MCM Comic Con London October
Another MCM London Comic Con is in the books and this was one of the best I’ve ever attended. I cannot begin to tell you just how amazing this con was. It was a dream of mine to cosplay Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man for years and I was finally able to do that. A huge shout out to me Demolition Man squad. Spartan was cosplayed by @6seasons and Huxley was cosplayed by @readycosplayerone. […]
Read MoreEuropean Black Panther Premiere
The time had finally come to attend the European Black Panther Premiere in London. This event brought my journey as a cosplayer full circle. The first Black Panther European Premiere was the beginning of our relationship with Disney and Marvel. Four black cosplayers just wanted to be a part of the cultural moment the orbital movie was. Black Panther was my first cosplay and we were proud to be represented in the super hero genre. […]
Read MoreKingCon Photography Contest
Most people don’t know this but I my start in the cosplay community came as a photographer. Photography is still a passion for me even though I don’t do it at too many conventions anymore. KingCon had a photography contest and I decided to enter with 2 photos. I managed to win 2nd place in the photo manipulation category. I was extremely happy because my photoshop skills sucked when I first started out and it […]

Read MoreDragon Con 2022
Dragon Con is back! It has been three years since Ugo and I attended Dragon Con. Before the pandemic Dragon Con 2020 was my most anticipated convention. I was becoming the fittest I’ve ever been for it. Atlanta is home for me as I was born and raised there but I hadn’t been home since 2020 so I was anxious about it. Dragon Con was the first con I went to and was my introduction […]
Read MoreEmerald City Comic Con
Emerald City is the first west coast convention I’ve attended and it did not disappoint. It was only my second comic con since the end of 2019. It was cool because it was as laid back as you wanted it to be or as up-tempo as you wanted. This convention gave me the opportunity to meet so many cosplayers that I normally don’t see because I don’t travel to west coast conventions. I was able […]
Read MoreThe Boys: A-Train vs Blue Hawk
If you are up to date on The Boys and finished season three then you are familiar with supe Blue Hawk. I couldn’t stand Blue Hawk. When A-Train kills him, it was so satisfying to me. I instantly knew I wanted to recreate that scene somehow. I don’t generally advocate death for people but if you look at this meme I created you know exactly how I feel about Blue Hawk. Thanks to Samuel Jackson […]

The emotional trailer for Black Panther II was released at San Diego Comic Con on Saturday night and it did not disappoint. I have been looking forward to this movie since the first Black Panther movie was released. There will always be a special place in my heart for this franchise as it was the representation people that looked like me needed.
