Renaissance man Clive Barker might make some people a little, well, scared. After all, Barker's range of talents can be intimidating, since he's as skilled an artist and writer as he is a filmmaker. But it's hard for us to remain disturbed very long, especially when Barker invited us to fly out to LA last week to visit a jaw-droppingly gorgeous exhibit of his paintings and drawings. We'll have video coverage of our visit up soon, including an exclusive interview in which Barker divulges all on his latest film projects, including The Thief of Always, Book of Blood and Midnight Meat Train. But for now, know that the exhibit runs through the month of December at Bert Green Fine Art in downtown Los Angeles, and culminates in a special signing of the exhibit's catalog, with Barker himself, next week. (Now wouldn't a signed catalog make a terrific gift for the Barker fan in your life?)
