A large glossy rectangular monolith with an unfinished face carved into it. The monolith is split in half and a mass of pink alien tendrils spill out from within it

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

I'll be a vendor and panelist at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon October 2-4th! My table will be in middle of the upstairs lobby with a large selection of original woodcut art as well as reproductions, cards, bookmarks, and other weirdness! #art #woodcut #hplff

A hand-colored woodcut print reproduced on maple wood veneer. The art resembles 16th century woodcut illustration, but depicts Cthulhu, a character created by H.P. Lovecraft. This hybrid humanoid sits cross-legged upon a black rock jutting out of the sea. One crab-like arm points to the stars, and the other down to a city emerging from the waves. It has dark batlike wings spread behind it. Above the figure are the latin words R'lyeh exsurgebit ubi astra parata sunt. .

A black ink woodcut print on cream colored paper. A simple black line frames a vertical rectangular scene of a blobby humanoid perched on a mound. It has no eyes and the mouth ends in tentacles. It plays a flute with stubby fingers. A black crescent moon is in the upper right and bog plants including a Sarracenia pitcher plant grow below its clawed feet.

A monstrous figure fills a black background. This woodcut print has been hand-colored in a rainbow of hues, from red at the top, to purple below. Depicted is a creature with a sharp tooth filled grimace, tentacle limbs, a long thin tail, and fins like wings containing numerous eyes.

A black woodcut reproduced on maple wood veneer. A simple black line encompasses a scene of a monstrous giant dancing inside a ring of black stones. The giant holds a key in one hand and gestures to a doorway in the cloud with the other. It has a scaled chest, tentacled hips with two crude eyes, furry legs, and sauropod feet. Two tiny humans gesture in the corners near bonfires, and birds fill the sky.

when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.

Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

[Name your favorite dance scene.] The opening of HAIR (1979) never fails to activate chills in my upper spine, radiating out from the back of my head (pleasant, & consistent across decades—had #Betamax dub as a kid.) The editing wins. Evokes extra emotion/s when rewatched after seeing whole film.

“The Death I Bring” Pencils I made on a moleskine sketchbook page back in 2016.

A realistic pencil drawing of a robed woman, surrounded by three vultures and one barn owl grabbing a dead mouse with his beak.

The robed woman stares at us intimately, with a few bits of branched and a dark background makes the scene a bit ominous but graceful body positioning makes the scene beautiful as well. The artist (me) really likes this kind of imagery.
