BIO:
I’ve always loved geek culture starting way back in my younger years watching the Marvel animated series of the 90s, Star Wars, aliens etc but I didn’t start cosplaying until my 20s. I took a working holiday in the UK for two years back in 2007/8 with my now wife Angela and over there they take dressing up to a whole different level. Fandom and geek culture were just so much bigger there than it was back home in South Africa and I was inspired. I’ve been cosplaying since 2009 making 2 or 3 big costumes per year for my wife and myself and more recently my daughter. Fast forward to 2018 when I attended my first Con and that’s when I really felt like I connected with the SA cosplay community and have been inspired to take my crafting skills to the next level!
Anyone can be good at cosplay and crafting if you have the passion for it. it’s all up to you on what level of time and commitment you want to dedicate to this extremely satisfying craft
Motto/Slogan: Go big or go home
