Max, Steph and I went out to West Virginia to work at WVPopCon 2017. In addition to selling the comic book, I decided to also run a cosplay photo booth: Quick edits of cosplayers where I photoshop them onto covers or into scenes that make sense for their character. Here are some of the shots…
Way back when I started teaching my Sex, Violence and Comics class, the students actually requested a class focusing on cosplay. Then a couple days ago I asked for people’s thoughts on the homework that I’d be giving for that class. We did it on Halloween. Some people asked if I could share some of…
