FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

mingdoyle:

Boston comic fans! Tomorrow, 11 AM - 4 PM, at Comicazi in Davis Square on the Red Line! Come see us!

I’ll be swinging by tomorrow :D

Despite the recent tragedy in Boston, Boston Comic Con is still scheduled as plan this coming weekend (April 20th - 21st). However, be sure to follow Boston Comic Con on Twitter and Facebook for any updates concerning the status of the convention and general security precautions. As of now, please be mindful of bringing prop-weapons to the convention and on public transit - if you have any qualms about whether your cosplay prop will be permitted into the convention center, please contact Boston Comic Con.

As for myself, I will be attending the convention the entire weekend - I will be photographing cosplayers and covering the event for ComicsAlliance. I will also be cosplaying on Saturday with AK and the Boyfriend Wonder, so be sure to say hi if you spot us this weekend!

Are any of you guys attending Boston Comic Con this weekend?
Feel free to drop me a line if you are :)

Boston Comic Con has officially been canceled and will be rescheduled to a later date.

Since convention season is right around the corner, I figured that it’s about time that I posted my convention/events schedule for 2013. Be sure to let me know if you are planning to attend any of these conventions :D

As always, I will have my camera in tow, so if any of you are attending these conventions, you better look sharp (whether you’re attending as a cosplayer or a civilian) - your ensemble may be featured on Fashion Tips From Comic Strips!
