I would love to say a big thank you to everyone I met at Anthrocon. I had a wonderful time at the event, and I can tell you that it is the support and love of all the fans of my work that keep me going. It was a fantastic success and I cant wait to see you all again next year. The cooling vests were the talk of the show this year as costumers/fursuiters snapped them up pretty quick. being able to go to the dance in costume and remain cool seemed to simply sell the system by itself. Also check out the new test videos of the latest polar bear with the full vision and hearing system. You will get a laugh at the second jaw test. More to come I promise as we start new projects left and right. ...

My motto is to try and bring the best possible costuming to life within the price range of the average person. Although I can to commercial level work with commercial level materials if required, much of what you see here will not set you back the tens of thousands most professional production houses charge. I have countless years of experience in engineering and was an engineer well before I was an artist. I have a background in both robotics and electronics. Also with extensive background in leatherwork. I can do detailed armor and costuming to fill out the full look of the creature you are looking for. My masks come standard with articulated jaws that move with yours, and I can design and install electronic and mechanical modules to fit your needs. Dragon head with smoke? Need a video camera installed...

To say I had fun at Dragon*Con is a HUGE understatement! The event was incredible and walking about amongst the crowd of 40,000 at the event gave me a wonderful adjustment to the view of why I do what I do.

Check out this album for photos of the crowd reception of my work as I walked amongst the crowds. The wide eyes of kids as they looked up at me and asked "Are you real?" Thousands of photos taken there I never felt so loved for my work in my life. Why do I spend 70+ hours a week in front of the work table? THAT is why. To bring to life, to bring into the world creations and creatures for a clear and wonderful mom...
