Much of this growth is driven by the success of major conventions like DragonCon and MomoCon as well as the presence of major Hollywood film and television production teams around the city.

Ted (Los Angeles, CA)
I’ve loved comics and superheroes ever since I was a kid. That was a long time ago, but I haven’t given up my “kid spirit”. Around 2000 I saw other people online starting to do superhero costumes, and with the urging of a friend I decided to get my first costume – the…

Benjamin (Cypress, CA)
I spend well over a year combining as many outfits as I could to create closet cosplays that actually weren’t half bad, and over time I got better at recognizing what things could go together and look good, and by the end of that year I had made over 120 costumes in addition to the…

OYIMI Cosplay (Seattle, WA)
We, Ben (Lone Starr), Victoria (Barf), and Karen (Dark Helmet), start tossing out ideas where we can convincingly incorporate the wheelchair into the cosplay. There is usually a bit of bantering back and forth until we come to a consensus. We all agreed that making the Winnebago from “Spaceballs” would be fun and unique. It’s…

STRANGE CAT COSPLAY: When I saw the designs I fell in love with the props, the attention to detail, and the use of color. Plus, I have always loved Dungeons and Dragons, so putting them into that universe was such a wonderful…

Charmedseed (Denver, CO)
I was born in Indiana and raised in Wyoming before moving to Colorado for college. Having grown up very crafty and creative, as well as a little nerdy, cosplay was a very natural progression for me. I started cosplaying in 1998, when wigs were scarce and only offered in natural colors. We learned sewing techniques…
