" It is new, indeed for I made it last night in a dream of strange cities: and dreams are older than brooding Tyre, or the
contemplative Sphinx, or garden-girdled Babylon" The Call of Cthulhu

Recommended Links Lovecraftian Science and the Art of Tom Ardans


I am currently shuffling my Lovecraft material around, with a little help from friends. This always gets me in the mood to search out more items of Mythos interest. 


One of the first places I visited was Lovecraftian Science, a wonderful website dedicated to the science in H.P. Lovecraft.

Their current post; 

Cryptobiosis in Elder Things, Part 2 Traveling through Interstellar Space, features a beautiful (as elder things go) illustration of an Elder Thing by Tom Ardans. 


So the second place I visited was Tom's website My Vain Doodles, which features a plethora of really well executed illustrations of many different scenes and characters from Howard's work. I have not reproduced them here since I do not have permission, but I urge you to not only visit Tom's site but leave comments so he knows how much you enjoy his work.

I noticed Lovecraftian Science also has a tome available on Amazon which I will be ordering once I recover from Christmas.
