I’m
sorry to disappoint but there will be no recipe this week, we have just been
too busy. As I mentioned last week,
Laura and I both had a touch of a
cold last weekend. Well, combine that with 4 days of
Wizard World and the
Con Flu that penetrated our already weaken immune system, meant that we were in
no mood to make anything Monday. In fact all I really did that day was
run out and get Laura some cold meds for her cough and then sat on the couch
with her watching an impromptu RuPaul’s Drag race marathon off Netflix.
Despite
the multitude of germs inhabiting our bodies Wizard World was a blast. I
got to debut my Doctor Strange costume. It was the first time I every
cosplayed and I loved every minute of it. At one point I was talking to
the great Scott Derby and I heard a small voice from my right say “I like your
cape.” I looked over and there stood an absolutely adorable little
girl. I thanked her and her and her older sister if they would like a
picture. Both girls’ eyes lit up and the little one asked, “Can I?”
This completely melted my cold cold heart. After their dad took our
picture, the older of the sister asked me about the medallion on my
costume. I told her about how a friend of mine had made the costume for
me and to the best of my knowledge I explained how she had made the medallion
from scultpy. This exchange was the highlight of my weekend and from that
moment on I was hooked on cosplaying.
I
spent most of my time at the convention behind Laura’s table. We did
brisk business and I got to meet a lot of really cool people and see some
amazing costumes. The few times I was able to get out of the booth I was
able to get a few sketches for a themed sketch book I have been putting
together since 2008. I call it Arkham Asylum and I have each artist draw
his or her favorite Batman villain in it. I also give them a folder with reference
pictures of all of the Batman villains I could find.
Here
are the sketches I picked up this Wizard World Philly:
 |
| Mr. Freeze - James Boyle |
 |
| The Reaper - Chris Faccone |
 |
| Catwoman - Andy Leta |
 |
| Mr. Freeze - Alex Eckman-Lawn |

Hey, do you still have all the pictures from Philly Wizard World 2012? Was looking back through my pictures and realized I don't have one of you and I. It was my first attempt at a Dresden Costume and I thought yours was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I do, what would be the best way for me to get it to you?
