The Many Faces Of Howard Phillips Lovecraft
September 24th, 2013 |
Ugh, caricature is hard. And then to try to caricature in somebody else’s style? And have them make an uncharacteristic cartoony wild take? I looked at photos of Lovecraft, caricatures of him by others, caricatures of celebrities by the Animaniacs animators… Ugh.
I was tossing a few print ideas around in my head, and I thought of the Warner siblings, and how they would, from episode to episode, harass various figures from history and mythology. Who could I have them pester…? Ooh! H.P. Lovecraft, and Dot could do her “wanna see my pet?” gag!
So that’s the second new print with betentacled horrors. These and more on sale at Edmonton Expo this weekend!
Oh, animaniacs are sooo cool in your style. And that print! I wish I could visit that con… But unfortunately I don’t live in those places =(
Good luck at Edmonton, Alan!
Animaniacs are the best. Have fun at the con!
Dude, that turned out AMAZING. I had to draw a few Power Ranger actors once, and while I’m nowhere near as proficient as you are, I can definitely relate to the hardships of such an endeavor. ;) It does pay off in the end, though. Well worth the hard work!
Have a great time at the con! Seems you’ve got quite the privileged spot. =p
Thanks!
Yeah, we got really lucky with the spot. We were actually on the waiting list because artist alley filled up. But then, due to high demand they extended artist alley in place of a few regular booths, and it seems to have worked out. Straight opposite Red 5 Comics!
hope you have fun at your commercialized art talent expo, send your family some amusing knick-knacks
Those two pictures are excellent. Hellboy and Lovecraft. There’s a major work of fiction drifting about the ether that we may never see.
ah Lovecraft is so awesome, shame about the racism but hey, suppose that’s what gave him the drive to put the emotion in his stories (dunno that’s what some “expert” said on the wiki)
Somebody wanna look at silhouettes of the main four dudes like chibi? No?… Or them like 10-years-old boys? erm… oh. Well, I’ll leave it here anyways.

congrats! woo-hooo…. *going away in silence*
Haha, cute!
The Animaniacs image came out both awesome and hilarious. And the Hellboy image looks great too. :)
The Animaniacs! Squee!
Wish I could go to local ones, let alone non local. Cool pic btw.
