I have had the pleasure of being in the world of cosplay so long, that I really only have 3 dream builds left on my costume list. They are builds that I know will take collaborations with a few of my fellow artists, will take time, and a stupid amount of money to complete. Big […]
Red Sonja, the She Devil with a Sword. Who doesn’t want to try to embody the most beautiful and fearless woman in Hyrkania?! I’ve always had a love for Sonja. I just knew her chainmail bikini wasn’t my style. So when the Nicola Scott & Gail Simone redesigns appeared, I knew that THIS was the version of Sonja […]
Once again I had the opportunity to team up with Bryan Humphrey and the The Rogue V100 for a HUGE G.I.JOE / Cobra shoot. (You might recognize the tank from the “Wade Wilson’s War” shoot a few years ago). This was a massive shoot that took place on the grounds of On Site Machine Works […]
After the new image of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman dropped, I knew I had to design a new costume inspired by it. I loved the new armor, but not the muted Zack Snyder’afication of her traditional red and blue color motif. So I teamed up with Cathy of God Save the Queen Fashions to […]
Each year, I always look forward to the Cincinnati Comic Expo. Not only because it’s an amazing con run by amazing people, but it means I get to see & shoot with my good friend Wes, of The Portrait Dude Cosplay photography. As some of you who follow me know, Rogue and Gambit are my […]
I had hoped to shoot Silver Sable AND Baroness while at The Rogue V100′s facility. But due to time, I had to scrap wearing Baroness. Bryan Humphrey was nice enough to volunteer to work me in the next day during his shoot at the Goat Farm. It was 20 degrees, pitch black, and raining, but […]
When my friend Cathy of God Save the Queen Fashions told me she had an opportunity for us to shoot our ‘Wade Wilson’s War group with real weapons, I jumped at the unusual concept. What I didn’t know what what I was walking into was one of the coolest & largest collections of weapons, tanks […]
Cincinnati! While visiting to host/judge Cincinnati Comic Expo’s costume contest (which was HUGE & amazing this year. Seriously, go in 2014!), I was lucky enough to be able to squeeze in an epic shoot with The Portrait Dude . While I was visiting in 2012, I passed a building that looked like the Hall of […]
Let me first start off by saying.. The next time I decide fabricate an intricate armored costume in what amounts to 6 days, all while working 75+ hours a week on a TV show. Kindly roll up a comic of your choosing, and beat me about the head & neck until I come to my […]
DragonCon 2012 has come and gone…in the blink of an eye. Per normal, our geeky vacation was filled with a horde of out of town friends, insane costumes, Film/TV stars, panels and more drinks than you can shake a sonic screwdriver at. And like every recent year, I didn’t carry a camera to capture all […]
Another new costume.. Another fun shoot with BGZ Studios. This is the first time in my costuming life that I have planed a costume around a wig. I came across this exceptional purple wig and just had to find something fun, exciting, and hopefully dealing with pointy objects, to do with it. Ultimate Alliance 2 […]
What happens when you mix my extreme love of Dark Phoenix, with a great photographer and lots of REAL FIRE. Outside of a few 2nd and 3rd degree burns. One of the most exciting and fulfilling photoshoots I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of! When Darrell Ardita of BGZ Studios first […]
This was a fun little experiment with angles and lighting in the new studio. What do you think? Success? New Wonder Woman and Donna Troy photoshoot shot by the ever amazing Chris Burns
DragonCon 2011 saw the debut of Madame Hydra and her Goons. This costume was an amazing design adventure for me. It was the first time that I utilized real Python skin into my leather work. Along with the boots, the python skin really added interesting texture to the overall look of the costume. This texture […]
Ever wonder what superheros do on their day off?? Well director Ruckus Skye answers this question with this fun little short film (shot on 8mm) for Avengers Assemble the Series I have to admit, it was a lot of fun running around town dressed as Ms. Marvel. I only wish we had someone filming the […]
When I first started seeing teaser art for Marvel’s ‘Age of X’ Legacy (aka Reaper or Rogue), I knew immediately I had to do the new design. Thanks to the amazing help of Clay Mann, we were able to make these costumes a reality. My wonderful partner Chris Burns allowed me to dress him as […]
I once again had the pleasure of posing for Felipe Massafera, this time as Arisia for the cover of Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #7! It’s always such a neat process going from thumbnail sketch to finished cover that I thought I would share the evolution. First, Felipe sends me a rough sketch of the approved […]
At the end of last year, my friend Riddle asked me and a few lovely ladies to participate in a bit of a epic cosplay experiment. She had the amazing idea to gather the unusually large number of veteran Atlanta cosplayers together for a ‘Vanity Fair” style shoot in a non-convention atmosphere. No small feat […]
I should be trying to get some sleep before heading out at midnight with Yaya, Brian and Chris for Florida SuperCon in Miami, but I am too excited to nap! 11 hour drive with no sleep. Whoo Hoo!! So while I sit here waiting, car packed to the brim and nothing to do, I guess […]
HeroesCon was a blast! It was my first, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I got, was a total awesome time with many talented friends. And holy crap, did the costumers bring out their A-list game! Chris and I debuted our Silver Sable and Bullseye costumes, which seamed to go over very well. […]
Thanks to the amazing talent of Nice Shot Ted, I can bring you a new Zatanna set! With the new launch of her own comic, I can only imaging we will be seeing more incarnations of this great costume at your next con! More new photo’s from this set can be found Here!
If this collaboration is any indication, I have a feeling that this year is going to be a big year for art pieces with great artists (and even better, friends)! With that being said, I am very excited to share with you the first art piece of 2010 that I had the honor to pose […]
These are the first two photo’s from a HUGE project put together by the brilliant Riddle and shot by the talented Robert Matta. This project has some of the best costumers in Atlanta involved, and I can’t wait to share the rest with you.. But.. Until then, I hope these two teaser photo’s will tide […]
