I’ve decided to take a bit of a leap and start a new business of sorts–Billythebrick Cosplay! It has its own site along with a Facebook page and a store at both StoreEnvy and Etsy. I’ll be making and selling props of my own choosing and design as well as doing custom commissions.
Right now I have STL files, raw resin castings, and fully finished Voltron Legendary Defender bayards. I love this new cartoon so much. It’s a perfect blend of modern and retro.
I also have a custom commission I did up for sale now–the coffee can from Preacher. Preacher is, in my opinion, the best comic to screen adaptation, so it was a real joy to work on this. It was commissioned as a birthday gift for someone who, I’ve been told, was absolutely thrilled by it.
On Saturday morning, I woke up, saw nothing of major consequence on my news feed and headed out to my rowing class. When I got home, I popped open my news feed and saw the news of yet another famous, inspiring, and influential person dying thanks to cancer. (Thank you and rest in peace, Mr. Cooke. F#$k you, cancer.) As I hopped into the shower, I started thinking about how much cancer has impacted my own life and the geek, man, and father I am thanks to my dad.
