Project Leshy

The Concept

Fractal Fest 2023 I was invited to take part in an exclusive photo-shoot. These masks have been featured in Vogue magazine, worn on the runway during Paris Fashion week.

At some point, I thought “damn, this would make a really cool stilt walking headpiece”

2 weeks later, I ordered a $600 mask, which locked me into making a 4 legged Leshen inspired stilt walking costume. Below are some pictures I took when building the costume

Final Outcome

Mid October I took the costume to FearTown haunted house. I took photos and video with their fog machine, and a week later all the work I had put into making the Leshen inspired costume paid off with a single booking. Over the entire haunt season, the costume made me over 3k in gig work for the Fall season.

This is a victory for all the wood spirits out there, and also myself.
