Cthulhu Cthursday: Deviant Artist: Toren Atkinson
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Toren Atkinson’s work has a storytelling quality about it that I find irresistible. Each piece communicates a capsule of information that at once conveys action and premise while, at the same time, producing stunning imagery. His pieces, entitled “Cthulhu” and “Cthulhu on the Rampage”, seem as though they were made to be included in the printed version of a certain survivor’s last journal, and it should come as no surprise that he has done album art for is the lead singer of The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, however, it’s this piece, “Where the Great Old Ones Are”, that may be my favorite.

Well I would hope he did at least some of the art.
We need more of their music up here.

And occasionally the Thickets let him sing at their shows, when their lead singer Toren Atkinson doesn’t show up.
