One of my favorite memories of Christmas is waking up Christmas day to find my own personal Nintendo Entertainment center already setup in my room. Super Mario Bros. was the first video game I owned. Since that day I’ve always been a fan of Mario. With the Super Mario Bros. movie coming out in April,…
With the Covid pandemic winding down and it seemed safer to go to cons, I found myself with some free time in the summer of 2022. While I’m not into Anime, there was an upcoming Anime convention run by the same friends who do Tidewater Comicon and Hampton Comicon. I wanted to help out so…
A new Sci-Fi convention was supposed to start in 2022 that would feature a guest from the Mandalorian/Boba Fett shows. At the time I started thinking about doing a Din Djarin and the Armorer costumes for my wife and son. Unfortunately the convention got canceled before I started either costume. I really liked the design…
She-Hulk started on Disney+ 2 months before Hampton Comicon 2022. It was rumored that Daredevil would be making his first in costume appearance in the show. Half way through the season, a mid-season trailer was released that gave us our first look at his costume. As fans of the Netflix series, my daughter and I…
LEGO Moon Knight was a costume I planned for my daughter to wear during Tidewater Comicon 2022. This costume was made at the same time I was working on the Mighty Thor statue, Kenobi statue, and my wife’s LEGO Buzz Lightyear costume during the 2 months leading up to the convention. Since my daughter was…
My wife is a big fan of the Toy Story movies. With a new Lightyear movie coming out soon, she wanted me to make her a LEGO Buzz Lightyear costume. This was the first costume I’ve made for her since her 2017 LEGO Stormtrooper costume. Buzz Lightyear has a pretty simple head compared to other…
For the second statue I made for Tidewater Comicon 2022, it was a toss up between Mighty Thor and Scarlet Witch. With some input from others and realizing Thor had a cool hammer prop I made the decision to go with Mighty Thor. Since my previous Thor statue was from Thor: Ragnarok, I didn’t get…
With Tidewater Comicon 2022 just 2 weeks before the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+, it was easy to choose Kenobi as 1 of the 2 new statues I made for the convention. Like with most statues, I started with the head. I used a picture of Obi-Wan from the Clone Wars TV show to…
Hampton Comicon 2021 was the first convention we attended after the Covid-19 shutdowns. With Spider-Man: No Way Home about to release and William Dafoe returning as Green Goblin, I thought Green Goblin would be a good choice for a costume. Just before the beginning of the 2020 pandemic, I bought a 3D printer. During 2020…
In the fall of 2021, Marvel fans were all waiting for the new Spider-Man: No Way Home movie. When the trailers were released and we saw Alfred Molina as Doc Ock again, I knew I wanted to do a Doc Ock statue with tentacles. The biggest challenge for this project was the tentacles. I had…
I enoyed seeing Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa (Black Panther) in Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Like most people I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Hampton Comicon 2021 was the first convention after his death that I had a chance to do a tribute to…
On January 24th, 2019, I was informed that Sunbeam, my friend, guild master, and main dungeon healer of over 10 years, had passed away from lung cancer. I can still remember the night we met online. It was the launch event for Wrath of the Lich King. I was wandering around Stormwind on my main…
