(PLEASE READ) One more shirt update!

I just want to give everyone an important update for transparency sake.

The t-shirt brand I was originally intending to go with no longer has sizes above a large and because of that I can’t use them anymore. The only way for me to be able to offer sizes that range from xs-xxxl is to change the shirt.

I recognize that I’ve never really talked about the shirt brands so I don’t really need to mention any of this but I wanted to be open because the new shirts will be a little ...

Cosplay!?! PART 2

Ok, let’s try this again lol. That last photo was one I had already post so about this incredible edit by Shaun!!

This guy really knows how to make you feel like a real hero!!

Fitness Friday!

I figure since it’s Friday I might as well hit you all up with another fitness Friday! It’s been a weird time because the gyms are all open again but if I’m being honest they seem to be a little too full for my liking. Maybe that’s because this whole Covid thing has made me more of an introvert than I’ve ever been, or maybe it’s because a lot of people are just very excited to get back to the gym. Personally I love to see more people at the gym, or at least they used to.

I w...

THE STORE IS LIVE!

First of all, I hate the picture this link chose to use, and second of all... I actually don't give a shit because I can't believe the store is open!!!!

T-shirts, pins, stickers, prints, post cards, ALL KINDS OF STUFF! 

oh man oh man oh man. I'll do another post post tomorrow that is a bit more well crafted but for right now i just really wanted to share this!

Please make sure you read through everything and check out all the pictures becasue there is some important inf...

Tuesday tease!

Everyone likes a tease right?

I’m not yet ready to share the first (and wonderful) photo of DVa yet but I’ve just seen the results and they are so fun! Just like the pink sofa series these shots are so bright and colourful. It’s something that I don’t typically do, but I just love the neon/80’s look. Anyways I just got overly excited abs wanted to prematurely share. Wait, that came out weird.

Well.. goodbye.

Holy shirt!

Ok folks, the day is right around the corner! Next week I’ll opening up my store and selling some merch! (Shirts, pins, and stickers. Oh my!)

Before I post the site I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a few things.

1) I know the shirts are a bit pricy ($30 US) but pelase understand that every single one of these shirts (the first 100 at least) will be hand made. The logo will be silk screened on the shirts by hand and the signiture tags will be all hand sewn. Also, I w...

Here to Save the Day!

Hello!!! I hear by formally take this opportunity to show you how incredible Shaun Simpson is.

I think that this photo is absolutely fantastic. Even more than that, it’s so fantastic because Shaun built this from scratch. It’s one thing to add a background to a photo, but it’s a completely different thing to make your model look like they’re interacting with the scenery.

It was such a clever idea and some thing that we didn’t think about at all during the shoot. And hone...

What I’m Wednesday!

This week has been… a week. I’m still slowly chipping away at these damn toy shelves but I’m not going to talk about them again until they are done. NOPE NOPE NOPE. Out of mind, out of sight.

This week I wanted to talk about Lucifer. Not actual devil himself, but the show about the devil. I’ve retired multiple times to get into it but I just couldn’t get behind the episode of the week with a very slow overarching story playing out in the background. Luckily, during this third...

Throwback Bedroom!

I recently found this picture of my childhood bedroom and I feel like this explains A LOT.

The Disney wall paper is EVERYTHING and I’m holding on to this picture forever so that when I have my own house I can get the design remade!

Obviously the ninja turtle poster is incredible, but what is even more incredible is that it’s all the turtles in their red masks! This was likely my uncles poster first as the turtles wore the red masks before I was born. But maybe it was after p...

“What I’m Wednesday” is BACK!

For those who don’t know/ forgot cause I haven’t done it in a while, “What I’m Wednesday” is a weekly update on my life/what I’m currently engrossed in. It can be comics, movies, cosplay, fitness, travel, or any thing really. For example, this month I want to talk about making my life more enjoyable. Or I guess what some people call “happiness”.

I had a great little therapy session where I talked about taking my own happiness into my own hands and what I can do to make e...

Shattered Reality!

Continuing with the Pride cosplay theme, here is an incredible edit by Shaun of my Wiccan!!

LOVE YOU!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to quickly (and I actually mean it this time) say thank you all so much. This has been an incredibly stressful year that didn’t really get any easier. I’m so thankful to have all of you to lean on. You know no idea how much joy I get from all of you. Whenever I feel down you are all so quick to bring me back up. Even without doing anything extra.

I fucking love you.

Ketchup and Mustard!

I know that that title is reaching a little bit, but I’m trying to think of what name or theme I can give to this and there’s something about ketchup and mustard that I really like. I mean… I like ketchup and mustard normally anyway, but it’s kind of a cute name. Or maybe it’s a disgusting name?

I guess the name doesn’t really matter because what’s really important is the photo, and the photo is great! So yeah… just ignore everything I just said.

Snap chat Sunday!

I’m sorry that this is headless, but it’s hard to get all that body-ody-ody in one photo!

This snap is from one of the photo series Shaun and I did, but It’s a little too soon for those results yet!

Happy Sunday y’all!!!

Up North!

How about a little bit more queer Canadian cosplay?

After the last time I posted Northstar I saw that a few people commented about going to check him out, and that made me so happy! He’s such an important and integral part of queer comic history and I feel honoured to have brought that to your attention!

I think I’m going to do my due diligence over the next two weeks and start rereading alpha flight so I can get myself a bit more familiar as well.

Boy oh boy, would I l...

Kneely Good!

There is soon to be no more pink couch so before I start to get the album set up, I’m jus gonna spam a few of my faves!

Apollo-gizing!

Sorry for this really cheesy edit but I don’t actually know how to do anything lol.

I’m sad because I don’t know where this suit is and I never got the chance to do anything with it! I know I have it somewhere so maybe I’ll just wait till I’m blond again.

I’m also just realizing not everyone will know this character so… yeah. His name is Apollo and he is a gay superhero from DC comics who is Superman like in powers. And fun fact, he is married to another DC hero na...

Power Up!!

I’ve been saving this photo for a while because… Well it’s just one of my absolute favorites. When Shaun and I were shooting the green lantern series I came to him with this concept not knowing if it would be a possibility or not. Of course that’s a little foolish because clearly Shaun can do pretty much anything. All I knew was that I had seen a photo of Green lantern transitioning into his costume and I loved it. (i’ll attach the photo to this post)

This photo is just so co...

Boy Toy!

For the past year these toys have all been sitting on the top shelf of my closet collecting dust. Don’t get me wrong, they looked good but I really wanted to give them a proper display! I caved in an bought my first ever bookcase and I’ve been obsessively organizing them every since. There are still two more levels left but I’m getting there!

One this is REALLY realized it that I have WAY too many toys. What you see in Thai photo is literally about 55%.

My name is Mike, and...

Shirt update!

Dear Lord, creating the shirts has been an absolute nightmare, but I’m so proud of how they’re turning out. Unfortunately due to the fact that my city is in a complete and total lockdown, the shirt process has been put on hold. As of right now I’m thinking about taking pre-orders for two weeks in June only and hopefully having them shipped out by mid July. This is going to be an incredibly slow process but I have lots of fun little extras that I’ll be talking about soon. Thank you so ...

Welcome to the Jungle!

You know, if the jungle was one fake plant and a large fake leaf.

On the plus side, no bugs?

Secret Identity!

I hate to look like I’m stealing superman gig of ripping off his shirt and having a costume under it, but this shot is just too good not too!

This look is taken from the idea of bombshell Hal Jordan. There aren’t very many references for this luck, but I saw it once and from that moment on knew I had to do it!

I just though it would be something a little fun to add to the regular cosplay shots!

Cosplay Print!

Here’s a look at this months 8x10 cosplay print!

I chose this print because it was a perfect mix of everything I look for in the photo. It showed off the quality of the costume, Shaun‘s incredible editing, it was also plain enough but it’s not too busy or distracting.

That’s a fancy way of saying there’s a spot on the photo that I can sign, and write things on.

I just think it’s a cool photo, and also it’s name isn’t Luke. So that’s pretty good

Give a little thanks!

Hey everyone! I don’t know what it is, but I’m feeling particularly grateful today. I mean… I do know what it is. It’s being back in full-blown lockdown, But being so grateful that I still have a job.

After editing and posting that video about cosplay being my job, I’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing and soul-searching. That sounds a lot more cheesy than it really is but I don’t really know what else to call it. I guess I could just call it “thinking”…that would be w...

Grab on!

Hi everyone! I'd love to introduce you all to this month 8x10 lewd print! His name is Luke and he is very excited to to be a part of this months print team. please make sure you give Luke a warm welcome when he makes his was into your house!

(what the fuck am i even talking about)

From the Side!

It always feels like somebody’s watching me! And thankfully, that somebody was Shaun Simpson because holy moly did this photo come out beautifully. It’s very very rare that there is a photo of me not face on towards the camera. Especially when it’s a model shot rather than A cosplay shot.

I don’t know what it is, but some thing in my head always tells me that the best shots are front on. And listen… I know you’re all screaming, the best shots are from behind, but that’s no...

Hal bout That!

I’ve been talking a lot about how much I love seeing myself as green lantern, but before the shoot I decided that I also wanted to do a different version of Hal Jordan. I quick sourced some stuff and put together a quick “bombshell” Green lantern. Here’s a little tease!

New Videos Coming soon!

I know it’s been a long time since I made a YouTube video, but don’t you fear because a new one is on its way next week! I took a little break from video editing because it was a bit overwhelming and it was also... you know, lewd month. I feel like I’m back in the swing of things now though so get ready for videos to make a come back!

Get Close!

More retro goodness coming you way!

I’m Loving this photo because it offers a view that is so rarely seen. It’s the type of shot that I could never get on my own, and one that Shaun and I don’t capture that often because we don’t often shoot in a place where I can lay down. It’s such a stunning shot, and I can’t complain becuase all I had to do was lay on a comfy couch! Thanks for the hard work Shaun!

Feel the Power!

OK folks I know I talk a lot about how great Shaun‘s work is, and we all know he’s a great photographer, but can we Also appreciate how good his Photoshop work is. I just can’t believe how well this photo came together, and it’s so amazing to see myself as his character using his powers. Damn damn damn this is good!
