Step Right Up–Lovecraftian Sideshow Art on Kickstarter

     Much to my wife’s annoyance, I just can’t keep off my Kickstarter app.  Sitting in the doctor’s office (a frequent happening for me lately)  or waiting for my daughter to wrap up her play rehearsal…I just can’t NOT look to see what’s new.  One of the first things I usually do is search the keywords, “Cthulhu” and “Lovecraft.”   A couple of days ago, I hit upon this project. And while there’s only about a week left in the campaign, I still have to drop a plug for the Lovecraft Inspired Sideshow Art Series by Midnight Circle LLC.

It’s Evil and It’s Inflatable

“In his house behind the couch, Cthulhu waits dreaming.”
                                                    –H.P. Lovecraft (sorta)

     I like inflatable stuff.  Used to have a 5′ green inflatable alien in my old bedroom.  I don’t exaggerate when I say “It really tied the room together.”

     Recently, while searching “Cthulhu” on Amazon, I came across the Inflatable Cthulhu Arm. Went right into the ol’ Shopping Cart and arrived at my door three days later.  Of course, as is often the case with me, I bought it before I’d thought about what I’d actually do with it.  Luckilly, inspiration hit quickly and it now resides behind the Nerd Cave couch.  My kids love it. My cats love it. My wife…well, she didn’t give me much on it, but I think she secretly digs it.  I offered to buy one for our room but she hasn’t gotten back to me on that yet.

      Now I just need to find a place to fit in a 5′ green inflatable alien…
