Dark Art & Craft had a chance to talk this month with U.K.-based artist and illustrator Adrian Baxter. Baxter's ink creations are methodically-detailed works based on the occult, nature, and death. This intriguing interview focuses on Baxter's influences and process; please enjoy.

We have some exciting things coming your way from Dark Art & Craft. Starting this summer, we'll be releasing curated collections of prints and merchandise available for a limited time only. To start the series off, we are pleased to announce we're starting with a careful selection of work from Gustave Dore, named Fire & Sulphur as a homage to Midsummer's rituals and traditions. 

One of our favorite Fantasy Artists at Dark Art & Craft is master oil painter Frank Frazetta. Over his long career Frazetta produced detailed art for Conan the Barbarian, Tarzan, John Carter of Mars and countless others. Frazetta defined the Fantasy and Science-Fiction art genres and at the same time transcended the rather orthodox world of pulp book covers and comic art to make his own name. 

This month we are honored to be featuring the work of Seattle-based painter Ego Shoreclay online in our web store. We had the opportunity to ask him a few questions about his transition to working as a full time painter, the evolution of art galleries and his advice to other creatives looking to take their art to the next level.
