Artist's Comments

This is my contribution to visualize H. P. Lovecraftīs work. I allways wanted to paint the great Cthulhu, now itīs done! (but not as a comission - just for my pleasure)
I didnīt want to show too much of him, because in Lovecrafts stories there are allways many things that he left to the readers imagination - so I wanted to do the same with this picture, and I wanted to capture a remindable scene from the story "call of cthulhu".

painted in two days with brushes and acrylics on canvas, ca. 40 cm x 58 cm

damn cool

the "soul" is pure potential, like open space or silence with weight to it. the soul is open and ready to recieve.
fill me, heavy silence.
fill me, loud sound.
fill me, black void.

Beauutiful. You really have a talent for capturing lighting effects wonderfully. When I get more into acrylics from the watercolour I do now, I hope to learn how to do pieces as effective as yours.

As a side note, did you manage to catch Pirates of the Carribean 2? There was a definite Cthulhu factor in that fishy sea captain.

Wonderful stuff to look at, mate. Keep up the great work.

aww man i can't get over how wonderful your art work is i mean really most of todays art is done on the computer (well not most but a lot ) or it's altered somehow one the computer but man the detail and passion put into your work it's great to see .. i mayself am not as big in sit and working on an art piece for a long time like i'll work on something for a week or two and end up leaving it for 2 months any way thats off the topic just got to say wonderfull art work :D :thumbsup:

I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
