The tour guide says:

Here you will find pictures, illustrations and photos that relate to me somehow.  Some might actually be of me (God help you) and others could be of friends, family, interesting locations and art inspired by my work.  These pictures may change often or not at all, depending upon how the muses strike.  So please check back every so often to see how the voices in my head guide me through this.    

My insane doodles

Some time ago I found an old sketch pad of mine form the way back year of 1989. Which puts me at the age of 16. Now some kids that age drew naked chicks, others did hotrods or heavy metal album covers, me I did weird stuff like this. So here is proof that I’ve been kind of screwy for a long, long time.

 

 

 

The caption on this one says: “Little Ms. Muffit (yes, it should have been Miss. Muffet, but back then I didn’t care or know better) sat on her Tuffet.”   

Art for and about my work

 

 

 

 

A few years back I made up an evil, magical artifact for the Call of Cthulhu role playing game. It was called The Hand Of Y’golonac and it was well received. So well in fact that a very kind and talented artist (Luis Corte Real) sent me this illustration of it.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As if that wasn’t cool enough, another great artist by the name of Rick Poppe, that makes many wicked Cthulhu Mythos statues and busts, created a life-sized version. So if you would like your very own Hand of Y’golonac, you can get one made for you here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and credit where credit is due: the horrible Great Old One, Y’golonac was created by horror master Ramsey Campbell, in his story, “Cold Print”.
