The Lurker from Raygun Robyn
The lurker at the heart of the cosmos sees you and he will eat you. What I really love about this Lovecraft inspired tee is the fact it is so different from all the others. Cthulhu is shown as a black shape, blotting out the stars. The contrast is really effective. Having the monster become the neckline is also unique and works beautifully. The lack of detail means this could be an monster, therefore offering a much broader appeal.

Kids, Don't Read The Necronomicon
Kids, Don't Read The Necronomicon by wagnogueira
This took me right back to my childhood, staying up late at night reading horror stories when I should have been sleeping. For the uninitiated the Necronomicon is a fictional grimoire appearing in the stories by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. I love how the boys imagination is bringing Cthulhu and all the other monsters to life. The artwork is fantastically detailed. In fact I would love to see this as a print hanging in libraries. It would surely help kids get into reading.

Qwertee Review - God Of Cosmic Horror
Qwertee
I have been following Qwertee for about a year now yet this is the first tee I have bought from them. Now that I have it, I am a little annoyed. I am annoyed that I waited this long and that the pictures here just don't do it justice. The print is fantastic, picking up tiny details included by the artist creepyseb. You can't really see it but the linework is black with a silver shading, which gives it an amazing hand drawn look. Even the preview pics on the site didn't really do it justice. The green of the shirt is also more vibrant than the pics show.
The shirt itself is a Gildan Softstyle, which I haven't come across before. It is a nice weight and really feels super soft. The print is perfectly centered which seems like a small thing, but I have received tees from large, well known companies where the print has been off center. It arrived in a black plastic envelope with the Qwertee bot happily grinning on the label. The real surprise though was when a little packet of lollies fell out of the tee when I held it up for the first time. Turns out this is something they do with all orders. It is always the little things that make our day and thinking about an employee folding that in the middle of my shirt blew me away.
Qwertee has a new shirt every 24 hours. Check them out for yourself.

Land Of Lovecraft
Land Of Lovecraft by nikholmes
I have friends who are World Of Warcraft tragics so I really got a kick out of this tee. It is funny to think that Lovecraft created scarier monsters in print than a whole team of game artists and designers could ever conceive. Cthulhu FTW.

Silly Nameless Terror
Silly Nameless Terror from 6 Dollar Shirts
What a mash up. H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu drawn as Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. You could go reading a lot into this as there are a lot of wild stories about Walt circulating the net. Everything from him beating up children to being a Nazi. I prefer to look at it as a bit of tongue in cheek fun and for just 6 bucks you can't go wrong.
