About the Artwork:
“THE GUN and it’s companion piece THE GUNSLINGER are part of my Western Lovecraft universe that I’m slowly building out, wherein a western town and its surrounding area are being slowly consumed by creatures beyond the veil. The Gunslinger is one of the poor souls that has been affected by this intrusion but not completely corrupted by it, he still retains his humanity while carrying the affliction of the eldritch gods on his skin.” – Andrew Sides
