I have three projects happening behind the scenes, and I’m not posting lots of WIPs because the world is heavy right now. I need my hobby for mental health, but not deadlines. 🥰

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested. youtu.be/i5Yvg_HHfbE?...

Cosplay tip for getting perfectly sanded beveled edges on EVA foam: use masking tape as a sanding guide!

Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality. At this pivotal moment, we honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms, with everything we've got.

Black and white photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. with quote "We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil." the quote is attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. In the photo, Dr. King is wearing a suit and tie, standing at a podium speaking.

Just a couple of photos from my axe propmaking workshops I did for Holiday Matsuri and Rose City Comic Con. I love teaching project-based classes! Turning a 1-day build into a teachable 2-hour build is a good challenge. These are super fun and students learn a lot about working with foam and tools!

I’m diving back into my industrial design background to make cool packaging for my upcoming workshops. Labor intensive? Yes. Fun for me? Also yes.

~MAKING OF LIARA~ Some WIPs of how I made my Liara cosplay! The breastplate, gauntlets, & leg armor are all EVA foam, but I 3D modeled & printed the biceps, shoe armor, & various buckles. The carbon fiber pattern was airbrushed on with leather paint & a stencil. #cosplay #masseffect #liara

A collage showing 3 stages of the making of a cosplay breastplate for Liara from Mass Effect. The first stage is the EVA foam base, second is primed with detailed engraved, and third is painted and weathered.

Random older project post! This was hand sculpted with mostly Bondo. Nowadays it would be a 3d print with some cleanup. Man, times are changing so quickly. I still very much enjoy the process of making things by hand though. Probably won’t stop anytime soon.

At Rose City Comic Con, I gave my judges’s award to this 8 year old up and coming costume designer and creative fabricator. Not only did she make her own costume, she patterned and created a costume that her brother wore, complete with a headpiece!

My first armor build was a decade ago and I’m still proud of this work.

Thinking about all that extra time I have for yet another social media account. 😅
