H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

The "Cthulhu Avatar Series" is an artistic project that aims to blend the eerie and cosmic horror themes of H.P. Lovecraft's works with the atmospheric and moody landscapes characteristic of John Atkinson Grimshaw's paintings from the early 1900s.

Really cool stuff. Love the work with the existing artwork of course but I'm also very happy to learn about Grimshaw. Some of his paintings are straight up my alley. Thank you for sharing
