Last year I was lucky enough to visit Providence (Rhode Island), the beautiful city where Lovecraft was born. Enraptured by the peculiar atmosphere of the place, I took a lot of pictures with my camera, in order to manipulate them and create some Lovecraftian artworks. Anyway, when I started to use digital techniques on my picture I felt like something was missing: a genuine handmade touch. So I printed the photomanipulated picture and started to use pencils on it, trying to achieve the result I was looking for. This work was then chosen to partecipate to the Ars Necronomica 2015 Exposition in Providence and I think nothing could have made me happier than that. Hope you like it. It was a lot of fun to do.
