I won a costume of Flynn Ryder from Tangled. Took them over 2 years to get to me. Came with a bunch of pouches which were really handy.

In 2018 I entered the cosplay competition again with a Moria Orc from Lord of the Rings. A super fun build made from foam and paper-mache. Also using a full face prosthetics which brought it all together.

I updated my white walker cosplay with a mask and gloves and added more details to the armour. I also created an ice spear.

My first time using SFX prosthetics was with Voldemort, I wasn't very good at blending yet. Also made a super handy cloak which I could use for a bunch of other costumes.

This is a costume of my own design. I love all the wicked leather armor the Larpers wear, I didn't have access to leather so made it out of lino.

No one cosplays like Gaston. A simple costume I wore to a few events. Got quite a few cosplay friends around this time and was nicknamed Gaston for a short while.

In 2016 I did my first attempt at a White walker from Game of Thrones. I made horns and cheeks out of clay, using spirit gum for the first time.

In 2015 I didn't really know what I was doing. Tried to make a Lex Luther cosplay. It was very difficult to move in, and was falling apart by the time I got inside the con. A learning experience.

In 2013 I made (with a lot of help) my first cosplay. A Jaffa from Stargate SG1.
In 2014 I upgraded it to a Serpent guard armor and entered my first cosplay competition. It was great being recognized by other fans of Stargate.

Let's start a cosplay adventure.
My very first cosplay was Squall from Final Fantasy 8. I purchased it online along with the wig. While I doubt I fit the costume anymore, the wig still see a lot of use when I'm at the theater.
