Shannon not only uses his costuming talent to earn a living in film, he also uses his talent for non-industry endeavors like private customer commissions, philanthropic works, and passion projects. Below you will find photos from the San Diego Red Dress Party in which Shannon donates his time building for attendees that raise money for HIV research. There are pictures of his leather Christmas stocking project, masks he made during the Covid Pandemic and donated to the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, as well as ”space suits” from Darren Aronofsky’s POSTCARDS FROM EARTH showing in the Las Vegas Sphere, and private commissions from friends.
