H.P. Lovecraft was in tonight's episode of Supernatural, he was killed before the title sequence while just having finished one of his books. Thought that was kinda cool nod to him and the mythos. He features throughout the rest of it too. It is still on so not sure how far it goes.

Thanks for the reminder. I usually watch it the next saterday morning but this saterday I had other things to do and didnt think about it anymore. Will watch it tonight.

he wasn't portrayed all that well... seemed the writers were poking a bit of fun at him and his fans.

I havent seen the Supernatural episode yet, but a guy I have known for a decade on the Dakka Dakka forums who went by the username "Nightserpent" (Otherwise known as Paul Carrick who some of you which play the CoC RPG may recognize as one of Chaosium's artists. He even did one promo card art for the old CCG cards whose art is shown at the bottom) sent me an email from his blog a few minutes ago.

I figured I would share the email with you all since the episode is of interest in this thread.

For those of you who watched the season finale episodes of the CW network's 'Supernatural' show last Friday evening, you may have noticed some familiar elements lurking on the sets- and those elements would be a whole pile of my Lovecraftian art! It was a rather surreal feeling to think that my artwork had been turned into a digital signal and broadcast throughout the continent's airspace. You can watch the episode at the CW site here . If you'd like to catch the scene with my art, fast forward to 9:47. Some of it is quite easily recognizable, some took some searching- like a bizarre Easter egg hunt or "Where's Whateley".

So, let's have a look at that set!

The set creates the apartment of a Lovecraft enthusiast who boasts the largest collection of his letters. His place is thoroughly decorated with all sorts of Mythos imagery, including posters from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society and fellow mythos artist Earl Geier. In the above photo you'll see the most recognizable painting of mine in the scene, it's the HUGE Lovecraft portrait. To the left and below are a number of Earl's pieces. Next slide, please ....

Above you'll see a specially painted Cthulhu statue next to the laptop. Next, please...

Above on the left is my R'lyeh painting (limited prints still available!!) beep...

Above is my Azathoth painting, this guy has great taste!!

To the right of the Miskatonic University pennant is my 'Yithian Commune' illustration. Next up....

And, around the corner from R'lyeh is Cthulhu itself! There's one other image in the set (of a statue of Cthulhu), I'll see if I can get a photo of that as well.

Many many thanks to the kind people at Supernatural 5 films, some of the most friendly and easy to work with people.

cheers!

~Paul
