Darick’s Marvelous World

Darick’s marvelous world of art is like being transported into a comic book! You’re surrounded by heroes, villains, and whimsical worlds full of fantasy. You can see his passion in every piece. As we all know, Clark Kent has his Superman side. Bruce Wayne has Batman. Darick has his very own alter ego, the Joker. In fact, he created a cosplay costume from scratch and uses the Joker persona to promote his art shows in a fun and edgy way. Many of the businesses in downtown Canton are very familiar with Darick dropping by to film a scene for his newest promotional video. Read More ›
