Bob Eggleton. This guy is known for his dragon and horror art most notably his Godzilla artwork and his cover art for Brian Lumley's Necroscope & Cthulhu mythos books.

More Eggleton.
Thanks, BD. I love it, & I'm currently using it as my desktop pic. I wouldn't mind having it hanging on my own wall.

I think that's the idea.
LOL...smarty pants. Be nice to me, it's been a rough day. I'm also slightly drunk, so I'm a little goofier than usual tonight.

I think his work fits more with a Clive Barker than H.P. Lovecraft. Barker has more of that gritty nightmare horror feel, while Lovecraft's is more creepy/alien feel IMO.
You have a point. I've only recently started reading Lovecraft, & the cover art & his stories don't exactly jibe. Both are excellent on their own though.

As you are probably discovering Lovecraft's horrors/creatures/demons often have a sea-creature motif to them since Cthulhu & the Old Ones originate from a sea world/dimension.

These are really good. I love the scary, creepy stuff.
The one I'm reading now is 'The Transition of H.P. Lovecraft...The Road To Madness'. The more I hear & see, the more excited I am to read all of his stuff. I've really enjoyed what I've read so far...his writing draws you right into the story. I wish I could write like him.
Daggerrrrrr

This looks like that demon that came out of the floor on that movie "The Gate".As you are probably discovering Lovecraft's horrors/creatures/demons often have a sea-creature motif to them since Cthulhu & the Old Ones originate from a sea world/dimension.
This looks like Medusa.
Great pics Ra.

Thanks. I'll chill on posting horror theme pics for now since some folks might get too freaked out by some of the stuff I could post up.

Lovecraft in a lot of ways is the 20th. century version of Edgar Allen Poe because they both considered themselves more as poets than actual fiction writers and both had that fascination with weird & dark themes.
