( photo: BakedKristi ) With my builds, I do my best to pay the ultimate tribute. ‘Toy Story’ has been a franchise that never ceases to take me back to the joys of my childhood. With Buzz Lightyear being my favorite character from the franchise, I decided to pay the ultimate tribute the only way…

@NIMSCRAFT (Cleveland, OH)
My Assassin’s Creed outfit was my one of my most ambitious projects and I have learned a lot of crafting techniques in the process of making it: leatherwork, embroidery, sculpting etc. . I have redone several pieces over the years and its still my most treasured possession (in terms of cosplay). While the Assassin’s Creed…

Miss Relena & Angelic Threads (Hurricane, UT & Las Vegas, NV)
I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the Alice in Wonderland stories from when I was little. When Ouran High School Host Club was released, I was equally in love. So when they combined the two for an episode, I simply had to cosplay from it! I chose the Queen because the Carnevale di Venezia…

Thanks for a great AUstin Cosplay Swap Meet #2
First of all, whoever posted about this on Craigslist, thank you! From random sampling of folks here, they either heard about it from Facebook, Austin Chronicle or DO512/other local event pages. Definitely a growth from the first event of October 2022 The Dance Space worked out wonderfully so we might come back to it for…

Mike and Carol Resnick
(Image source) In 1972, as I was standing shoulder to shoulder with half a hundred sweating photographers trying to get pictures of some of the masquerade costumes, I noticed that the costumers all looked cool and composed and (especially) uncrowded, and I decided that I’d been on the wrong end of the camera long enough.…

Since I had a Spider-Man costume, I decided to bring it and wear it – much to the dismay of my childhood friend Kevin. I can hear my friend Kevin’s words to this day: “When you wear this: you don’t know me, I don’t know you. You will be over there (pointing) and I will…

CaffEineCraft & Setterspecs (Chicago, IL)
Photo: Payton’s Photography CAFFEINECRAFT: This is the story of how Setterspecs and I met and how things came together for us to get married the day before Anime Central 2023 in Chicago. I started going to cons in the 2000s, though never for more than a day and not every year either. I did not…

LuckyGrim Cosplay (Boston, MA)
As soon as all of us in Sakizou costumes found each other we gushed over each others costumes. In this photo was showing the girls the new metal filigree technique I learned, putting gold hot glue into silicone candy molds. We spent most of our time trading craftsmanship ideas and just being adorable nerds. I…
