Lovecraft’s Nightmare A and B, art by Michael Whelan Del Rey Books asked Michael to do 2 paintings of horrific images they could use on 7 volumes of H.P. LOVECRAFT stories. He didn't have to illustrate the stories, just create images that conveyed the mood. This two form his only real diptych—1 artistic image created on 2 panels and the paintings can meet side by side either way with one flowing into the other. They are featured in MICHAEL WHELAN'S WORKS OF WONDER, his second art book, and they are hugely popular with heavy metal bands and fans.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft died 82 years ago today. March 15th, 1937. It’s impossible for me to deny his influence on my imagination, taste and style. Because of #JohnCarpenter #BerniWrightson #Metallica #MichaelWhelan and #MikeMignola I started to make an effort and read more #Lovecraft. Check out their work - and you’ll see what I mean. . As a human being - he sucked. Can’t deny that. . My favorite story has and will always be “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”. The idea of a town of fish people and an inescapable destiny had me “hooked”! . Which story is your favorite? . Included are some of examples of the pieces I’ve done where I was blatantly influenced by #HPLovecraft. I even got to design a toy with Justin Jewett once we started @meta.crypt #ShubZeroth was/is our “love letter” to Lovecraft. . I’m currently working on a #gigposter for one of my favorite bands and they gave me the green light to have it center around Lovecraft! Doing my best to keep it R’lyeh! . “Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!” . Hope you dig! . #illustration #bigbusiness #Melvins #MurderCityDevils #innsmouth #shadowoverinnsmouth #cthulu #MetaCrypt #deadCTHULHUwaitsdreaming #design #detail #inking #lineart #goth #macabre #horror #cosmichorror #Ktulu (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCfZigFuMn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pjolz4150pvh
