#shubzeroth

Howard Phillips Lovecraft died 82 years ago today. March 15th, 1937. It’s impossible for me to deny his influence on my imagination, taste and style. Because of #JohnCarpenter #BerniWrightson #Metallica #MichaelWhelan and #MikeMignola I started to make an effort and read more #Lovecraft. Check out their work - and you’ll see what I mean. . As a human being - he sucked. Can’t deny that. . My favorite story has and will always be “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”. The idea of a town of fish people and an inescapable destiny had me “hooked”! . Which story is your favorite? . Included are some of examples of the pieces I’ve done where I was blatantly influenced by #HPLovecraft. I even got to design a toy with Justin Jewett once we started @meta.crypt #ShubZeroth was/is our “love letter” to Lovecraft. . I’m currently working on a #gigposter for one of my favorite bands and they gave me the green light to have it center around Lovecraft! Doing my best to keep it R’lyeh! . “Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!” . Hope you dig! . #illustration #bigbusiness #Melvins #MurderCityDevils #innsmouth #shadowoverinnsmouth #cthulu #MetaCrypt #deadCTHULHUwaitsdreaming #design #detail #inking #lineart #goth #macabre #horror #cosmichorror #Ktulu (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCfZigFuMn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pjolz4150pvh

DEADLINE is TONIGHT! go to http://meta-crypt.com We are doing a TIMED EDITION pre-order for this long sleeve #shirt over at @meta.crypt ALL infos over there! Link in @meta.crypt bio . We are only printing as many as ordered! . BIG THANKS to EVERYONE that have jumped on this! I’m very happy that WE (Justin & I) are doing more @meta.crypt releases. This was an idea that we had been talking about for a year. I’m stoked to see this to fruition! Plus I never do shirt designs - so it’s nice to finally do one. . The end goal was to make the image print like tshirts used to look back in the 80’s. Technology sucked back then when color seps were done by hand and everything was photographed. Using the #drybrush and colored pencil techniques helped me achieve that. When scanned and converted to bitmap the subtle shading turns harsh - like it was copied on a xerox machine. . So yeah - go to @meta.crypt META-CRYPT.com to pick up the shirt and a our so fresh and so clean #sofubi #ShubZeroth. We aren’t doing any holiday sales so don’t get puritanical on this! . . . . . #Metacrypt #illustration #design #detail #inking #lineart #screenprinting #tshirtgraphics #skulls #killedbydeath #lemmy #molemolemole #ink #baphomet #beelzebub #lovecraft #goatboobs #darkartists #darkart #KidsInSatansService #lucifer #warpig #blackmagic #crowley #halloween #goth #ShubZeroth https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-SsxqB-SU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=35ns3e3qwk99

Work in progress on the new #shubzeroth shirt design for my other thang @meta.crypt!!! . We are doing a pre-order for the shirts over at @meta.crypt meta-crypt.com ALL infos over there! Link in MC bio . It had been a while since I sat down to draw my dude #Shub aka #ShubbaRanks @rocketsociety and I had been talking about our next release and we landed on #motorhead from there I thought it would be fun to redesign the #warpig and make it into a #wargoat! I had no idea how hard that was gonna be. After doing the research - drinking lots of coffee and blasting the “Motörhead” and #aceofspades albums - I was able to try and tackle the redesign. I enjoyed trying to figure out how to make the helmet work for a goat. The chains and the tusks were the also fun. I thought it would be a nice Easter egg to draw the two skulls as us. Lastly the textures were what made my jeans tight. I used a black colored pencil on cold press Bristol board for the chrome/metal and dry brush to achieve the dirty lived in look of the chains. Everything else was #inked with a #winsornewton series 7 size 0 #brush If th at stuff makes your jeans tight - look into #andrewloomis that’s where I learned all that stuff. . So yeah - go to META-CRYPT.com to pick up the shirt and a Shub. We aren’t doing any holiday sales so don’t slack on this! . . . . . #Metacrypt #illustration#design #detail #inking #lineart #screenprinting #tshirtgraphics #skulls #killedbydeath #lemmy #ink #baphomet #beelzebub #lovecraft #goatboobs #darkartists #darkart #shubba https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqk7sG7h05a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7q0ook23hmid
