I’ve always enjoyed dressing up. When I was a kid I would refuse to go anywhere without wearing a tiara which eventually evolved in me not going anywhere without my detective hat. But then one day when I was 14 I decided to dress up as a character from my favorite anime at the time…

( 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…

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…

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…

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…

IAN (Dallas, TX)
I was reading the comic Young Avengers when it re-launched from Marvel. It was not only super funny but super insightful about gender norms and race. As a black nerd these types of issues are often overlooked for more typical “white male burden issues”. So I knew i wanted to do a character from the…
