The Birth of Cthulu by Cyril Van Der Hageen

I came across this picture a few weeks back and have been meaning to post it because I love the subject matter so much. H.P. Lovecraft is one of my all time favorite authors, so seeing this excellent imagining of the moment when all the ideas for his crazy stories clicked for him in his real life had me speechless. Artist Cyril Van Der Haegen leaves no Lovecraftian character or theme out in this one... check the full size version after the jump.

If I Were A Bit Younger, I Would Rock One Of These

These are the kind of ski masks that I wish were available when I was a kid... nothing keeps your face warmer then a full on ski mask, so why not look awesome while staying warm as well? First up, we got a Ghostbuster's themed Stay Puft Marshmallow Man ski mask. Take a look at this magnificient bastard:

You can order that for about 20 bucks over at 80's Tees by clicking here.

Next up, we got a much more sophisticated, knitted version of the ski mask featuring the Great Old One Chtlulu from the tales of HP Lovecraft. Good lord this is acurate (and spooky as shit). Imagine walking down the street wearing this thing.... wow!

You can grab that mask for 20 bucks by checking out Crafty PA's Etsy shop by clicking here.
