Tell me about yourself and being first introduced to cosplay.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the longest time I\u2019ve always been fascinated with how movie props and costumes were made. I\u2019ve been building in and off since I was about 12 and it went from metal work to eventually sculpting, molding and casting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What got you interested in doing cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to a Supanova one year and watched how much fun everyone was having. I never really thought to dress up at a con. But after that weekend I caught the Cosplay Bug.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What was your first cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first official cosplay was in 2013 and it was a Nolan version of Robin if he had of appeared in the Dark Knight trilogy! So lots of motorcycle armour pieces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What was your favorite cosplay\/technique you are most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far I\u2019m most proud of Whiplash and also Geralt (that I\u2019m currently working on right now).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any upcoming cosplays you are excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geralt from the Witcher and also I\u2019m going to cosplay as my logo avatar!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If money and time was no object, what is your dream cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fully functional Batsuit, gadgets and all!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite experience from doing cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting some amazing people who I have the privilege of calling friends as well as travelling the world!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is the most fun about cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just the fact that it\u2019s escapism and flexing your creative muscles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is the most difficult or challenging thing about cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming up with techniques on the spot and troubleshooting when something doesn\u2019t work. But that\u2019s the fun of it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What do you like doing when you aren\u2019t working on cosplay projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love keeping fit and active so many a gym session. Seeing my friends and catching up for a few cheeky beers!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What’s your biggest pet peeve at cons?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People coming up and touching your builds without asking or even a \u201cHello\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Which con would you most like to visit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next big con I\u2019d love to go to (when the world opens again) is New York Comic Con<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you weren’t a cosplayer, what would you be up to right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh man, I don\u2019t even want to think about that \ud83d\ude02 probably something in the entertainment industry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the most interesting thing you\u2019ve read or seen this week?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn\u2019t say interesting, but I\u2019ve been enjoying all the memes about self isolation. Always a good laugh!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is one message you would give to beginning cosplayers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just have fun with it and never make it a choir.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Anything else you would like our readers to know about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m double jointed<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
