New Artwork!
New Artwork!
I posted two of my most popular drawings at a reduced price to help my campaign reach its funding goal, and both sold in less than a day!
With that response, in an effort to further infect the masses with my madness, I’ve lowered the prices of two illustrations that were in “The Black Seas of Infinity” and added my single most popular cover for Jack Bantry’s Splatterpunk zine. All are available on my Kickstarter
See the originals here
Two illustrations sold almost imediately. More have been added to help spread the madness.

New original Art for Sale
New original Art for Sale!
Originally drawn for thr gothic themed clothing company ” Black Hope Curse”, this illustration became a best seller that they featured on different color shirts, a baseball tee, and a hoodie. Most of their sales were at conventions, and the COVID lockdowns killed their business.
I resurrected it and used the drawing as a lo9go for the publishing company I started, Deadguyllc.
The original drawing, in brush and ink on Bristol board, is one of the few illustrations that survived my shop fire, and is now available in my new Kickstarter campaign.

The Twisted Mind of Ryan C. Thomas.
The Twisted Mind of Ryan C. Thomas.
Reading Ryan C. Thomas’s contribution to my first anthology, The Never Dead, made me a fan of his work. This is the illustration I created for his story, ‘Solipsism in the Switchgrass”, wherein an extreme horror rider falls off his bike and injures himself in what turns out to be the wrong field! In a later podcast, Ryan revealed that the inspiration was a very painful hip injury he sustained.

Ryan contributed a very nice blurb for the new Kickstarter campaign-
“Henk delivers an action-packed sci-fi survival thriller that takes you from the darkest parts of the human psyche to the darkest quadrants of space, complete with his signature jaw-dropping artwork!” – Ryan C. Thomas, author of the Hissers trilogy

The lastest addition to my Kickstarter
Whenever I am out in the wetlands, and see little islands of vegetation just struggling to survive amidst a gulf of water that is indifferent to all humanity. Our progress as a species, our dreams. Our goals. I am reminded it’s all nothing in the grand scheme of nature.
On that bright note, I’ve added the original artwork for one of my most popular pieces to the Kickstarter campaign I’m running. Check it out here.

New Rewards
New rewards have been added to the campaign. I just put up, at heavily discounted prices, the original three storyboards that I drew for the graphic novel version of my original story. This is the proposal that Kitchen Sink and then Paradox Press both showed interest in, shortly before they folded.

Discounts on everything from e-books to original artwork! Signed and numbered hardcovers with personalized illustrations! And much more! See what my peers are saying about my work-
“Dan Henk is one of those obnoxious people who won’t settle for being good at just ONE thing. Writer, artist, publisher, and more; he’s got the chops. Check him out!”
-Christine Morga, award-winning horror writer
Through his dark and highly imaginative illustrations, Dan Henk exhibits an unrelenting talent for bringing to life some of the most twisted images and mind-boggling otherworldly horrors to be cast to paper. A punk guerrilla to the illustration world, his work stretches from savage to darkly beautiful, with a unique edge that sends the imagination to worlds beyond our known comprehension. Quite frankly, the man is creativity unbound, depicting the strange and haunting through illustrations from a world of nightmares and chaos, somehow made terrifyingly real…
-Chris Hall, DLS Reviews
“Not since Clark Ashton Smith has a creator been able to capture cosmic horror in art and prose like Dan Henk.”
-Tommy Clark, the King of Folk Horror
“Dan Henk isn’t just insanely talented, but he’s doing his part to keep pen and ink art alive! He deserves your support!”
-Jeff Strand, Bram Stoker award winner, nicknamed “The Clown Prince of Horror”
“Henk delivers an action-packed sci-fi survival thriller that takes you from the darkest parts of the human psyche to the darkest quadrants of space, complete with his signature jaw-dropping artwork!”
-Ryan C. Thomas, author of the Hissers trilogy
