We truly don't know either, but we can try our best to describe him.
Ford Ivanson is an author, adventurer, and attorney, but that all changed after a freak mushroom attack.
After having his body hijacked by Mother Mushroom, "IVANSON" gained sentience and is currently operating through Ford's body. "IVANSON" cannot be stopped until it sinks its tendrils throughout the world - or can afford to live in Tokyo, Japan. Whichever happens first.
"IVANSON" would be absolutely ecstatic if it saw the IVANSON STUDIOS CHARACTERS being cosplayed at conventions. Make it happen!
We’re honored to have represented Ivanson Studios at the LA Times Festival of Books — an inspiring experience that celebrates creativity, storytelling, and community.
The 2025 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books marked its 30th anniversary on April 26–27 at the University of Southern California, drawing tens of thousands of book lovers to the nation’s largest literary event. This milestone celebration featured over 550 authors, artists, and performers across seven outdoor stages and 15 indoor venues, offering a vibrant mix of panel discussions, book signings, live music, cooking demos, and family-friendly activities .
Believe it or not, this has been a goal of mine for a while.
I’ve always loved reading and writing (hence the whole “lawyer” thing), but only until recently have I had the courage to put myself out there.
"My philosophy on things has always been to put yourself out there and improve as you go! Whether it’s improving the quality of your books or the lives of people.
I can’t stop thinking about all the folks that helped make this possible. Eternally grateful!"
