Comic Con, Cosplay and Horror!

It's here!!
It's June 1st, the first day of the month and the day after Phoenix Comicon!!!!!!!
Being my first convention of the year and the biggest - I decided to put together a new cosplay with ModifiedMinds!  
Since my past favorites include Vanessa Allen's Female Joker

 

and Tara Huchison's  Ophelia from Larry Alan's, Hamlet and Ophelia

 I decided to play again - this time as the new Harley from the upcoming Suicide Squad movie.  Leaked set pics were up a few weeks ago so I started making everything! I told Amanda what I was doing and she helped me complete my outfit by making the BEST shirt and shorts.  I got everything done FRIDAY NIGHT after the con- I was up painting my shoes until 2am! 

Here are some of the leaked set pics of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn:

And here is ME

One of the MOST talented cosplayers and coolest ladies in existence, Freddie Nova 

(Check out her Predator- you'll cum. Guys and ladies. She's just too good.  )

 I'm finishing the bat and have a few more things to add to the costume this week before I shoot as her, including more body paint and tattoos!!  

During the con I also handed out the first fliers for our horror series, The Theatre Macabre!! The first teaser will be out this month! 

What do you think of the new Harley outfit? What about the Joker and all of the tattoos that call out his insanity.... the 'HAHAHA,' 'damaged' on his head and the giant joker on his shoulder/chest?! There are some decisions that look a little crazy but ---

The set pics haven't seen color correcting or anything yet, so things will probably look a lot different after editing. Ughhh and Margot! She's so gorgeous!!!!!!! Plus, she's already got the accent down.  I haven't seen Will Smith in anything in a while either so I'm looking forward to seeing him play Deadshot.  He looks badass too.   I'm excited to see what they do with it!

 

 

 

Comic con 2013

I can't believe it's the end of June!!  So much for me getting my schedule up for you! Well-- I'll backtrack a bit and then I'll post prints that you can order too!
The past 2 months have been a blur.  The only way for me to let you know about it is to just throw you all in-
here we go.
In May, I brought you my new Dorothy Gale

I started playing with worbla and made some cool props-

Then, I was invited to be a part of a 16 month cosplay calendar, including 17 cosplayers that would be sold and signed at the upcoming Phoenix Comic Con.  Score!

I joined with the amazing ladies- and together with Toni Darling and Big Chris Art, we were able to bring you epicness for your wall. 

You can still order the calendar, which started this month- popfury.storenvy.com

At the end of May was the Phoenix Comicon.  I was running around everywhere like usual.  I got a hot new shirt from Mike DeBalfo

and got to see Jean Arrow!! (I lub this girl)

stopped by to see Peculiar Magpie and Amanda Tucker, owner of Modified Minds-to grab my outfit for the Geek Prom,

hung out at the cosplay calendar booth,

Always a great job, Justin..

got body painted by Mark Greenawalt for The Villikon Chronicles signing, and got to meet the creator of the book and film universe, Bryan J. Kinnard :) 

Me and Mark

and crowned the winners of the Kids Need To Read Geek Prom along with Peter Steigerwald! 

After the Phoenix Comicon I had a week to get ready for LA.  The feature I shot in last year, Salvation, premiered at the Dances with Films film festival and I got to go and join the rest of the cast at the viewing and Q and A.  

Yuuuup, that was my outfit....and yes- that's a bodysuit. BAM!

Q & A after 'Salvation'

One week after the premiere I went to Vegas for the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con!! Want to know what happened and what more I have upcoming? Stay tuned for post #2!!!  

So much! Yay May!!

So even though I have so much going on I can't' see straight, I think it only fair to do my best to share with you. <br>
This month I'm booked with one thing or another every day.... Which means lots of pictures!! <br>
Lets just start with this week.  On April 30th I went to visit some friends (Larry and Tara from Larry Alan Photography) and it turned into a night of photo shooting. First, we set up to do a piece that Larry is featuring on his blog, called 10 Frames. We choose 3 outfits, Tara did my makeup and we shot. It was fun, I danced, I screwed around and it felt wonderful! After that shoot, an idea hit Larry and Curtis Lee, a friend that happened to also be visiting, myself and Tara got down and dirty for what turned out to be one of my favorite shoots to date.
We veered away from funky, fresh, pretty, bright and went right to the depths of a madmans soul. Mad (man?)
The set can be viewed at his website, with links to his twitter and Facebook. http://larryalanphoto.com/blog/?p=496
This guy is seriously amazeballs.
After that shoot, I got my Dorothy Gale cosplay on and did an all new photoshoot!! I'm going to be selling 2 prints from this set at conventions and online so choose your favorite and It may be a winner :)
Now, I'm working on my first Worbla piece. I've never molded our worked with plastics before.... but I figure, the more practice, the better I'll get. Plus, I want to bring you all new costumes!! I'm missing Free Comic Book Day because of this piece so it better turn out good!!
I'm going to post pics of my progress throughout the day. I'm doing a Disney villain shoot tomorrow morning at 4am so this piece will have to be finished. I'm going to load pictures soon here and on my instagram. You can follow me at @pocketsized21
If you have worked with worbla or plastics before and have any typos for me, please let me know!
Also, I'm posting from my tablet so please excuse whatever weird formatting the paragraphs and pictures may be in. Deal with it!

Phoenix Comicon 2012

Let's just start back up with May.

I found out in April that a photo shoot project I'd worked on last year with photographer Aaron Flores and actors Kevin Tye and Richard Anderson had a few shots chosen to display in a gallery all through May.  I went to the gallery opening on the 2nd and got to see the finished pieces for the first time.
I am doing some photo shoots before the Phoenix Comicon- which is May 24-27th.  I will not have a table this year but will have a few exclusives and will be signing at different tables throughout the con.

Then, at night, I am going to be walking in the Madame Trapeze fashion show in Phoenix.  The show will have SWORD eating, ballerinas, belly dancing, spiked snowcones and a plethora of fashion designers.  Join me and the ladies as we walk in a circus steam-punk fashion show.  All designs done by the lovely Amanda Tucker of Modified Minds.  http://www.facebook.com/events/425046980858246/

Phoenix Comicon 2011 Part Dos

Alright!!  Now that computer decided to stay connected to the internet.....I can finish my con recap! YAY!
I believe we are now on SUNDAY!
Sunday is usually my FAVORITE day of conventions.  Everyone is tired from the hectic week so things are so much calmer and laid back.  I have been cast in a new feature film, Camp 139 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Camp-139/119558271446750 (FB just started!), so I only had a limited time at the con because we had a table read at 3.  Although I started packing at 2, I had tons of visitors and met some great people.

Here was my table at con--

See the red flier I am pointing out? That is for the spin off series "A Six Gun For Lobo" that I will be filming with Cazador Productions at the end of this year.  http://asixgunforlobo.com  It is a spin off of Western X.
Before I ran out of the convention, I realized that I hadn't had any time to visit any friends, get any sketches or browse any art so I grabbed my name banner and5  ran to everyone I could catch at their tables to get a signature and picture.  I got a lot in the 15 minutes I had.... Here is what I managed:

So that was my con experience.  I'm still a bit new to the world of blogging so for the sideways pictures, just lay your head on the table or turn your screen.  It won't hurt.  Don't you worry.  

What con's are you most looking forward to?
