This was the final result of my old pet raider #costume that I made for #wastelandweekend. I still wear parts and pieces of these but I've changed the vibe quite a bit over the last few years. #costuming #cosplay #cosplaymaker #leatherwork #postapoc #propmaking

Next up on the old #wastelandweekend #costume is this combo #kidneybelt and loin cloth. This has since been cannibalized for parts twice to make lighter more comfortable props 😅. #costuming #postapoc #cosplay #cosplaymaker #leatherwork #wasteland

In keeping with my early #Wastelandweekend kits this is a collar and leash set i made as part of a pet raider character idea I had. As you can tell by the chain this was my HEAVY #prop era. #leatherwork #costuming #cosplay #cosplaymaker #propmaking #postapoc #wasteland.

That one time in 2021 when I made a bolero #vest for #wastelandweekend . One of the very few times I made something with pleather, but it was the pandemic and it was all found materials. #leathework #costuming #cosplay #cosplaymaker #art #postapoc #wasteland #rust

That one time I made a #babydoll head drinking #cup for #wastelandweekend . I actually just this year found out that this cup can hold an entire tallboy can. #propmaking #art #postapoc #wasteland #horror

That one time I made a #bone claw #bracer for my #wastelandweekend #costume. #postapoc #wasteland #propmaking #art

More shots from that not-quite-engagement-photos shoot I did with @petsymatary.bsky.social and her hubby back in 2022. Masks and photography by me. #horror #nun #devil #satanic #leatherwork #masks #art #postapoc

That time I made faux #horror movie accidental engagement photos for my friends. With @petsymatary.bsky.social and her hubby. #photography #leatherwork #masks #nun #devil #satanic #postapoc #art

This year for #wasteland I remade the tops of our puzzle shrines. To look more realistic. I love the way they came out and despite the fact I am terrible at wood work it made me want to do more. #rustorationists #wastelandweekend #cult #shrines

PRAISE DATION. This was the #linocut patch I made for WW this year. I'm pretty happy with how the design came out.

The purpose of art is to reveal the horror of existence in a way that makes everyone horny

Just some linocut punk patches I made for wasteland last year. Really enjoyed modifying Picasso designs for this. I'm only just starting to plan out the new designs for this year. #wastelandweekend #wasteland #linocut #punkpatch #cowskull #picasso

Violent times call for violent measures 🔥

I gotta get in the habit of posting here more. This was a genred bag I had made for wasteland weekend last year. Sadly it's been ruined by mice in the last year but I still think it looked snazzy. #propmaking #costuming #art #postapocalyptic #wasteland #cult

Over 12 years, 11 million people died in the Holocaust. It is estimated that the DOGE shut down of USAID will cause the deaths of 14 million people over the next 5 years.

I wish more people would explore kink so they can learn how to handle their desires in a healthy way. Saw a clip of a guy aggressively hitting on a motorcyclist in full leathers and blacked out helmet. My brother in Christ, you have a drone kink! Go find your people! Stop harassing randos!

My cybernetic eye rig from neo last year. It only got a little use this event because I apparently couldn't keep anything charged all weekend but I still love this costume. #neotropolis #cyberpunk #propmaking #costuming #art #cosplay #kitbash

Just a spaceman with a space plan with my lovely wifey @valkyrfiberworks.bsky.social at #neotropolis

My Corpo look/ beyblade gym leader from Neotropolis last year. Not much in the way of changes to this for this year but still a fun costume. #neotropolis #cyberpunk #corpo #beyblade #costume #cosplay

The WIP, Expanse Belter style helmet I'm working on for Neotropolis. I still have a bunch to do but the broad strokes are done. #theexpanse #neotropolis #belter #propmaking #costuming #cosplay #art #scifi #spacemanfromaspacelandwithaspaceplan

One of the best things about having someone visit from out of town is using them as an excuse to visit your local museums.

Last year I made this mobile beyblade testing chamber for my Neotropolis Elite. It even features the early version of my caution sticker. It needs a couple upgrades this year but thankfully nothing crazy. #neotropolis #cyberpunk #beyblades #propmaking #art #gaming

3 of my masks on display at SEAF in 2022 and the first art I ever sold which was very validating. #art #fetish #kink #leatherwork #mask #fetishwear #apocalyptic #wasteland

I don't model my own stuff that often but every once in a while it works out. This was part of a set with my wolf mask a couple years ago. #leatherwork #werewolf #mask #shibari #bondage #fetishwear #puppyplay #postapocalyptic #art

This is one of the first masks I made way back during the pandemic. I was just starting to explore the connections between fetish wear and horror tropes. #leatherwork #mask #fetishwear #gimpmask #demon #oni #apocalyptic #horror #wasteland #art

It's a weird sensation having your art displayed at the ol' goth club. Did I just become more goth? Am I cool yet? Can I trade in my imposter syndrome for eyeliner? #leatherwork #masks #postapocalyptic #wasteland #gothclub #goth #art #artwalk

If you want your bluesky to replace your Instagram instead of being a Twitter thing, you can download Pinksky. It's not a whole new app, it just reskins your existing bluesky account so it works like IG.

Another shot of Alayynay with my vampire gag mask. Despite my inexperience behind the camera they were awesome and really helped bring the shots to life. #vampire #nosferatu #dentalgag #fetishwear #fur #leatherwork #mask #horror #cemetary #latex #art #photography #fineartphotography #freethenipple

This is why I'm not being productive.

Made this headset for my buddy a couple years ago for when he is performing. Had a blast figuring out how to make him look blind without actually blinding him. Going for a sprawl series low grade hacker vibe. #cyberpunk #hacker #neuromancer #propmaking #costuming #kitbash #craft

For Neotropolis I made these "bootleg" cassettes of my buddies neuromancer harsh noise project to trade and hand out. Had a lot of fun designing the inserts and generally trying to make them as unofficial as possible. #cassette #cyberpunk #bootleg #noisemusic #cassettefuturism #neuromancer

The 2024 Rustorationist pope hat. Praise Dation! #wastelandweekend #wasteland #pope #popehat #postapocalyptic #leatherwork #costuming #propmaking

DEI created a meritocracy. Then a bunch of mediocre white men found out that they couldn't compete with actually qualified people. Instead of getting good they decided to tear the meritocracy down so they could keep being rewarded for their mediocrity.

I know that I know a lot of morbid nerds that like dead stuff. Look at this dead stuff that a bunch of morbid nerds spent a lot of effort on.

My wasteland camp is a labor of love and one of my favorite things is the (faux) stained glass windows we have made over the years #wasteland #wastelandweekend #postapocalyptic #stainedglass #cult #church #chapel #setdesign #graphicdesign #art

For all my lefty friends I really can't recommend "The Dispossessed" enough. It's an old book but it's exploration of anarchist systems is still refreshing.

Shooting with @petsymatary.bsky.social and alayynay (who isn't on here yet) is an absolute joy. Working with them really brought this Frankenstein mask project to another level. #frankenstein #fetishwear #mask #leatherwork #postapocalyptic #wasteland #horror #photography #monster #cosplay #art

BEHOLD! My puppet child from wasteland! Praise Dation! #puppet #parade #wastelandweekend #postapocalyptic #postapoc #wasteland

I love that Neotropolis gives me the opportunity to flex my atrophying graphic design skills. #neotropolis #sticker #caution #beyblade #cyberpunk #ATFL

Figure I should start populating this account with more stuffs. I'm currently working on a new kit for Neotropolis this year so here is a couple shots of one of last year's costumes.

In honor of that thirsty bitch Count Orlok please enjoy another piece from my vamp shoot #vampire #nosferatu #dentalgag #fetishwear #fur #leatherwork #horror #cemetary #crypt #mausoleum
