Trip or treat? The HAE and the Burning Man... The Annual Halloween Art Exhibit was more than honored to participate in a benefit for of all organizations...the Burning Man Foundation! Yes, that's right gang, The BM's Chicago chapter held a live painting demonstration/ rave called "Entheon" hosted by psychedelic artist icon Alex Grey (He's on the latest "Tool" CD cover). A 30" x 30" Black Cat 13! print donated by the HAE was well received during the 7pm - 5am paint a-thon/party, the auction held on the following day. It was no surprise that every esoteric person we encountered claimed Halloween as their favorite Holiday. Do we see Halloween Mandalas in the future? I think you know the answer to that one.

HAE Artist/ Member selected by H.R. Giger for art exhibition in Switzerland
Brad Moore made a recent trip to the snowy alps for an art exhibition not like many others...in H.R. Giger's castle! Most of us already familiar with the legendary artist who gave us the great "Alien" creature design, numerous album covers, illos for the Necronomicon, etc., would die for the chance for a one-on-one artist talk, let alone be hand picked for an exhibition with him! Brad Moore's no stranger to CD covers and Gigeresque - type illustrations, earning him a rightful place among dark art artists and afficianados everywhere. If you care to read his lady Diana's journal of the trip, click here....
