Sprung from the dreamworld of star-faring eldrich creatures, in which
great Cthulhu himself was tormenting a corseted woman with the sweet,
savory temptation of pastry desserts, Echo says Dessert Cthulhus are not about sexual
enticement, but the maddening horror women feel while attempting
to balance a life of beauty and dessert.
"I was working in my studio one day in March and I got the Blue Screen of
Death. So while my hard drive rebuilt, I laid down on my studio sofa
and took a nap. In my dream, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the image
of Cthulhu driving this poor corseted damsel with temptation of pie.
Being a woman - that particular torture is very close to me. When I
awoke the image hadn't left and I was compelled to sketch it out...
thinking that it would turn out like crap and I could put it aside - but
it didn't. It was beautiful. So then I sat down to do a color study,
thinking that the sickly-otherworldy-green would ruin the piece - but it
didn't. Two weeks later she was does - and I hadn't worked on any other
projects at all - including the client piece I had been working on when
my computer crashed originally."
