Some updates:


(Above: a collection of some of the stuff I've done over the years)
It's been an interesting journey, and it continues in ways never expected.

Over 30 years ago I attended my very first scifi convention (at Toronto Trek aka Polaris). As the weekend progressed I realized it was a life-changing experience in a positive way - but not to the extent that it would eventually become. To so many people I owe many more thanks.

I've been working on a project called Red Flags In Fandom, seeking to empower fellow members of the community to be aware of the negative aspects in hopes of protecting both person and pocketbook. So far it continues to be a rewarding experience. 

Economic realities have also been a factor, hence why I have scaled-down some of the previous features, such as the nostalgic photo gallery going back decades, as well as the original Snake-Eyes Tribute site. Those photos are still archived and can be retrieved if needed, but this also frees up resources for other uses as all traffic/visits should now redirect to this page.

I'm still around and can be found at conventions here and there, or online... I've added links below.

Be well, be safe, and have fun.

Those of the old-school crowd might recall an awesome convention called Toronto Trek (later known as Polaris) and my work there over the years. Here I am having fun on the job oh so many years ago:
Something I did March 2024, a new Jedi cosplay using a new xenopixel lightsaber (on flashblade mode) from xtralifetg.com  photographed at Hacksmith Industries:
My first true effort in putting together a costume was of one of my favourite characters, Snake-Eyes from the 80s Marvel GIJOE franchise. I began that in 1999 and it evolved in different forms, Here's an example of one of them prior to putting that into semi-retirement:
