Happy Halloween from Dark in the Dark. Here’s my costume. I know it’s just a cape, but it’s really cool!
In the last picture there, I’m giving a ride to the Diabolical Dr. Francois.
Happy Halloween!!!

A big Happy Birthday to Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Born August 20, 1890, H.P. Lovecraft wrote some of the most chilling fiction ever penned. Lovecraft is best known for being the creator of Cthulhu. He passed away on March 15, 1937. Happy Birthday H.P. Lovecraft!
After two weeks of MAD TEA not being about Etsy Artists, we return to our regularly scheduled programming with Black Fez Studios. This is MAD TEA. MAD TEA stands for Monster Art Dolls Toy Etsy Artists. It’s a stretch I know. See this page for details about MAD TEA.
Jorge Squidleigh
One of the first things that attracted me to this store was that they have an international flair. Monsters named Jorge are so much more interesting than the usual “Paul”, “Frank”, or “Suzie”. You know what I mean? Also, is it me, or could this guy be a character from Where the Wild Things Are? The monsters sold by Black Fez Studios are crocheted and painted. Some of them come with certificates, which I always think is a bonus.
Voluptuous Mermaid Vivian
I’ve mentioned in the past that I’m not particularly fond of mermaids. This one, however, exudes a certain charm.
Kay Thoolwho Eldritch Horror
Last we have a monster suspiciously named Kay Thoolwho. Am I the only one who thinks this sounds a lot like Cthulhu? They must not have been able to get licensing from the monster himself. Maybe I’ll put in a good word for them.
Overall, I found these items very appealing. It could be the playfulness of them, the sheer horror, or maybe how their stitched-on faces make me think of Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Who can say? There is much more at Black Fez. You should check it out. Well, that’s it for this week’s installment of MAD TEA. See you next week for more Monster Art Doll Toy Etsy Artists.
Normally on Mondays I do MAD TEA, which stands for Monster Art Dolls Toy Etsy Artists. It’s a stretch I know. See this page for details about MAD TEA. Today instead of cool monsters on Etsy I want to talk about a cool H.P. Lovecraft monster at another place. I’ve become an affiliate there because I want to sell a million of these things.
It’s a Lovecraftian Nyarlethotep and it’s pretty awful-looking. I mean somebody did a really good job. Check out the impossible anatomy! I don’t know about you, but the horse legs really get to me. Besides being IMPOSSIBLE TO SPELL, Nyarlethotep is a monster described in a rather brief but haunting story, and is otherwise known as the “crawling chaos”.
“My friend said they were horrible and impressive beyond my most fevered imaginings; and what was thrown on a screen in the darkened room prophesied things none but Nyarlathotep dared prophesy, and in the sputter of his sparks there was taken from men that which had never been taken before yet which showed only in the eyes. And I heard it hinted abroad that those who knew Nyarlathotep looked on sights which others saw not.” – H.P. Lovecraft from Nyarlethotep 1920
Yeah! They also have a pretty mean-looking Cthulhu statue. Here’s more information about (and more photos of) the Nyarlethotep at Sideshow Collectibles.
