SubscribeAlthough my childhood memories are primarily punctuated by cartoons like Batman: The Animated Series, DuckTales, and Disney’s Gargoyles, I was exposed to a handful of anime in my youth. One offering in particular – Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke – resonated with me for years to come. To some degree it retains a special place because it was one of my first forays into the world of Japanese animation, but it additionally warrants fond recollection for a powerful story and moving performances. When I was invited to Katsucon 2012 as a cosplay guest – a massive honor and an amazing experience – it only seemed natural to take on San’s deceptively simple garb from the Ghibli film.

Public Facebook Page Live
I’ve been dragging my feet for a year trying to avoid it, but finally caved at created a public Facebook page. After my personal profile maxed out on friends and started glitching, I spent eight hours culling down my friends list to only close friends and family. Funny enough, now I don’t even update my personal page – all my new costumes, photos, and random internet findings are posted here.
Feel free to “like” if you want to keep up with me.

Cosplay Feature: Anya Stroud
I loved making this costume despite the bruises, blisters, and blood. It seems I say this after completing every project, but this is hands-down my favorite cosplay to date.
