The Dark Art Society Podcast with Chet Zar

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 talk about my solo show "Life & Death" while I give a little slideshow of the paintings and discuss the concepts behind them. This is a short episode but I've been so busy finishing up for my art show that I haven't been able to book any guests for the past few weeks. So I figured this would be better than nothing!
