Anton Szandor LaVey is best known for founding the Church of Satan in 1966 and later writing one of the best-selling books of its time, The Satanic Bible. Musician, photographer, and lion tamer, the “Black Pope” was infamous for his love for provocation and organizing scandalously blasphemous ceremonies under the flashes of media photographers.

Within the pages of this sketchbook, we invite you to discover a more intimate Anton LaVey through a selection of his previously unpublished artworks and sketches. Diane Hegarty, LaVey’s partner for nearly 25 years, encouraged him to catalog the small drawings he liked to scribble on the back of coffee-stained Church of Satan leaflets. LaVey created entertaining caricatures, developed magical symbols, and drew witches to amuse his family.

Anton and Diane’s grandson Stanton Z. LaVey inherited the collection. In February 2009, Stanton held an art show “Anton LaVey - Art Incarnate” at a Los Angeles gallery where he introduced the world to Anton’s art and displayed 13 of the original drawings.

Today the drawings are part of the LaVey Family Archive. Custodian of the collection, Sharon LaVey, considers the art not only family heirlooms, but religious relics and historic artifacts. Selected drawings are on public display at The Graveface Museum. This precious heritage is a testimony to the vivid imagination of one of the most enigmatic personalities of modern esotericism.
