In anticipation of Valentines Day, Chad Savage has posted 5 new Valentine-themed art prints on his Etsy.com store. Head over to http://ChadSavage.etsy.com to view/purchase Hallontine, Spider Valentine, The Halloween Lovers, Vile Valentine 1 and Vile Valentine 2. 8″ x 10″ archival-quality signed & numbered prints.

They call Valentines Day a “Hallmark Holiday”… well, not anymore! Turn it into Hallontines Day and give that spooky boil or ghoul in your life a card that reflects how you REALLY feel, courtesy of the Cult of the Great Pumpkin!

5 designs available, 3 featuring artwork by dark artist Chad Savage, 2 featuring original imagery created just for these cards. There’s even a vampire-friendly one!

Courtney Mroch over at HauntJaunts.com interviewed me recently : http://hauntjaunts.net/blog/2009/11/21/an-interview-with-dark-artist-and-visual-designer-chad-savage/

The Dark Artists Guild interviewed me in October – check it out at http://darkartistsguild.blogspot.com/2009/09/artist-interview-chad-savage-sinister.html

Graveside Tales is taking orders for their new anthology “Harvest Hill“, a series of stories set on Halloween in various years in a fictional Tennessee town called Harvest Hill. Given my love of all things Halloween, GT asked me to write the Afterward for the book, and I even provided some appropriately-themed art for the final pages. The stories I’ve read so far are really, really good, and I can’t wait to read it cover to cover.

It’s finally happened. After 40+ years of drawing and painting creepy stuff, I’ve been asked to be the Artist Guest of Honor at Orycon 32, November 2010, the theme of which will be (appropriately enough) “The Dark Side of Fantasy”. Details will eventually be posted at http://www.orycon.org.

I finally took a couple of days to update this, my artwork showcase site. It’s been years and a long time coming. Bear with me as I put it together.

Sinister Visions Head Honcho Chad Savage will have two new paintings showing at Gallery Provocateur’s 2009 Annual Halloween Exhibition in Chicago, headlined by none other than Clive Barker.
