Well shit, I went and let another three months go past without posting a damn thing. Better make some excuses.

Expanding on that last post I threw together last week, despite a mildly disappointing turn out, Animania was a pretty excellent con experience. There was some fantastic art on display in the artist’s alley (I picked up three BRS prints from a table just a few down from ours, which may mark the first time I’ve ever bought fanart prints) and in a ( Read more... )

Been having a bit of a month over here.

Sydney Animania: Was great! Numbers were a bit on the meh side, but I spent more money on shiny new merch than at any other con in ages, and as always half the fun was just getting to catch up with all our friends from over east, and for that alone the trip was awesome.

A couple of months back we caught up with Kenny, one of our cosplayer friends from interstate who was over in Perth on business for a few days.

I'm planning on ordering in some new cosplay contacts in the next couple of days from Cosplaylab, if anyone would like to join in and split the shipping costs. (Yeah, I know, there are cheaper places locally, but I'm kinda attached to the Color Max series. Terribly pretty, and I'm used to them.)

This is less of a post than an apology for the lack of posts here lately. I have so much stuff I'd like to be posting about it is ridiculous: comics commentary, Cable/Deadpool fic - even the inevitable Homestuck fic ideas. But I have had exactly zero time to do anything about any of that because the Madman finals were fast approaching and over the ( Read more... )

A couple of months back, I posted reference pics and cosplay plans for a teen Cable costume. This is how it came out.

As usually happens when it comes to me and con reports I am already more than a month late in posting about this year's Supanova, so I'll cut right to the chase regarding how the Saturday went this year: we went and won the Perth heat of the Madman Cosplay Championships.

We were not expecting to win. Short of WCS, the Madman comp is the biggest ( Read more... )

Another post now ridiculously overdue. (I will defeat this backlog someday I swear ( Read more... )
