well done, to be sure- but original? hardly. He owes so much technique and style to Giger, it's insulting to say he's 'inspired by'.

if any of you would like to get one on a tee, do me a HUGE favor and go vote it a '5' along with any supportive comments over at threadless.com- thanks! [threadless.com]

I see your point, but I wasn't really trying to link to Evil Dead- I knew I needed to go with something more than just a big black book with no embellishments, something that maybe the newest of Lovecraft fans might at least recognize as 'necronomicon-esque'

Edison, J.P Morgan, Marconi and other's that Tesla struggled with were elements I had in my mental 'backstory' to be minions of some of the Elder Gods..very cool

in a way I'm glad I don't keep up with comics...I'm already under the impression that everything has already been done ;)

Lovecraft being a little distrustful and xenophobic (even of Tesla) would be a great element to any stories...I recently learned Tesla was Lovecraft's inspiration for Nyarlathotep! There is only a small window of years both were in New York, Lovecraft was trending and Tesla was about to implode, but isn't that was…

did the spot illustrator you hired not make the deadline? I'm an illustrator, I'm out of work, and I'd never submit a preliminary sketch as publishable work. beside that, I agree with everything.
