CRAIG BENNETT

Craig Bennett received a degree in drawing and painting from the University of Georgia. He moved to Atlanta in 1991, painted paintings; sang songs; filmed films. Unsatisfied with commercial Halloween decorations, he decided to make his own: life size witches and ghouls roughly cut from plywood. As interest began to grow, Craig created his Guh Guh and Phangs. Since 2005, Craig has made every attempt to satisfy people's lust for the absurd, the macabre, the goofy and obscure with an array of handcrafted wooden collectables and bric-a-brac. Craig also plays in an instrumental music project called Applesauce Tears, providing soundtracks for films yet to be made. Guh Guh, Phangs, and friends are made out of the worst materials available: rough plywood with knot holes, cut with rusty, dull blades and finishes with spilled and mopped up exterior paint often found at construction sites. But note: they are tough, ready for outdoor display, yet suitable for your home or office.
