Cuties of all kinds are welcome to Cute K.O. Show, celebrating a decade of silly little guys created by Erika Schnatz!
About this Event

Back in spring of 2017, Erika launched Cute K.O., a tournament of cuteness populated by original characters. Via various social media platforms and in-person events, folks vote for their favorites in head-to-head matchups, and the tournament concludes when one cutie remains. To commemorate the milestone, year ten is a tournament of champions bracket, where top characters from the past four years will return to vie for a championship title. Come by Sonny’s House to view a gallery wall full of original mini pieces, vote in round one of Cute K.O. 2026, and pick up some merch of your favorite little guy. The Cute K.O. Show opening party is happening on Saturday, February 21st from 6-8 pm, and will be on view through March 29, 2026.


Erika Schnatz is a designer and illustrator who lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and the cutest (and least well-behaved) dog in the world. By day, she works at Image Comics as a senior production artist on the design and layout of comics of all kinds. In her free time she enjoys reading, dancing around her living room, and working on new Cute K.O. merchandise. Check out her work on Instagram @erikaschnatz


Masks are required at Sonny's for everyone's safety❣️⁠
