Wedgwood Steventon

Posted in Lovecraftian arts
I’m pleased to say that one of the many little galleries in my city is having an exhibition of surrealist paintings likely to interest Lovecraft fans. Wedgwood Steventon’s solo show launches at Artwaves gallery in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday 3rd of August 2012 (7pm-9pm). The exhibition will run from 4th-18th Aug, between 11am-4pm daily (closed Sundays).
Wedgwood Steventon is based locally, but until now has mostly shown internationally. “A collection of works on paper and canvas, personal experiences of an existence in 21st Century England (and Beyond) : a Gathering of Nightmares, Truths and Dares.”
Church of Starry Wisdom library catalog
28 Saturday Jul 2012
Posted in Lovecraftian arts, New books
An interesting new book project, coming in Fall 2013. A supposed sale-catalogue of books from the private occult library of the Church of Starry Wisdom of Providence, on their disbanding in 1877…
Including short bibliographic and historical essays on the books, by “noted scholars“. You’ll remember of course that Lovecraft’s “The Haunter of the Dark” (1935) had the hero discovering the remains of the library in 1938.
Podcast takes stock

Posted in Lovecraftian arts, Podcasts etc.
After three years of great free listening, the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast presenters take stock and consider future plans.
I haven’t got around to listening to this latest show yet, but judging from the text comments there will be a new “super show” format via a paid iTunes subscription. Paying is fine, but I have no affection at all for iTunes. I’d say it should be much more open — like Instapaper’s simple set-it-and-forget-it “$3 for 3 months” recurring PayPal debit charge.

Some lovely examples of artwork from Lovecraft stories, from what appears to be a new Spanish edition of comics adaptations by Erik Kriek. So far as I know, this book is currently only available in Dutch and Spanish.

Richard Corben, Haunt of Horror: Lovecraft
06 Friday Jul 2012
Posted in Lovecraftian arts
I wasn’t aware that Heavy Metal comics veteran Richard Corben has tackled seven Lovecraft adaptations, in Haunt of Horror: Lovecraft (2008)…
Dagon – by Lovecraft
The Music of Erich Zann – by Lovecraft
The Canal (from “Fungi from Yuggoth”) – by Lovecraft
The Lamp (from “Fungi from Yuggoth”) – by Lovecraft
A Memory (from “Fungi from Yuggoth”) – by Lovecraft
The Scar (after ‘Recognition’ from “Fungi from Yuggoth”) – by Lovecraft
The Well – by Lovecraft
The Window – by Lovecraft
I was never a fan of his gaudy airbrushed colour artwork in the 1980s Heavy Metal, but his b&w style looks quite pleasing…

Horacio Lalia

Posted in Lovecraftian arts
Argentinian comics artist Horacio Lalia (Judge Dredd, The Time Machine, Lovecraft) is licencing some of his Lovecraft adaptations…
During his career her has adapted…
“The Nameless City, The Rats in the Walls, The Festival, He, Out of Time, The Unnamable, Dagon, The Alchemist, The Colour Out of Space, The Haunter of the Dark, The Outsider, Pickman’s Model, The Call of Cthulhu, The Moon-Bog, The Dreams in the Witch House, In the Vault, The Mystery of the Grave-Yard, The Ghost-Eater and Cool Air.”
According to Amazon his adaptations were collected in a 2003 book, but it was in French. This is reportedly only 93 pages, so perhaps doesn’t include all of them. There also seems to have been two Spanish language collections Lovecraft: El Grimorio Maldito and Lovecraft: El Manuscrito Olvidado. There’s no English Lalia Lovecraft collection that I can find, although his adaptation of “The Festival” is possibly available in English for the iPad (the description page is very confused about what the product actually is).
