#94 The Ub'thulhu Fez

"Oh, Who is the ancient evil that sleeps beneath the sea, ph'nglui mglw'nafh ~gurggle~coff~ *thud*..." The theme for this year’s H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival was Fun and we decided to embody that in a fez design. The concept for Ub’thulhu first appeared in a sketch I did on a box earlier this year and I received a few requests to put him on a fez, so when I got word that this year’s fest was going to feature a number of cartoons I realized it had to be done.

#93 The Elder Sign Fez

A special limited edition of 13 created for the H. P. Lovecraft Film Fest. This fez features the Elder Sign, a symbol to protect oneself from the Deep Ones as envisioned by HPL himself.

Wear this fez and you too will...

Not only is this an event that takes place at the Warner Grand, one of the last remaining Art Deco movie palaces in our area, it also celebrates the incredibly influential writing of H...

#37 The Cthulhu Prototype Fez

They say that even glimpsing his visage is enough to drive a man insane, what would spending hours designing an embroidery do to me? Then I remembered that I'm the guy that thought hand-making "Fine Embroidered Velvet Fezzes" was a reasonable business venture and I realized that no one would notice much difference. Cthulhu was created by beloved horror writer H. P. Lovecraft in 1926. By the 1940's Lovecraft's mythos had grown a...
