Lovecraftian Art
------=-O-=------

Many artists have been inspired to create their own interpretations of Lovecraft’s horrific creations.

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.
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’ extensive page of Lovecraft artwork.
Rowena Morrill
Rowena created some fantastic cover illustrations for the paperback editions of The Dunwich Horror and The Colour Out of Space.
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 what he calls Classics NOT Illustrated. His blog entries, “Cartoons I Loved Crafting” and “PVS and HPL” feature additional Lovecraftian artwork.
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 A and Lovecraft’s Nightmare B.
