Miskatonic Valley's Truly Authentic Cthulhu (and Other Horrors)

Joe Broers of Miskatonic Valley Fine Arts makes a Cthulhu the way idols were really meant to be made--at least according to a drawing by H.P. Lovecraft. Broers is perhaps the only artist to attempt a statue of this sort, which brings Lovecraft's actual vision to life as much as possible. This resin monstrosity adds the insectoid flair that Lovecraft seemingly intended: six eyes rather than the standard two that usually turns up in today's Mythos depictions.


To date, Miskatonic Valley also has a sinister looking statue of Shub-Niggurath available. "Fictitious documentation" accompanies the two horrors. These are curious letters and news clippings that "vouch" for their faux authenticity. The documents add a dimension of blurred reality between art and life to the enterprise. As far as quality statues go, they're fairly cheap too, at under $150 for either chiseled lump of cosmic insanity.

It's easy to imagine Broers' gleaming sentinels guarding one's library of weird fiction, or at least making one hell of a paperweight. Keep an eye on him. This is an artist who may go far, with his outre visions chained to a business model that emphasizes presentation as well as product.
