Cosplay Level UP!

Want to take your cosplay to the next level? This panel focuses on more advanced construction techniques and other supplies that can make your costumes even better! Come and learn about fabric choices, some handy construction techniques, and learn a little bit about materials other than cloth. Great for intermediate to advanced cosplayers, but all are welcome!

TABLE!

Time for some shameless self promotion, eh? Word on the street is that I'll have a table to help promote the book, and my artwork, at the show!

I'll of course have copies of Epic Cosplay Costumes for sale ($25, btw), and I'm more than happy to sign them for people! I'll also have my comics, artbooks, and artist trading cards (prints and originals) for sale, and we'll see if I wanna bring anything else with me.

I'll see you there! :)
