The Curious Case of Jason McKittrick

For some time now I've become increasingly suspicious of Jason McKittrick.  He seems pleasant enough.  Cheerfully sculpting away, crafting both intriguing bits of Cthulhiana and a line of Lovecraftian candies. But about six months ago something changed.

The problem is the sheer amount of stuff he's producing.  It's simply...unnatural.  I suspect, although I have no proof, that he's been exploring things better left alone.  And by "things" I mean "the reanimation of essential saltes".   It may even have begun innocently, as genuine research for one of his prop assemblages.  But at some point he realized he could call up beings better left dead and put them to work with silicone and casting resin, leaving himself free to sculpt even more.

How else do we explain this?  Yet another Cthulhu idol allegedly done by Mr. McKittrick's hand.

I warn Mr. McKittrick, and all others of similar predilections, that #118 still walks the earth. As Baron Ferenczy and others have learned, his wrath is not a thing to be trifled with.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Daring Edition.

The Schlitzie sent me a heads up that Nick Daring's Cthulhu idol project is entering it's final stages over at the RPF. I featured the initial sculpt back in August. He's now progressed to the final stages of casting the idols and designing the packaging (!) for the run. Head over and read the entire thread. It's an impressive project in every way.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Gentry Edition.

Shaun Gentry is no stranger to these pages. He's currently working on a new Cthulhu project and was kind enough to post a work in progress shot. I'm looking forward to the final product, but the picture itself is a great instructional tool for anyone looking to sculpt their own.

Tools of the Trade

Aurélien Jouve sent over this well done assemblage piece. I absolutely love tableaux presentations of props.

Cthulhu Necklace

Swedish artist Sarah Burchill brings us this nicely done Cthulhu necklace crafted from silver and amber. The inset shot gives you an idea of just how detailed the tiny cameo is.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Tailiana Edition.

This Cthulhu idol comes to use from Czech artist Tailiana. Believe it or not, this was the result of her first attempt at sculpting. Based on that I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

The Stars are Right

In commemoration of the apocalypse, Jason McKittrick brings us this outstanding Cthulhu artifact. I really like the geometry of the piece. Trying to sculpt smooth spirals is a lot harder than he makes it look. Although the linked page says it's no longer available I believe a quirk of the Mayan calendar means it's still possible to order until tonight.
