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.
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.
Over the past year, I’ve been working with the Anycubic Photon M3 Max resin printer, gaining hands-on experience and refining my understanding of the 3D printing process. I’m very pleased with how this piece turned out and plan to continue developing similar figurine prints for future art shows and my Etsy store.
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.
