Personally I think many of these mythos imaginings by children beat most of the adult attempts to render Lovecraftian fauna into a pictorial form. See what you think?
Maybe Night Shade could hire some of these guys for the miscellaneous volume...
Thank you so much for posting this link! What wonderful artwork--simultaneously innocent and disturbing. That smiling shoggoth will haunt my dreams for a long time...and since shoggoths can assume any shape, all such depictions can be considered accurate! All kudos to the kids!
Seriously, their impressionistic paintings are astonishingly effective at conveying the inhuman and otherworldly nature of HPL's creatures, often trumping the more detailed works of adult artists. The pictures of the Great Race of Yith, for example...I had never considered them particularly frightening monsters before, but I may have to change my opinion. Those paintings are scary!
I bet "Grandpa Cthulhu" would have been delighted.

Yes, and by now, you have made this ABUNDANTLY clear innumerable times. If there is anyone on this board who doesn't know your opinion about the NSB covers, it is a piece of news worthy of the front page of any newspaper in the world.
There's an American saying, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". ;-)
At any rate, so long as others continue to broach the subject, I'll be more than happy to exercise my right to express an opinion, just as all the well-informed citizens here can exercise their right to ignore it, rather than making at least equally well worn contrarian comments.
