My art is made from the heart using sustainable and recyclable pieces. I spend my spare time protesting and creating protest pieces. I also design elaborate headdresses and costuming like we do in New Orleans. My favorite medium is florals! But I love to design knock out, one of a kind pieces. I've been featured in the NY Times, WWD, Daily News, Rolling Stone, New York Post, AM News, and more!

I help people and companies create, curate, and circulate information with AI. Costume Network team member.

Evil Ted has worked in the movie industry doing visual effects, prop, and model making for 30 years. He’s known around the world for his YouTube tutorials teaching cosplayers how to make foam armor and props. After many years of working in Hollywood, Evil Ted decided it was time to take all the tips and tricks he learned over the years and make them available to the everyday builder. He wants to take the intimidation out of building. He is a firm believer that it’s passion over talent, and that anyone can learn to build. He loves cosplay and the community and loves supporting and assisting new builders in the learning process.

I’m an artist, designer, and builder focused on creating large-scale physical art. My work blends sculpture, mixed media, and fabrication, often using recycled materials from commercial projects. Whether it’s immersive installations, custom furniture, or experimental pieces, the goal is always to push creative and technical boundaries. Beyond the studio, creativity extends into performance—modeling, stage work, and music—exploring the intersection of art, movement, and experience. Adventure fuels it all, from sailing and climbing to constantly seeking new ways to connect with the world.
