2 legs good, 8 legs OK, thousand legs wouhou!

ahah sorry for copying, tentacules concordance ;)

This is Shub-Niggurath with her thousand child

I think it was time for me to illustrate these demons from my teenage hero Lovecraft!
I know since then many many illustrated this and probably there's nowadays rules and tradition but i know nothing about it, except these by Fufu which are greater than I could do, but I'll try to challenge the one I can see made of computer layering.
I will try to make the others characters, already got some sketches for few of them. Oh and yes i surely already did Cthulhu once or two!

4 legs good, 2 legs bad, 8 legs super

The cover of sketchbook #66. How this guy got his tentacles will be explained in my upcoming book, Pola.

Pola

Last few months i have been working on a sequel to The 9th Island. Pola, the plucky granddaughter of the protagonists of that book, has grown up and goes into the world, looking for love. Things don't go as planned. In fact, the story has as many weird twists and turns as i could think of. For instance, she will discover the mainland, where the clock has been put back to the year 1913.

For a long time, i have been thinking of doing a story that takes place in that world - men with curly mustaches and bowler hats - but was hesitant to do so, as Jacques Tardi has put so much of his mark on that era that anything you'd do, looks like a knock-off. I guess i am no longer affraid.

Also, Pola's adventure will serve as a sequel to my adaptation of Dante's Inferno.

Family Viewing

Yet an other oldie, redone in duotone for riso print. It's interesting what happens with the adding and erasing of colour this way. The title probably refers for the film by Atom Egoyan of the same name (1987), but it is a bit long ago. Originally used for my self-produced anthology Thank god it's Ugly, issue 3, when i was really into experimenting with warped moire effects.
