“Anomalies” — the beinArt group exhibition opens 13th October 2012 at Copro Gallery, California USA…

“The participating artists have been hand picked for their natural disposition towards the strange and deranged. … There will be paintings, drawings and sculptures of subjects that will deviate, distort and mystify. Human oddities, anatomical wonders, freaks, geeks & gaffs. Step right up and peek inside the beinArt Collective’s cabinet of curiosities! The beinArt Collective was formed to increase public awareness of strange figurative art, in galleries, online and in print [and aims to be] testimony to a huge international movement of figurative artists who have resisted current trends in the art world and remained true to their artistic vision.”

Was it something I said? Last weekend I posted on this blog about the need for a graphic novel of Lovecraft’s life. I mentioned 1919.

Yesterday, the great Alan Moore announced his return to graphic novels… with no less than a work titled Providence, set in 1919 and starring H.P. Lovecraft. The ten-issue series will be published under the imprint of Avatar Press.

Lovecraft’s life as a graphic novel

Has anyone ever thought of doing Lovecraft’s life as a faithful graphic novel? It seems not. Just a thought, if anyone wants to run off with the idea. It occurred to me as I was thinking about how many in the amateur movement might have experienced opium dreams during the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 and during treatment for the other chronic diseases of the time, having been treated with opium by doctors.
