Become an Official Member of the Dark Art Society! www.patreon.com/DarkArtSociety This week I finally interview one of my most coveted guests, the one, the only, RICK BAKER!!! Rick has his first solo show of paintings opening May 10th at Copro Gallery https://www.copronason.com/, so I wanted to interview him as a painter and dark artist instead of the usual focus on his legendary career as a 7 time Academy Award winning makeup up effects creator (for films like "An American Werewolf in London", the "Men in Black" films, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" etc.) And while we do talk quite a bit about painting and dark art, we also talk plenty about the film industry and his long and storied career as well as lots of personal feelings about life in general. This interview was a dream come true for an monster kid like me, and Rick did not disappoint! You are gonna LOVE this one!

Become an Official Member of the Dark Art Society! www.patreon.com/DarkArtSociety This week I speak with the legendary Justin Bua! This interview went in many different directions, but much was discussed about the realities of being a fine artist in today's climate, AI, his early success selling millions of posters, working on television and on films, the spirituality of art and a ton of other cool stuff. We will be doing a part 2 in the near future. Also, a quick art life update with my recent experience with the CA fires near my home.

Become an Official Member of the Dark Art Society! www.patreon.com/DarkArtSociety This week, my good friend/artist/sculptor/makeup effects artist Ryan K. Peterson talk about one of my favorite horror films (and one of the greatest horror films ever made), George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" from 1978. This film definitely deserves its own DAS episode...and here it is! Also, a quick art life update.
