I drew this for my wife for her 30th birthday. Happy birthday, darling! You were great at karaoke.

Drawing the Map

Jason — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:33:29 +0000

For the poster map of the Dreamlands, I wanted to get away from the standard design of the “Dreamlands map” printed in various Call of Cthulhu Dreamlands supplements (beautiful though it is). My B&W map included in the book, for all my efforts to make it different, is inevitably influenced by the Call of Cthulhu [...]

Color Map of H.P. Lovecraft’s Dreamlands

Jason — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:37:29 +0000

This has taken me way too long to finish, but here it is: the color poster map of the Dreamlands! Based loosely on the black and white version I did a few months ago, but much revised, it includes all the place-names mentioned in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Doom That Came to Sarnath, [...]

Garuda and Eagle

Jason — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:23:02 +0000

This is a piece I did back in 2008. I used a selection from it as the sidebar of the mockman.com blog from 2009-2011, but Jay convinced me that it was too jarring an image to show up on the top page all the time. I intended this piece (a gift to a friend) to [...]

Cities of Never

“When a man rides a long time through wild regions he feels the desire for a city.” —Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities H.P. Lovecraft’s stories are filled with descriptions of cities, both fictional and real. From the Nameless City of the Arabian desert built by lizard men, to the marginally more realistic Arkham and Dunwich, to [...]

Sarnath Sketches

A few sketches from the upcoming “The Doom that Came to Sarnath” adaptation. (There’s also a few Ibites scattered around the Dream-Quest GN.) More soon!

Dream-Quest Advance Copies!

Jason — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:15:32 +0000

I’ve just received the first actual advance copies of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and other stories! The folks at Global PSD did a beautiful job; it’s a hefty 184 page hardcover with spot UV and smythe-sewn binding, which feels like it’ll still cause SAN loss if you find it on a dusty bookshelf thirty [...]

The Dream of the Duel

Jason — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:10:54 +0000

I had a very vivid dream last night in which I had accepted a challenge to a duel. It was to be a sword duel, to the death. The dream actually started out with me exploring an elaborate fountain, a three-story structure of bronze-colored Grecian columns rising out of the water and greenery, something like [...]

Dream-Quest Printed Sheets

Jason — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:33:34 +0000

I just got the printed sheets of Dream-Quest back from the printer! These are for testing the actual image quality of the final pages, and they look delicious. Here’s some photos!

Go to the latest issue of Previews, the January 2012 issue with the Adam Hughes “Fables” cover (no, I didn’t draw this)… …turn to page 312, under “Mock Man Press,” and there is the listing for “The Dream-Quest [...]
