Dark Arts Doodles
Hello my name is Stephen and I’m an artist from Liverpool UK. I go by the name of Folklore, which I can assure you isn’t me trying to be trendy or stylish, but it was a way for me to become invisible as a person.
You see, I lack in confidence and have great difficulty in showing anything I create. I don’t have a specific style or flair for anything in particular, so most of the pieces I scribble are a cross between surreal cartoons, caricature and dark illustration. I’m definitely more suited in the underground scene and fully acknowledge that my work isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I’ve struggled for years internally plucking the courage to fully showcase anything, but thought it was now or never!
Inspired by my love of horror, film and pop-culture I’ve coined the title ‘Dark Arts Doodles’. Most of the work I create is light-hearted doodles of my favourite characters and films, but every once in a while I’ll sketch a more serious piece depending were my head-space is.
I’m very serious about my work and would love people to enjoy it as much as I like creating it. I’m stepping out into the world for the first time with my art in the hope that people may view it, understand it and hopefully want to purchase one.
I’m open to doing commission work, custom pieces, unorthodox tattoo flash and possibly a comic book with the right person.
I will be exhibiting some of my work at HorrorCon UK on the 9/10th July in Sheffield and I’m also in the process of exhibiting some at various other venues across the Liverpool area TBA.
For every piece I sell a donation will be made to the wonderful charity ‘Mind.Org.UK’, supporting people with Mental Health.
I thank you so much in taking the time out to view my doodles.

- By Dave Dubrow
Taking the title of Comet Press’s anthology Year’s Best Hardcore Horror Volume 1 at face value rather than a product of the editors’ preferences is a disquieting proposition, but we’ll go with it. There’s a great deal to be learned about the horror genre as it stands today from this collection, some of it good, some of it dismaying.
REVIEW: Delusion
- By MovieCritic NextDoor It's rough moving on after the death of a loved one... especially when you're hallucinating that deceased loved one, among other things.BOOK REVIEW: Run To Ground
- By Dave Dubrow Jasper Bark’s Run to Ground is a story of unusual power, showcasing Bark’s skill at taking the indescribable and making it completely, dreadfully real. Despite its fast pace it’s still a bit self-indulgent in its length, combining flashbacks and a cast of characters that could have been shortened to maximize the narrative’s punch.INTERVIEW: Stephen Manley
