You have an established -- and growing -- fanbase.<br /><br />If you wanted to do anything *else*, the fair method would be to start a separate blog for that, and keep this one going for the same old.<br /><br />Otherwise the serious Lovecraftian-props devotees would be heartbroken, ans something wondrously weird and irreplaceable would be gone from the world.

If your preferences don't match up with someone else's, then they can go elsewhere. There are plenty of blogs in the sphere.<br /><br />I appreciate your particular slant, not because I am heavily into Lovecraft, but because I am interested in really well made props that are often art pieces in and of themselves. The artists you feature are not only skilled, but creative and meticulous both in technique and in research.<br /><br />By browsing your blog, I often get ideas or cull techniques for my own projects.
