After graduating high school he began his professional career as a silversmith, then goldsmith, painter and sculptor, visual designer and art director.
After a move to Austin Texas for the express goal of finding his way into the film industry, he created notable sculptural elements for many major films, soon moving on to Los Angeles.
His film credits include “Texas Chainsaw Massacre II”; “Honey I shrunk the Kids”; “007 License to Kill”, “Stargate”; “Coneheads”; and “Chronicles of Riddick” to name a few.
Other large scale sculpture installments were completed for themed environments around the globe. Some notable examples are “The Lost City” in South Africa, “Venus Fort” in Tokyo, and “Fountains of the Gods” at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Casinos in other states as well as Las Vegas display his work, such as the Luxor, Mandalay Bay and the Winstar (Oklahoma).
With the advent of the digital revolution, Daniel taught himself computer 2D and 3D skills, including animation. These tools led to contributions as a concept artist and matte painter for film and the video game industry.

Discover a heart intention for the purpose of developing a relationship with ascended Sasquatch teachers. Experience fascinating audio files of click language, drumming, and other vocalizations. Special thanks to sponsors Fat Yeti Froyo.
Ancient benevolent Beings known widely as Sasquatch are patiently waiting for humans to connect with them on a higher level. In this presentation we will raise the bar on “Sasquatch research” and demonstrate a new way. Learn that there are two kinds of Sasquatch - what you put out with your intention is what you attract – your intention either comes from your heart or your head (ego). Attendees will learn heart intention for the purpose of developing a deep connection and relationship with ascended Sasquatch Teachers. You will learn definitive communication methods, including symbolic language techniques and exercises to help you match your energy to these ancient Teachers. Simple meditation skills will also be introduced. Experience fascinating audio files of click language, ancient language, drumming, and other vocalizations. Learn what the Sasquatch Elders are here to teach, as well as how to overcome your own fears for an actual face to face encounter.
Judy Carroll is a passionate clinical pioneer in periodontal medicine, with over 32 years of experience treating and connecting with her patients. Her ground-breaking work in non-invasive endoscopic bone regeneration would become sought out by thousands of patients from all over the world spanning two decades. Judy openly shares her discoveries and research with her colleagues through post graduate courses and mentoring.
On July 31st, 2016, Judy’s life path would change in a significant way when an 8-foot Elder Sasquatch Teacher walked up to her after months of patiently guiding her through her fears during solo outings in the wilderness. He would spend years teaching her the truth about herself, the Sabe/Sasquatch People, and the Trees using a universal symbolic language technique and meditation. Hundreds of trips alone in the wilderness with the Trees and her elder Sasquatch Teacher (Khombe) enabled Judy to gain an education in the “old ways”. She is now ready to bring this knowledge to individuals ready to learn.
Judy became a part of the Squatchcon Planning Committee in late 2022 and is working with event organizers to expand heart-based programming focused on the ancient beings commonly known as Sasquatch. With her support and Khombe's guidance, Squatchcon plans to veer away from the evidencing and tracking-driven world of Sasquatch conventions with a compassionate, more communication-based approach.

Christina Gutierrez-Cozine has been involved with theater her entire life and so when she started cosplaying about 8 years ago it seemed completely natural to her. While in theater she was responsible for props, hair, makeup, costumes, and set construction.
Cosplaying an OC starts by creating a character and a back story, then becoming them. It's art and a form of self-expression. Christina has quite a few different cosplays that she done over the years. From OCs to characters including to Melisandra from Game of Thrones, Dark Phoenix from Uncanny X-Men, and her most well-known cosplay: Tauriel from The Hobbit films.
Christina’s OC is a Victorian styled plague doctor named her Emmanuella. Emmanuella is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning “God is with us.” Though it has come to have almost solely religious connotations, Emanuel was actually originally formed as a secular version of Menahem, meaning “comforter”
