Lake David Park – April 26, 2025

Our second year grew a little, with over 200 attendees, and the introduction of food trucks, Itasha vehicles, and live bands. The vibes were great, the cosplays were amazing, and everybody did their part to make everyone feel at home.

Thank you to the City of Groveland!

Seriously, the City of Groveland is awesome. The Parks & Rec department really stands by their mission. We could not have done this without their support.

The Fluffy Calf Studios

Hi there! I’m Kaylynn and I run The Fluffy Calf Studios with my husband. I hand draw my own characters and fanart to create prints, waterproof stickers, bookmarks, dice bags, and notebooks. My art spans multiple fandoms but is primarily anime/cartoon and gaming based with characters from Pokémon, Adventure Time, Zelda, and Kirby for example. My goal is to make doing my art and running my small business my full time position so I may one day have a sanctuary farm.

I’m an artist who loves bringing his ideas to life from pen to paper. I also enjoy improving my art skills anyway I can. You can’t get better if you’re too comfortable in your own comfort zone. I mainly draw characters like Sonic the Hedgehog. Series and media that I love normally I end up on my next art piece.
