awesome poster is awesome!
So cool!
For those who like beastiaries here are a few links. There are other art books around, and some of these are desined as RPG supplements. Also one is in Italian but the pictures are way cool.
Thanks for the links… I used to have S. Peterson’s Field Guide! Love the art! I used to have a pull out from an RPG which was silhouette’s of different Mytho’s and their relative size to humans, I think the Gnole(?) made up the border of this two page pull out because it is like a worm (reminds me of Star Wars IV) and is, uh, ENORMOUS!
Michael Bukowski is a fine artist and has created many wonderful images of Lovecraftian beasties, that you can see on his website:
Matt, thank you. I always want to give credit, but this was sent to me by someone else and I didn’t know the artist.
Where can I get this for my wall?
Click the image to enlarge, then hit the PRINT button…
That’s great, save ink is pricey, and that’s a LOT of black. And I’d like something bigger than 8.5×11. /sigh
I’d happily pay $20 for a 2’x3′ poster of this!
A great piece. Does anyone know if there is a source for the symbols for the various beasts or they were created by the artist.
also thanks to others for posting the links and references to other bestiaries. I am always fascinated by attempts to render in full-on sustained visuals that which is only glimpsed in a non-Euclidean incursion and by those who have gone mad.
Hey guys! I’m Mike Bukowski and while I LOVE this poster and do indeed have a Lovecraft bestiary blog (www.yog-blogsoth.blogspot.com) I did not make this poster.
Hmmm… well, if anyone finds out who made it, let me know. Thanks, Mike. 🙂
Thank, Mike B, for not taking credit 🙂 But importantly I am happy to have discovered you, your work, and your blog this way!
No problem! As you may have read, I’ve had credit problems recently haha. And I’m glad you all like the work!!
This is really amazing: I’ll print it and stick it on my wall so I’ll won’t get lost again catching up with all the creatures!
Superlative work. I will print this brilliant work and posted directly on my wall and will journey back n forth into the hidden bestiary.
