(Modernizing the Masters) Birth of Cthulhu

A reinvention of Creation of Adam by High Renaissance Master artist Michelangelo di Buonarroti Simoni, best known as "Michelangelo". Originally featured on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

The Birth of Cthulhu is the third installment to the Modernizing the Masters collection by artist C.S.Hawks. This parody remake was hand painted from scratch with an experimental method of the Old Way of The Prestige Technique.

 How this art is crafted:

A piece of industrial masonite style panel is cut to size

 Drawing is performed by the hands of our artist.

Once drawn

Painting is performed by the hands of our artist.

Like a copper plate made for pressing vinyl records,

The original painting is crafted.

We call this a variant method of the Old Way of the Prestige Technique because there is no canvas involved, as seen in most other art works crafted by our artist.

Prints of the painting are available for sale in 2 sizes on satin paper card stock that are signed on the back for authenticity by the artist.

A special canvas panel print production is available with embellishment of texture on the canvas print.

The canvas print is made and mounted to it's panel in the way of the “Prestige Technique” as mentioned in other artworks on our page. Hand painted embellishments are brush sculpted by the artist with a unique technique working in acrylic medium, and continuous cure monitoring. Signed on the back for authenticity by the artist.
