These two pieces are part of a big series of portraits I developed and sold at conventions for about two years. The idea was suggested to me when my friend, Judith Herman, pointed out hundreds of these antique looking frames for cheap at Artist and Craftsman Supply in Seattle. I ended up making about a hundred portraits — Victorians, mummies, aliens, nuns, historical pirates etc — many ideas coming from Judith herself. Each portrait was original, quick to make and they often went to voice auction when they sold at conventions. The following images are Photoshop composites of the original paintings, scans of the frames, and an original Cthulhu Wallpaper I created. (Download Wallpaper for Free just for visiting.)
