Huuuge thank you to @nwfearfest for selecting my @macplantdraws artwork after their contest to be used on the passes and posters this year! Very excited and grateful for the opportunity!

They have a ton of movies showing (and they’re not all super scary ones) from Oct 14-Oct 18 showing at @themetrocinema (I will partake in some of the less scary ones because I’m a sissy. Sorry, Cannibal Holocaust)

A great chance to visit The Garneau Theatre which is such a cool venue! Please share this for them to help promote such a legendary place!

Also go check out @roxanaxenia for the winning poster submission for the contest, and to see her great work!
