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!

the RAYMAR Painting award,
Victoria Olt Gallery Drawing award,
Yasha Young Projects Sculpture award,
Photography award,
Digital Art award,
and the Catherine K Gyllerstrom Emerging Artist Award.
There is a brand new jury panel this year so it’s a brand new chance to win!
As well as the whole host of cash and product prizes, winners will also be invited to exhibit in the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine exhibition at Haven Gallery in Northport, NY alongside 70 of the world’s best contemporary representational artists in October 2025.
Better yet - the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine team guarantee that they look at every single entry! This is a great way to get on their radar for future opportunities too. AND they also share many of the entries on their social media and in online blogs from now until entries close on 17th July.
