Wow, when I read Lovecraft all I came away with was 'Holy-Hell-Supercool-Creepy!', it would never have occurred to me to do complementary research. Thanks for this :-)

I cannot get enough of these pictures, I really should get off my lazy ass and look for more of them.

No worries :) As I was reading the stories a lot of the notes talked about these artists. While I recognised some of the names it bothered me that the others were unknown. Beings a visual person & while procrasting one day I looked around the net for examples. I can see why he would use these as reference points. Supercool & Creepy all right.
