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 […]
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 […]
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 shot with the amazing Thomas Dodd this past Wednesday. It was the most fun that I have had with a new photographer in a long time! He takes his amazing photography and turns in into a lavishly textured art piece. Here is the first finished piece to come out of our day of shooting. […]
One of my favorite photographer friends called me up today for an impromptu shoot. He had just gotten vintage 1983 Nikon FE2 and wanted to see what it could do. These are some of the fun B&W film shots that ensued… Photo’s by the amazing NiceShotTed Enjoy!
