This Lovecraft art print was originally created for a theatre production celebrating his otherworldly mythos. My goal was to capture that sense of awe and insignificance that defines Lovecraft’s world — a place where reality bends, and the unknown waits just beyond perception.
Using intricate linework and dense, textural blacks, I aimed to evoke the feeling of old ink illustrations found in early 20th-century pulp magazines — rough, obsessive, and full of lurking detail. The shifting forms and shadows within the piece suggest both the alien beauty and the creeping madness that Lovecraft so masterfully wrote about.
Although created digitally, this illustration maintains a hand-inked intensity, a tactile imperfection that mirrors the disquieting energy of Lovecraft’s imagination. It’s both a homage and an invitation — to gaze too long into the abyss and wonder what might gaze back.
