Ctheltic Cthulhu (18 x 24", Glossy or Matte
Finish)
$61.50

Here's a little bouillabaisse of Lovecraftian horror and Celtic art. A marriage not made in heaven, obviously, but given the subject - well, that's just fine.
Cthulhu, known among necromancers as "The Elvis of the Great Old Ones", is possibly not dreaming here - as we hope he continues to do - but its hard to be sure with those pearly eyes. Anyway his tentacles divide and dissolve into bands of Celtic knotwork in a way that pleases me. I always dread treating part of these animal-like patterns in a realistic way when I need to flatten them out elsewhere in the design; but this time, possibly due to Cthulhu's intervention, I managed it pretty well, I think.
The digital painting (Photoshop) was created for a T-shirt design for my newly relaunched Saga Shirts site, where I'm now doing a new line of full color shirt designs, rather than the silkscreened shirts I had there before.
The poster version is a high resolution image full of eldritch detail and oddly batrachian textures. It's the perfect accent, I think, for that eighteenth century basement you've got; you know, the one with the odd wooden hatch bolted over what looks like some sort of well. With the scratching noises.
ABOUT
THE PRINTS

These
prints are made to order by deviantPrints,
using an archival quality photographic process on
Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper. They're rated to last
over 100 years without fading - though no prints should
be left where they'll be baked by direct sunlight.
The color fidelity, clarity and paper weight of these
prints is far superior to the poster-quality reproductions
I also sell here. They're pretty much the bee's knees.
You
can order a print in either glossy or matte finish.
This is mainly a matter of personal taste, but I do
think that the glossy prints give you a sharper representation
of the original digital image.
When
you add one of these archival prints to your prints
shopping cart it will pop up in a new window. You
can keep browsing through these pages and add new
items as you go. The shopping cart window will update
as you add more items. When you're ready to check
out, do so in the cart window and you'll be taken
through the ordering process.



These
archival quality prints are supplied by a different
vendor than my other merchandise, and use a separate
shopping cart. You
cannot place a single order for both archival prints
and, for example, T shirts. Archival
prints will ship separately from other items.
