4. Art of Stace
“I’m Stace! I am an artist and hyperfixated Fae Creature from Buffalo, NY. I love to create works with a focus on high detail, odd creature design, dynamic anatomy, and renaissance inspirations. I like to challenge myself with style, and that is clear from my coloring book’s detailed linework, to the vivid visuals in my vibrant color prints, and to the uncanny strangeness of my creature stickers. My favorite things to offer at my table are on-site commissioned art specials, where I will draw anything that strikes the visitor’s fancy.”
