Spotted Online – A Lovecraft Retrospective

Now here is an awesome book I would love to own. But the price? Ouch! A Lovecraft Retrospective over at Bud Plant’s site (if you love art you already know of this site) looks stunning. I want this book! Now to figure out a way to justify buying a $400 art book that I’ll be too afraid to touch.

The “A-list” of fantasy artists have convened to pay tribute to macabre pulp master H.P. Lovecraft in this enormous illustrated collection. H.R. Giger, Mike Mignola, John Jude Palencar, John Howe, Frank Frazetta, and Bernie Wrightson are just a few of the artists who’s imaginations were fired by Lovecraft’s otherworldly prose and whose work is presented here. With over 360 awesome illustrations and thirty fold-out pages, this massive tome is bursting with the electrifying horror of the Cthulhu, the Necronomicon and more! This cloth-bound edition comes in a slipcase.

Hmmm, Amazon.com has it for $250.* But that is still a lot of money . . . but maybe if I sold some toys and stuff on eBay . . . must think.
