In 2018, my kids wanted the whole family to go out for Halloween as creepy clowns. That’s when the idea for *Tiny* was born. He was still a fledgling character at the time—not fully developed—but even then, just walking around the neighborhood drew quite a crowd. Later that year, I attended the Rock 101 Halloween Buzz Ball and ended up taking second place. After the event, I decided to head down Elm Street in Manchester, NH, and to my surprise, I started clearing out bars just by showing up. That’s when I realized there might be something special here.
Soon after, I began appearing at Hampton Beach from time to time, and the reactions were incredible. But it wasn’t until 2019, when I stepped onto Essex Street in Salem, Massachusetts for the first time, that I truly knew *Bigtop Tiny* was legit. Since then, I’ve been featured on *New Hampshire Chronicle* and received a full spread—including the cover photos—in *Bold and Beautiful* magazine.
