Sculpture and Nomenclature...

First off, I know I owe you all a Spoiler Thread for Leaf 003. It's coming soon, I promise!

In the meantime, I've tried my hand at rock carving. This soapstone Cthulhu is my first attempt but I'm pretty happy with how he's turning out.

Now I have a question for all of you: I feel like this project needs a unique name to differentiate it from other Necronomicon texts. We're all familiar with the "Simon Necronomicon" but I'm afraid the "Christian Necronomicon" doesn't have the same ring to it. A Spanish artist did a series of woodcut prints on Kickstarter under the name "Nictonomicon" and that gave me an idea. For many years (and for multiple reasons) my online handle has been Retrogarde. Therefore, would "Retronomicon" work for folks as a name for this book project (the book itself obviously is still the Necronomicon)? The Retro applies both to me as the author, but also very much to the style and presentation of the work.

Let me know in the comments what you think, and as always, please help spread the word so we can hit 100 Patrons!

Thanks!
