Grim Prim Studio is home to grinning black cats, dancing witches, strange creatures on mysterious errands, all of them part of the eerie and unique folk art by contemporary folk artist D. A. Sweigart!

A Halloween atmosphere pervades each work, with a whimsical touch and vibrant color. Yet there is a sense of something perhaps a bit disturbing... underneath the colors and the smiles... something truly spooky, something WICKED.

From paintings on canvas and one of a kind signs for your haunted home to functional art; cabinets, boxes, trays and more, collectors are enjoying the wit and whimsy in each hand painted piece.

"Growing up with a family of Irish German wit and fanciful tales has certainly shaped my personality. Scared stiff by stories of the bogieman from my Uncle Art, I learned to thrive on the visions from my vivid imagination and thankfully, turned those scary thoughts into art!"

"Halloween has long been my absolute favorite holiday. That, plus a steady diet of television shows like Dark Shadows, The Twilight Zone, The Night Stalker (oh, Darren, I do miss you!) and the Outer Limits all helped mold my tiny brain into the oddity it is today."

Enjoy!
