During my sabbatical I’ve learned a lot. One of the things I’ve done is made it easier to create new pages on my website at artlung dot com. I use #WordPress with a theme and plugins I wrote myself. I’ve got 20 years of posts and photos and it’s easy for it to get lost. So yesterday I made a page that I can update periodically, and as I add new cosplays, for example with a hashtag of #qcosplay it will show up on this page. My intent is to show off more of my PHP development, comics, drawings, and toy robots this way. As much as I appreciate Instagram, I wish it were easier to do this kind of thing for my posts on IG, but a website YOU control is the only way to control the way you present yourself and whether you can reach people you’d like to reach.
D’Vana Tendi of Lower Decks and Q of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’ve known this alien 9 years: we were in line to give blood at the same moment at #SDCC. What I wrote at the time in my journal: “I did end up giving blood then met the nicest possible person. Meeting kind people different from myself makes me LOVE EVERYONE even when some of them are pushy and maybe sweaty in a way that could maybe smell better.” To be clear, I was not referring to her with the pushy sweaty smelly crack.#startrek#lowerdecks#qcosplay#dvanatendi#dvanatendicosplay#sdcc2023
I’ve attended so many Comic Con’s alongside my friend Erin of thirty-five years I don’t know how many it’s been. It’s great to be back! …though not always dressed as the Q Continuum judging humanity.#QCosplay#StarTrek#StarTrekCosplay
I’ve cosplayed Dr. Hank McCoy twice. The first time it was great, the second just okay. The next time, it’ll be best yet. These were light gray thumbless gloves meant to be some other creature. I dyed them over Christmas and will deploy them next time I cosplay.#beastcosplay#cosplay
Just a little throwback to my 2015 Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) cosplay. No reason. I don’t know the name of this Matt Murdock (Daredevil) cosplayer but he was great!
“You made me swallow my gum!” [Throwback to 2017 when I cosplayed as Gideon Graves] While it’s fun to cosplay things everyone knows, surprising people holds special delight.
#Cosplay is magic. Vasquez!; fun-loving Galactus, Devourer of Worlds; Jennifer Walters: She-Hulk; Parker from Alien; Queen of the Iron Throne; Rainbow Batman; DC Bombshells’ Wonder Woman; Steranko! (dapper men cosplay themselves)#sdcc#sdcc2019
Amazing morning of Harry Potter group cosplay through the Gaslamp all the way to Con! So much talent! So tired I wouldn’t mind being put in a trunk!#sdcc#harrypotter#madeyemoody#cosplay#sdcc2019
