Captain Zero: Into the Abyss Part 2 Kickstarter

I am pleased to announce I am officially on the team as a co-producer. I am excited to be on this journey with Cutting Edge Animation. We have plans to make Part 2 […]

Dragon Con 2023

Dragon Con is back! This is always my most anticipated convention every single year. I was becoming the fittest I’ve ever been for it. Atlanta is home for me as I was born and raised there. Dragon Con was the first con I went to and was my introduction to what cosplay was. It quickly became my favorite convention to attend and still holds the top spot to this day. Last year I was invited […]

Liberty Comic Con

Last weekend was the purest form of things just falling into place. The homie @theegeekinsider was on the east coast and we randomly pulled up to Liberty Comic Con. Vibes were cool and chill. It was exactly what I needed. The convention organizer couldn’t find the host/moderator for two panels and I ended up taking those duties for two shows I love. Sometimes it pays to be in the right place at the right time. […]

Comic-Con 2023

What a year to attend my first Comic-Con. Due to the strikes you won’t see the celebs that are normally there to promote their upcoming projects and new reveals from major studios. A lot of people were complaining but as a cosplayer and comic lover I thought it was a good time to get back to the roots of Comic-Con. Celebrating artists and indie productions and most importantly all the cosplayers. I decided not to […]

BlerdCon 2023

I went to my first Blerdcon in July and it didn’t not disappoint. As a blerd this was more like a family reunion or homecoming than a con. I interviewed @marcusthevisual back at Emerald City Comic Con where I wore on of his cosplay design. I spoke with him behind the scenes about one of my favorite mashups he created.
