Specific Artists

Paul Carrick

Much of Paul’s work has appeared in such places as Chaosium’s “Call of Cthulhu,” Mind Venture’s “Don’t Look Back: Terror is Never Far Behind,” and Pagan Publishing’s The Unspeakable Oath.

Dave Carson

Dave has illustrated a number of Lovecraftian publications and has even ventured into medium of sculpture.

Lee Brown Coye

Coye illustrated numerous Arkham House editions of Lovecraft’s work.

H.R. Giger

This Academy Award winning artist claims to be influenced by Lovecraft, and yet his number of explicitly Lovecraftian pieces of art are very few.

Stephen Hickman

Hickman is probably best known in the field of Lovecraftian art for his cover art for the Robert E. Howard collection, Cthulhu, the Mythos, and Kindred Horrors. Hickman has gone on to translate this illustration into a statue, which may be purchased from Bowen Designs.

Allen Koszowski

Allen’s work consists primarily of black-and-white pen and ink drawings although his works do include “a touch of color.” One of his online galleries consists entirely of Lovecraftian artwork.

Francois Launet

Launet’s acrylics have a Gigeresque look to them and their lack of definition in the subjects make them all the eerier. Check out Francois’ Lovecraft Mix and Pages of the Goomicronicon.

Suzanne E. Miller

Suzanne’s artwork is displayed on The R’lyeh National Gallery with her specifically Lovecraftian artwork on its own page.

Anita S. Moore

Anita’s own pages, The Gates of Yith, showcase many of her works.

Rowena Morrill

Rowena created some fantastic cover illustrations for the paperback editions of The Dunwich Horror and The Colour Out of Space. The site that displays these images also has more of her work.

Iain K. Peake

Iain’s Lovecraft-inspired digital artwork is featured on Neverplaces, one of the exhibits on Axis.

Jeff Remmer

Jeff’s site showcases his fantasy and Lovecraft illustrations, as well as some book covers by Frank Frazetta.

Tom Sullivan

Numerous Chaosium publications were illustrated by Tom. He’s also well-known for his work on Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” series of films.

Pete Von Sholly

Pete is “an artist/writer/producer/director with an emphasis on the fantastic side of the arts.” Pete’s created some terrific fictional covers for Lovecraftian issues of Classics Illustrated and has kindly donated scans of them to The H.P. Lovecraft Archive. They include At the Mountains of Madness, “The Call of Cthulhu”, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, “The Colour Out of Space”, “The Dreams in the Witch House”, “The Dunwich Horror”, “The Shadow Out of Time”, “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”, and “The Whisperer in Darkness”. More of Pete’s monstrous creations can be seen at his site, VONSHOLLYWOOD.

Michael Whelan

Michael created two (mostly black-and-white) covers for Del Rey’s paperback editions of Lovecraft, which were then chopped up for seven separate books. The two panels are called Lovecraft’s Nightmare Part One and Lovecraft’s Nightmare Part Two. Other Lovecraft-related works by Michael include Night Gaunts and Ghouls. More of Michael’s work can be seen at Glass Onion Graphics’ The Art of Michael Whelan page.
