I’m a New England based master level cosplayer. I have a background in fine art and graphic design. I’ve been attending conventions since the early 2000s and I enjoy creating a wide range of characters. One of my favorite genres are older media such as Record of Lodoss War and long forgotten 90s OVA series - I’m a pile of dusty VHS tapes in a trench coat. I take time choosing my cosplays based on my affinity for the character.
I also like to choose builds that will challenge me to learn new skills. Most of my builds are mixed media, including skills such as sewing, foam smithing and 3D printing.
