I like the heat, whether it’s on stage or Houston in August. I was born for it. I’ve been cosplaying since I was a little kid. Halloween is my Christmas. I’ve been attending cons since 2000, but it wasn’t until around 2005 that I finally started taking it seriously. I studied Graphic Design and Interactive Multimedia, till I found my passion in Costume Design. I attended UofH for Theater. I spend my free time (what little I have of it) gaming, cooking, eBaying, and bettering my cosplay craft. I love leather and heavy cottons. And, marine vinyl... Mmmm.

 

About Cosplay!

 

My goal is to cosplay the vast and diverse array of all my favorite video game characters as my way of paying homage to how much they have inspired me to become who I am today.

 

Working behind the scenes, on behalf of both gaming and cosplay, DDC has helped fuel, run, and promote projects such as A-kon's 2008 Guinness Attempt for "Most Video Game Cosplayers Gathered in One Area" and A-kon's 2008 "DoA and Video Game Cosplay Contest," plus helped bring Cosplay awareness to the dimly lit back rooms of gaming events.

 

"Video games are the inspiration and the driving force behind my cosplay."

No matter how crazy busy I get (and trust me, I can get pretty crazy busy), I'll always take time out of my busy schedule to play games, hang out at cons, and always help out fellow cosplayers. Feel free to stop me at cons and say "Yoh!" (Hint: I'm usually in the game room, heh. *sweat drop*)

 

About Gaming!

 

I'm actually REALLY into gaming. I'm a Certified Host and the Leader of the Houston Chapter for the Nation Video Game Association. Mostly I'm an active Tournament Organizer (particularly for Brawl) and that love of gaming has translated over into Cosplay!

 

In fact, I like gaming so much, I created Digital Dimension Gaming, which is the gaming group that travels to many cons to run the video game rooms or help host gaming tournaments all over TX. One day I hope to open up a video game lounge. So, please wish me luck!
