Manga School Girl Costume
Last week was my new works’ Christmas party. It was loosely themed Japanese – which means that dressing up in costume was optional. Optional costume is not in my vocabulary….unless it comes after ‘Live your life in’. So I dressed up as a manga school girl, the whole costume held together with the creepy eyelid…
Charlie Brown Costume
Today I have taken on a Charlie Brown costume, which is pretty simple to put together. The whole hair/head situation is a bit awkward, but I think it KINDA works. If you’re bald, this costume’s sure to be a winner… Photo credit: Billy Rubin Yellow Polo Shirt: Jay Jays (with Black Electrical Tape Zig-Zag Line)…

Day 355: The Smurfs

Day 346: Dilbert
On June 8, 1957, Scott Adams was born. Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert, a cartoon that satirises the white-collar office space. So today I have dressed as the title character from the comic – Dilbert. Photo credit: Billy Rubin Dilbert Head: Homemade from Cardboard and Texta White Short Sleeve Shirt: Crossroad…
Day 344: Sweden
June 6 is the National day of Sweden. When I think Swedish, the first thing I think of is IKEA, then meatball, then the Swedish Chef from The Muppets.

Day 341: Pop Art
Today I am taking on a user-suggested theme of Pop Art from Noodles. With this as my theme I have tried to replicate Roy Lichtenstein’s comic book art style and look that he is so famous for. The makeup took about 30 minutes, but I’m really happy with it! Photo credit: Holmes Black…
Day 316: Speed Racer
On May 9, 2008, the Speed Racer film was released. For this reason, today I take on Speed Racer as my theme, but have opted to dress in the style of the main character, Speed , from the original cartoon series.
