Way back in December 2019, in the before times, Alexis met Candice Huber, owner of Tubby & Coo’s Mid-City Book Shop, for the first time, and we discovered that we not only have the same wedding anniversary, but we’re also both huge nerds. Candice had this idea to do some type of “Louisiana Monster Compendium,” but they can’t draw even a stick person, and Alexis got really excited about the idea. Thus, Carnival of Creatures was born. Alexis did ALL the artwork, and Candice wrote most of the content. Alexis and Candice worked together on the actual monsters, including the descriptions and “Legend Has It” sections. Candice handles the business side of publishing, logistics, and graphic design, and Alexis happily does EVERY BIT of the drawing and collaborates on marketing as well. We think we make a great team, and we hope you enjoy our passion project!
