THIS IS "THE HORROR IN CLAY" ALSO BEING THE TITLE OF THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE CALL OF CTHULHU.
THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND SCULPTURE BY LOVECRAFT ILLUSTRATOR, TONY PATRICK. THIS WAS HAND SCULPTED WITH PROFESSIONAL SCULPTING EPOXIE CLAY ON A WOOD BASE.
THIS ONE HAS THREE EYES ON EACH SIDE OF THE HEAD AS HPL WAS FOND OF SKETCHING IN HIS DRAWINGS TO BARLOW & OTHERS WHEN ASKED TO DEPICT CTHULHU & THE WILCOX SCULPTURE. THE SIGILS ON THE R'LYEH STONES WERE COPIED FROM LOVECRAFT'S SIGILS FROM HIS LETTERS PORTRAYING THE WILCOX SCULPTURE.
SCULPTURE STANDS APPR. 11" TALL, 11 1/2" WIDE & 8 1/2" DEEP.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF ART & IS NOT A REPRODUCTION. THIS ONE WOULD MAKE A GREAT PLASTIC OR RESIN MODEL IF THE BUYER WANTS TO MAKE A PROFIT WITH THIS. RESIN CASTINGS OF THIS WOULD PUT THE BUYER IN THE PROFIT RANGE BY THE 8TH OR 9TH ONE SOLD. I WOULD PREFER TO AVOID THE PRODUCTION SIDE & ONLY DO THE CREATING.
MR. PATRICK HAS ILLUSTRATED NUMEROUS BOOKS IN THE SCI-FI/FANTASY GENRE. HIS LATEST PUBLISHED ARTWORK (PAINTINGS) CAN BE SEEN ON THE BACKER CARDS OF THE DISTINCTIVE DUMMIES MOVIE MONSTER ACTION FIGURES OF NOSFERATU, CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, BARRYMORE MR. HYDE & THE MAN WHO LAUGHS.
PATRICK HAS SIGNED THE SCULPTURE. IT IS ALSO SIGNED & DATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BASE. THIS ALSO COMES WITH A C. O. A. NOTATING THIS TO BE A 1 OF 1 SCULPTURE.
THIS WILL LOOK AMAZING ON YOUR ARKHAM HOUSE OR LOVECRAFT SHELVES.
THIS WILL BE PACKAGED AS CAREFULLY & PROFESSIONALLY AS POSSIBLE. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE HIGHER SHIPPING PRICE BUT THIS SCULPTURE IS SOLID & EXTREMELY HEAVY.
