Figuring out how to use John Dee's "voice" in the Necronomicon was an integral part of cracking the project for me. His perspective is a wonderful counterpoint to both Hazred and Sir Randolph.

This Lovecraftian cookbook has some seriously deep cuts of Mythos lore, terrible puns (my favorite!) and outstanding art. I highly reccomend it.
My friend Jon snapped a photo of me working on the next set of pages so here you go. Thanks as always for the support!
