Charles Harry Eaton

/

I made a master copy of a Charles Harry Eaton painting. The first time I saw one of his paintings was at The Detroit Institute of Art, which has his famous painting of water lilies. The copy I made later became a present for my mother and was made into a puzzle.

 

Charles Harry Eaton (1850-1901)

“Inspired by the Barbizon style of painting and devoted to the Detroit landscape for much of his career, Charles Harry Eaton was largely a self-taught artist who determinedly earned himself a national reputation. Raised in Akron, Ohio, Eaton moved to Detroit in 1867 and studied briefly under John Mix Stanley. The years of 1878 to 1880 found him momentarily in Holly, Michigan, followed by two years in Chicago, and nearly ten years in New York City. During the 1890s, the artist finally settled in Leonia, New Jersey, where he remained for the rest of his career.”

CIHTS – Pins

/

The Kickstarter for the anthology “Cthulhu is Hard to Spell, The Terrible Twos” is still going on. It ends March 23, so there’s still time to support the kickstarter to publish the book. See link below:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/russellnohelty/cthulhu-is-hard-to-spell-a-2nd-lovecraft-comic-anthology

I’ve pledged the $60 amount because I really wanted the Pin collection and to have my name in the special thanks.

But, what I would suggest to you all is the $45 because…

1. You get 4 amazing pins

2. A physical copy

3. Some great extra digital comics!

Above is the pin I got from the last campaign, which is available this time as well. I love it and my Elder god watches over me while I work (it sits under my monitor). To the right is the pin design for this year which I think will look AMAZING!

I have been a part of both anthologies and worked with writer Johnny C again. Our story, fitting with the theme of sequels, is also a sequel to our fist comic (though easily a stand alone).

Before I even get this posted we have reached the 1st mile stone of $5,000!! WOW!

Also, I’ll be posting almost every day, if not other. So keep your eyes out!

Fuck Him Up

/

Finally I am coloring the Draw the Squad sketches. I do love that I called all the files weird names, like this is “Fuck Him Up”.

I now hc that Ariana is crazy and thirst for blood lol. But for real I loved drawing her. Also, I could draw Aberforth being angry all day.

fuck him up

I also found these sketches just a really good way to get out of my burn out from the end of the year.

Hastur – CIHTS

/

Since next week will be the launch for the kickstarter for the sequel to the anthology “Cthulhu is Hard to Spell” I’m showing off my entry in the last anthology.

The sequel has even more Hastur drawings!

I recently updated my avatar. Tried not to change it too much, but like the small edits to make it look more like me (lol which I messed up by getting a pixie cut last week).
