Along with my art, I enjoy creating props and costumes from some of my favorite video games and movies. This began in 2007 when my best friend took me to A-Kon in Dallas. After those three days, I was hooked. I soon fell in company with some more like-mined people and we took Shinka Studios as our name. With various members of this group, I have competed and won at conventions around Texas:
