You might consider friending Jérome's journal for regular art updates. I repost his latest post as a taster.





I just love drawing menacing cultist ! I like the enigmatic face, questionning the viewer, is it a mask ! A cthulhu face ? my grandma ?
This last pic is for the "suprise" book for Trail of Cthulhu that might be (if the stars are with us) at gencon indy.

I now have my plane tickets for gencon so you will see me there (well if you want to !)
I will be signing books at Pelgrane place. Well, maybe not all the time, as it is the first time I come to this great convention. Simon Rogers will plane some signing sessions I guess.
I am pretty excited, mostly because I will be with the Pelgrane team (Kenneth, Robin, Sacha, Ralf, Steve), not only job partners, but enjoyable fellows that I don't see enough... lost I am in the east of France...
I also hope to play some game, wich I never have a chance to busy drawing for enthousiastic fans !!! wich is a very enjoyable feeling too ! and a great exercice ! you have to creat a cool drawing in about 10 minutes with no computer help or image references...

Shadows has been printed, and will be out shortly. Here is the French cover for your edification. The illustration was an interior in our more pulpy cover.

Tough interview? Sometimes only caffeine will do.



This image (by Jerome, of course) will be the front cover of Hard Helix, the first set of adventures for Mutant City Blues by Robin D Laws.

Another Shadows image from the adventure White Bokor - a sequel to the atmospheric 1932 movie White Zombie.

Date: 2008-07-14 12:10 Subject: Shadows over Filmland Security: Public Tags: art, gumshoe, pelgrane, shadows over filmland, trail of cthulhu

The cover for the forthcoming Trail of Cthulhu supplement Shadows Over Filmland, a collection of adventures for Cthulhu inspired by the creatures and tropes of the silver screen. The art is by Jérome, of course. I've been told that putting the word Cthulhu on the cover will increase sales substantially, I'm considering a Cthulhu-related swipe line which fits in with the movie, and yet lets the casual browser know what the book is all about. Any thoughts?

For Shadows Over Filmland, a new Trail of Cthulhu adventure series, Jee is working on a silver screen style with spooky lighting and dry ice. Here's an example from his blog:


Edit: As Robin points out in the comments, I mis-titled this. I'll save the "GSL Goodness" for another day.

An example from one of our beta testers (Robert J Defendi) of a quick City Designer 3 map using Sean Thomas's style. The shadows on the ground don't currently match the roof, but that'll be fixed shortly.

Here is Jerome's cover for the forthcoming GM's Resource Book and Screen. Simon Carryer, who wrote three excellent articles for See Page XX has produced the first draft of the resource book. For abilities and occupations it includes historical information, practices, equipment, clues and special benefits for point spends, as well as a collection of useful NPCs .

I received these images from Mark Walker. He has created these extraordinary Lovecraftian artefacts using a combination of printing and reprinting, pasting images (no, not using software) creating entire scripts as AutoCAD blocks, and paper ageing techniques. I've made a number of suggestions, but if you have any ideas as to how Mark might sell his work, by all means post here, or contact him.

Date: 2008-03-19 15:28 Subject: The Trail of Cthulhu Launch party - and no hangover! Security: Public Tags: art, gumshoe, pelgrane, trail of cthulhu

First, thanks to everyone who attended the launch party for Trail of Cthulhu and Axe Initiative Games. I had a great time, and I felt the spirit of the pseudo-1930s. The splendidlydiamorgan DJ'd. I discussed an enormous world-spanning adventure with cavalorn, talked of roleplaying and music with James Semple and Gabriella, and Paul of Cthulhu kept up the Yog-Sothoth end. We allowed one gatecrasher in on the basis that he answered three questions about HP Lovecraft. Even the gatecrashers were erudite.


Second, I'm pleased to say that we've sold through well over half of our initial print run of 2000. I'll be considering my reprint options after the next retail order cycle. I will be in the same position as when I started - do I risk an offset print run or switch to paperback POD?

Finally, Stunning Eldritch Tales, our first ToC release is in layout. Here is another image from Jérome:
