I just still can’t get over how much I love Mignola’s style. It also makes me feel like I should get hella better at my own illustration not just so I can publish a series of award winning comics but so I can do stuff like this with any kids I might have.

Over at Tor.com they’ve had a bit of a Lovecraft-fest kicked off with a selection of Cthulhu-inspired artworks from a selection of artists but overwhelmingly made up of user contributions. My personal favourite is the Cthuluphant:

The submissions range from cute to creepy and funny to downright scary but are well worth a browse. And of course no Cthulhu image collection would be complete without a little Mike Mignola.

As an aside Lovecraft definitely sounds like a euphemistic term for prostitution.
