Georgia Pakadakis, also known as the Midnight Bandit. is a nefarious plotter from whom we had all best keep well away. Under cover of darkness, she relies on her raccoon-DNA stealth to sneak her sigils into local art establishments, restaurants, and gift shops. The next morning, the shopkeepers are sure they remember arranging for a display of works by a cheerful and talented young artist, and smile appreciatively at what appear to be brightly rendered fantastical creatures. The sigils work their magic as surely as they hide their true nature, and wild mushrooms sprout behind the cash register. Should one be tempted to take one of these sigils home as a decorative diversion, beware and be warned, for raccoon magic is afoot. Soon you will believe that what you possess is the work of a lovely and personable artist with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, prestigious awards, and impeccable social charms and graces. You will turn to your spouse or your mother and you will say, “see the lovely mermaid?” To which he or […]

From the furthest reaches of the earth, to the friendlier corners of various otherworlds, elseworlds and sideworlds, come relics, artifacts, missives, artworks, monuments, and other curiousities we wish to share with choice members of the public sector – as a token of our appreciation, and to make reparations for those various unfortunate incidents of this past year, and to demonstrate the merits and benefits of having our well-meaning establishment located your wise and forgiving community, Arkham, our home.
Here you will find many curious and strange works, meant to inspire not fear, but wonder and awe, to the most well-educated, inquisitive, and scholarly of art lovers, historians, anthropologists, and supernaturalists. To the common man, these things might be seen as horrid if not horrifying, and we are only grateful for those who, like you, are wise and curious enough to appreciate these rare works.
That said, we hold ourselves irresponsible for what effects such splendor might have upon your mind and body, and trust that by your being here, you are learned and cautious enough to conduct your exploration safely – most importantly, not allowing yourself to touch or be touched by wonderous items in our splendid collection.
Myke Amend
Myke Amend grew up in a sleepy little town called Cincinnati, Ohio, a place not far from Earth, nestled at the outer edge of the Milky Way galaxy. Since long before his anticipated arrival, he has spent many aeons painting, drawing, engraving, and dreaming the death of mankind and the end of all life was we know it —and dreaming the days gone by (He also designs handbills and aethernet ‘sites’ for the evil corporate faces of the mysterious Elder gods). In a time heavily influenced by hotel heiresses, boy bands, game shows, reality TV, and people who wrestle each other for spheroids, he has been influenced greatly by Earth ages present and past — longing for a return to those days where human society turned its ugly head towards more meaningful things such as science and invention, exploration, literature, and the arts. Out of this comes a love for anachronistic art mediums, styles, and concepts—mixing them with modern materials, themes, or subject matter, and twisting them into horrid, the surreal, or the bizarre for reasons most […]
