François Gautier is a French artist who has a passion for creation in all forms. After studying in the Applied Arts, Product Design, and Architecture sectors, he set up a workshop to experiment in illustration, design, sculpture, and glasswork. He now focuses on black and white illustration, which he views as his favorite means of expression. Dark Art is his first coloring book.

AN EVER-POPULAR SUBJECT: Pop culture has a long-standing love affair with spooky and fun visuals. Fans drive the cult status of creators like Tim Burton and recently made HBO's Lovecraft Country a breakout horror series; now, they'll finally have a high-quality coloring book that aligns with that creepy, entertaining aesthetic.

INTRICATE, BEAUTIFUL, AND DELIGHTFULLY CREEPY: Francois Gautier's striking illustrations give consumers the best of both worlds: a satisfying coloring experience and a unique, gothic style perfect for the season.

GIFTY TIMING AND FORMAT: This is the perfect project for two established trends-the coloring market as well as for seasonal promotions in the fall and at the holidays. Better yet, interest in this dark, gothic style and scary themes abounds year-round, as spring and summer releases of spooky shows like Stranger Things and Lovecraft Country and horror movies like Midsommar can attest.
