We need cult rhetoric in this style.
Quote for about 6 images in a similar styling Jason?

If we are talking about me selecting 6 images from 1950's, 60's, and 70's ads and modifying the existing text to something more Cult of Cthulhu... man, just typing that sentence fills my head with ideas... I could do that for $50. Shoot me an email: jason@creativeodditiesstudios.com.

How about: 1. Cthulhu wants you!....(like the army advert) 2. Cthulhu Cures Your Ailments....(tincture of medicine with tentacles wrapped around it) 3. Never mind the Bollocks...Here's Cthulhu! Just a few that came to mind. Awake! DarkPrism

Thanks DP. Here are some of my thoughts (and it will of course depend on the images) 1. Kool-aid, America's Favorite Beverage, fortified with Cthulhu! 2. Finally, Cthulhu has risen from his Emerald City R'lyeh! I'm ready for my close-up Cthulhu! 3. Pulling myself out of the machine has been really hard work! Where are you Cult of Cthulhu? 4. Have you heard? The Cult of Cthulhu is accepting slave girls, this lipstick is a sure thing! 5. To hell with this housework, I want to become my own god too! The Cult of Cthulhu is looking for a few strong men. 6. To hell with this reality, I'm going to be my own god!

I think we should capitalize on established CoC memes such as... Belief is reality.
Something whimsical like... Cthulhuism, Yog-Sothothery, and Raspberry Cheesecake.
Something over the top similar to... Venger Satanis is my emerald messiah!
And quotes from Lovecraft... Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity.
H. P. Lovecraft
and... Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal...
H.P. Lovecraft

@vs, I agree, but it should be witty too - not too cheesy so it loses its meaning, or does not at least provoke people to check out the website.
It's a bonus, that Jason has personal experience and knowledge of the cult. I'm sure he'll come up with something grand.
He needs payment to get started, so let's get this done so we can have the images back from him ASAP.
sorrellart@hotmail.com
This is for his paypal account
$50 for 6 images.
DP said he would throw down $10 Between you and me, that's a done deal.
Anyone else before I transmit funds?

The ads that I am looking at modifying for this project have plenty of text, which will allow for a great deal of modification and the above phrases to be worked in. What I think makes the ads work is using the existing text in an ironic (?) manner. For example, I am thinking about an ad featuring x-ray specs. Everyone has seen this ad. I plan on modifying the text to suggest that participation in the Cult of Cthulhu will have you seeing things differently... seeing is believing... belief is reality. Maybe throwing in "that which is seen cannot be unseen" or something. I will try to strike the right chord between camp and seriousness.

Sounds good. Jason knows where we're coming from as per our suggestions and he's very familiar with the CoC, so I say let him use his best artist's judgement.
I can send you a check for the balance if you're ready to go, Cora'Sahn. Just let me know how much.
