The ART MOST FOUL Kickstarter campaign is LIVE!

This Kickstarter project seeks to fund the publication of an 8.5"x11", 220 page book covering the varied and storied artistic adventures of one Gurchain Singh, AKA The Gurch. Speaking of whom, here’s a project summary, in his own words: 

“Hey there, welcome to my artistic journey laid out in this book, ART MOST FOUL. As you flip through these pages, you're diving into my exploration of dark and unsettling imaginative art. It’s more than just a collection of artworks; it’s a reflection of my passion for all things eerie, macabre, and bizarre, often flavoured with my own twisted sense of humour. I have to say, it’s thrilling to see these ideas that popped into my head over the years now all collected in this handsome yet foul tome. From my very first published pieces to the specially produced works for this collection, you’ll witness how I’ve refined my craft in the spooky worlds of horror and monster art. Each piece tells its own story, some even capable of making the shadows jump, taking you on a journey through my sketches, drawings, and paintings where you can explore my creativity and imagination firsthand. The dedication and detail invested in this book are profound, meticulously designed to heighten its eerie appeal and atmosphere. I hope you find the contents of this book wonderfully strange and strangely wonderful." The Gurch has finally decided to release a few iconic pieces of original art from his collection. Among these are the painted cover for this very book, the cover art for his very first professionally published work (GORE SHRIEK Vol. 2 #1), the cover art of Rabid, and a couple of other pieces. More details from The Gurch himself; “It is very much worth mentioning that acquiring original Gurch art is a rarity because ever since I have been making art, despite being asked repeatedly, I have never sold any of my pieces. This really is the first opportunity for anyone to acquire paintings and drawings by me. Outside of a select few commission jobs (that you could probably count on the fingers of one mangled hand), there is very little found in the hands of collectors. I still own every single piece, except for some early art retained by publishers and a missing package of "lost" art that disappeared over the Atlantic on its way back to me.”
