Blast from the Past #208: Art lovers

This is another one of my C'thulhu-themed drawings, which, while undated, is very likely from around the same time as the one I posted as BftP #205.



This piece was actually inspired by a photograph I saw in an issue of "National Geographic" of two middle-aged woman looking at art in a museum. The poses, gestures and expressions just seemed perfect for this composition... so I swiped them! -- PL

Blast from the Past #205: Cthulhu

Since my high school days, I have been a fan of the work of H.P. Lovecraft and his "C'thulhu Mythos" stories especially. This is a drawing I did back in 1977, just for fun, illustrating what I thought a small statuette of the dreaded Elder God might look like.



I think the words on the fragment of paper in the drawing are from a Lovecraft poem.

Trivia note: I've left this photo uncropped so that the edges of the paper on which I drew this piece are visible -- it's another one of the pieces of packing material I found back then to supplement my meager supply of drawing paper. -- PL
