Hi there! My name is Jamee Stover, and I'm an artist based out of Charleston, West Virginia. I've been cosplaying since 2008, and making my own costumes since around 2010. I love bringing ideas to life and seeing people smile!
My favorite things to make include historic fashion, realistic animal costume pieces, and costume/fashion that requires sculpting of some kind.
I attribute most of my inspiration to my mom and my sister. My mom taught me how to sew when I was young, around 8 years old. As time went on, my older sister, Sherry, introduced me to the nerdy world of anime and cosplay. As soon as I learned that people dress up outside of Halloween, I was hooked. I've always been drawing and designing, it truly runs in the family!
I started my small business, Lizard King Designs, on a small scale in 2015. In 2022, I decided to take the leap and try to make it my full time job.
In early 2025, I realized there was something about "Lizard King" that just wasn't me anymore. It was a nickname that I had way back in high school, and I was ready for something new. I wanted something fun that showed my love for creatures, had some sort of reference to Appalachia, and invoked a sense of space. After consulting friends to try and get some ideas, "Fossil Holler" was created! (thanks Vel!)
