Our first Folk Horror Revival Young Artist of the Month

Our Young Artist of the Month for April is Harry Stagg.

Harry is 8 years old and is from East London. He enjoys acting and karate and watching cartoons with his dad. His favourite cartoons are Regular Show, Invader Zim and Ghostbusters. His favourite band is Guns & Roses and his favourite song is Jukebox Hero by Foreigner. Harry really enjoys ghosts and monsters and is learning to play Magic The Gathering (he has already beaten his dad multiple times.)

Harry wants to grow up to be an artist and thanks to the support of the members of Folk Horror Revival, he is more determined than ever and is already planning to make it happen.

Harry’s wonderful drawing of a gargoyle fired the imagination of the admin team and we think he truly captures the essence of his subject. Well done Harry, and congratulations on being our very first Young Artist of the Month.

If you know a young artist aged 16 or under who you feel has produced artwork worthy of inclusion, please email us with “Young Artist” in the title to (folkhorrorrevival@gmail.com). Please remember to include the young artist’s name, age and a short profile, along with a copy of their work.
