Upcoming Events
Worlds of Fun HAUNT
I am so excited to be back at Worlds of Fun Haunt this season working on specialty characters. Unfortunately that means I wont be at markets much over the next two months. Keep an eye out for events coming in November and onward!
If you’re buying tickets to come out to Worlds of Fun this season, you’ll also have access to a Gallery of spooks hosted by the Art Garden in Kansas City. My poster “Demon’s Web” will be available for sale here as well! So swing by and save a little on shipping costs if you’ve been wanting to snag the poster for yourself. *Pricing will still differ because of the additional fee they’ll take for selling.
Thank you again for your support and I hope you enjoy all the themed content!
