Canvas & Crime: Turning True Crime into Quirky Characters

Welcome back to You Can't Kill the Boogeyman Podcast with your favorite spooky couple, Robby and Sammi! Today's episode features an interview with Elizabeth Kohler, the creator and owner of Canvas & Crime. Elizabeth discusses how she combines her artistic skills with her lifelong fascination with true crime to create "quirky" character versions of notorious serial killers. Elizabeth began the business by accident, starting with a character of Dexter and moving on to real-life figures like BTK and Ted Bundy. She discusses Gary Ridgway as one of her "favorites" to study because of his deceptively gentle appearance and the sheer scale of his crimes. She shares that her general interest in true crime starting as a teenager when she lived near the area where the Green River Killer was active. She also mentions that her father unknowingly fueled this interest by buying her graphic detective magazines! Elizabeth sells "Killer Shot Glasses" featuring her serial killer characters, a name and product idea suggested by her husband to provide something more functional than wall art. You can find her links below!

I produce all of the podcasts on the Limitless Broadcasting Network in addition to producing film projects for our sister network, 1950Studios. I am a chronic pain warrior, and I work every day to make sure it doesn't limit me as I reach for my dreams. I love horror movies, especially "Scream," and I find all things supernatural and spooky fascinating.

Hi, I'm Sammi! I help produce and edit most of our podcasts on the network! I love Disney and scary movies, but I am not so sure about real supernatural experiences or ghosts...
