the Ninja Turtles, obviously, but I think you're very underrated as an artist. I'm loving all these non-turtle art posts, keep em coming!
i quite like the cthulhu clouds.
Wow!
And I thought your Turtle art was awesome!
Speaking of turtles, is that a sewer cover I see? Haha!
Really, really, awesome art! It just keeps getting better!
-->> ..the cross-hatching on the buildings is interesting as hell.
dunno if if we've seen something like that on a piece of yours before.
>v<
That's seriously amazing!
I love the little character on the left.
I agree with Ecto, you're one hell of an artist.
It's a shame you don't really do this stuff anymore.
But I do love seeing the work you've done in the past all the same.
Have you ever thought about bringing out a coffee table book?

Creeeeeeepy! Love it, and I agree the cthulhu clouds just make this!
Welcome to Innsmouth.
Underrated? Agreed!
