I find it slightly bizarre that today marks the 75th anniversary of the death of Howard Phillips Lovecraft and I spent the evening sculpting something based on one of his most famous works. I’m also reading The Arcanum which has HP as a character at the moment and once i’ve posted this i’m off for a chapter or two before bed but I had no idea the anniversary was today until my twitter timeline started to fill up with comments so it shows I follow all the right loonies.<\/p>\n
