Artist Profile: Ladislav Hanka

Ladislav Hanka was born in America, the son of Czechoslovakian immigrants. If his parents seem to have emerged from another time, it’s because they did; while automobiles were not unknown in Czechoslovakia, only the rich owned them. Most people rode horse-drawn buggies.

Review: 'Jesus Christ Superstar' Finds Clarity in Simplicity at Circle Theatre

Artist Profile: Chapel of Ghouls

When you see Nick Hartman’s work under the alias Chapel of Ghouls, the message is clear: Life is hard. Live it to the fullest. While always fascinated by art, especially music and film, he didn’t necessarily see himself as an artist. But a series of tragic deaths and visits to the hospital throughout his youth later bubbled up in the form of panic attacks, and also as an interest in the dark side of life—goth culture, horror movies, metal music and beyond.
