Craig Bennett

Craig Bennett received a degree in drawing and painting from the University of Georgia. He moved to Atlanta in 1991, painted paintings; sang songs; filmed films. He returned to school in 2002 and received the Phi Alpha Theta Award for History at Georgia State University. He began making Halloween art several years ago, providing decorations for a neighborhood party. Unsatisfied with commercial Halloween decorations, he decided to make his own: life size witches and ghouls roughly cut from plywood. As interest began to grow, Craig created his Guh Guh and Phangs Haunted Collectables business, naming the business after two of his
principal characters.

Since 2005, Craig has made every attempt to satisfy people’s lust  for the absurd, the macabre, the goofy and obscure with an array of handcrafted wooden collectables and bric-a-brac. Craig also plays in an instrumental music project called Applesauce Tears, providing soundtracks for films yet to be made. 

Guh Guh, Phangs, and friends are made out of the worst materials available: rough plywood with knot-holes, cut with rusty, dull blades and finished with spilled and mopped up exterior paint often "found" at construction sites. But note: they are tough, ready for outdoor display, yet suitable for your parlor, salon, foyer or vestibule.
