Boba Fett Costume 2023
I updated my Boba Fett cosplay from 2021 to improve screen accuracy and added a jetpack with working practical effects! Read more about it here.
Ceramics at the Bodgery
Since 2021, I have been working on creating a new local ceramics studio within The Bodgery makerspace following its expansion to the space next door in the same building. As the volunteer Ceramics Area Captain, I had been in charge of planning, facilitating the buildout and fundraising for member equipment. The area was opened in July 2022, became fully functional in early 2023 and has gone through several expansions. Read more about it here!
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Congratulations to Everything Everywhere All at Once for winning the Oscar for Best Picture at the 95th Academy Awards! It was easily my favorite movie of the year! My halloween costume was based on a brief but memorable character from a particular scene. If you know, you know (If you don’t, go and watch the movie already! )
Also, here’s a recreation of another iconic scene that I had to do during a trip to the Grand Canyon.
