Welcome to the new "Artist's Circle Of Hell" editorial: a journey through the eyes and thoughts of magnificent Dark Artists.

Today we are delightful to talk with Freakshow Creations, fabulous monster maker from Boston. Enjoy the interview!

First circle - Limbo

How old is your soul? Do you have an inner child?

New soul, but a quick learner!

Second circle - Lust

Before you have reached your artistic path, have you ever instinctively tried different fields that did not appeal to you, just for the sake of it? Are you still in search for your art style?

I 'm always down to try out a new style even if it doesn't initially appeal to me. When you are working in multimedia you never know what art skills and techniques might come in handy for your next project.

Third circle - Gluttony

How hungry are you for the art, for your passion? How much are you addicted and addicted to it, moving away from your perception of reality?

Hungry for art? I eat clay for breakfast! Just kidding, but I am pretty psyched to get my stuff out there. I've been sculpting toys and figures for years but making an Instagram account has really fueled the fire.

Fourth circle - Greed

Sometimes, do you feel greedy with your job? Do you think that a strong attachment to money can compromise your art? No intention to offend, but only to explore what goes beyond being a "starving artist".

Art should be obtainable. If I could make art just to give it away as gifts I would - that being said I still need to pay my power bill so check out my extremely reasonably priced art on my own shop.

Fifth circle - Anger

How you see the Art World today? There are some stuff that make you uncomfortable?

I am uncomfortable with the idea that most people don't have a single thing in their home that they made themselves. I wish people would stop buying framed vomit from Walmart and open a sketchbook once in a while.

Sixth circle - Heresy

Have you ever done a project or commission totally different from your kind of art? (for example, as fairy art, erotic art, fantasy art or comic art)

Someone asked me to make a wedding topper once, and although I personally think skulls and gargoyles are a great addition to any cake, the couple was having a "woodland theme" and the dress code was strictly no monsters.

Seventh circle - Violence

Are you afraid to represent cruel stuff of the reality in your art? If not, it goes beyond the simple visual impact?

I'm into creepy, not cruel.

Eighth circle - Fraud

Without naming, have you ever been deceived by a false customer or company? What was your initial feeling? Do you want to give some advice to those who are new in this field? Don't worry if you do not want to answer.

I prefer do not answer, thanks.

Ninth circle - Treachery

Would you ever exchange your life as artist with a safer and quieter life? What would you do if you could not make art?

If I couldn't make art I'd spend all my time reading - books are like art for your brain.
