Celebrating the creation and collection of curious devices, intriguing documents, and forbidden artifacts, with an emphasis on items inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos.
Another bit of Cthulhu clip art for your prop documents. I've been using this particular sigil for years on scrolls and such, but I think it's most notable appearance was as a bit of tattoo flash. That's right, there are at least two guys walking around with this permanently inked on their skin.
