Tomorrow it's time for the weirdos to have their moment in the sun 🖤.

To say I've been prepping for a few months is an understatement. I've been tucking frames away since my last show in September for this. I only do a few shows a year so skip the shipping, and come on out!

FIND ME AT — Dark Odd Artists 2026!

A curated vendor market featuring 25+ Dark Odd Artists .odd.artists will appeal to fans, artists and art collectors interested in Dark Art. Presented by the Halifax Oddities & Curiosities Show.

Macabre, surreal, morbid, fantasy, sci fi, Goth, spooky, horror, unsettling, bizarre, & creepy!

Paintings, posters, prints, collage, photography, illustration, digital art, sculpture, 3D creations, carvings, dioramas, wearable art and more!
