I co-founded PopZilla Gallery alongside Sam Carter with the goal of curating pop culture inspired art exhibitions throughout Orange County, California. We launched our first shows at Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim and went on to produce a series of exhibitions at Pop Comics, also in Anaheim, helping build a platform for emerging and established artists within the pop art community.
More recently, I’ve continued exhibiting alongside fellow PopZilla artists at Knott’s Berry Farm, contributing to curated shows such as “Tied Up in Knott’s” during the Boysenberry Festival and “Into the Fog” during Knott’s Scary Farm.
Bringing Otis and Gecko to Life – Knott’s Scary Farm 2026
I've been a fan of Knott's Scary Farm since I was in high school, and fog-filled streets of Ghost Town is the best Scare Zone in the scare Industry.
For over a decade, Otis and Gecko have been terrorizing guests and becoming two of the most recognizable faces of Ghost Town. After creating my Zbrush sculpture of Lilith: The Bride of Ghost Town for last year's tribute art show, I knew I wanted to follow it up with this infamous monster duo.
I had a blast bringing these two characters to life in sculptural form, capturing their unique personalities and the details that make them so memorable. One of the most rewarding parts of the project was seeing the positive reactions from fellow Scary Farm fans at this year's Into the Fog art show. It's always exciting to share my work with people who have the same appreciation for these characters and the history of Scary Farm.
Now comes the hard part... figuring out which Scary Farm monster do I pay tribute to next year! The fog is full of possibilities.
In previous years, I created illustrations for the Knott’s Berry Farm “Tied Up in Knott’s” Art Show during the Boysenberry Festival. This year, I expanded my approach by producing a 3D print based on a ZBrush sculpture I created of the Milton C. Howell character from Ghost Town Alive.
“You get a little trail dust from this town on your shoes, adventure will follow you the rest of your days” - Milton C. Howell
Lilith: The Bride of Ghost Town Streets was my first ZBrush-designed sculpture created for 3D printing, developed for the “Into the Fog” art show at Knott’s Scary Farm. The Bride has long been one of my favorite characters in the Ghost Town Streets scare zone, and this piece was an opportunity to interpret her in a stylized, collectible form.
Unlike traditional masked characters, the current Bride performer uses detailed makeup, allowing for a greater range of emotional expression. She carries a candle that casts dynamic light across her face, enhancing both her presence and the atmosphere around her. Combined with her slow, deliberate movements through the streets as she stalks unsuspecting guests, she creates a uniquely immersive experience.
My goal with this sculpture was to capture those defining traits, her elegance, subtle menace, and distinctive lighting while translating them into a stylized figure that maintains the spirit of the original performance.
