This costume started with a mask that I friend brought me from Venice, Italy. It was a blank Zanni mask (commedia del’ arte). I already have a decorated Zanni mask that I brought home myself and the problem with wearing the for Halloween is that you are a mute… you have no mouth. Now since [...]

Getting into the final stretch here. Since we are in the insects vein I thought it appropriate to show you this butterfly even though I did not make it.
Again this girl TOTALLY amazes me with her creativity and ideas. She wants me to make her a peacock costume where all of the feathers SNAP up [...]

Since we did a hugely bankable cartoon yesterday I though we would do a hugely bankable comic today. Bat Man and Robin. This costume works best if the female is short- sorry I mean petite with short hair so that she look more like the the robin sidekick character.
I DID NOT make this set of costumes it was [...]

Since we talked about the pattern (McCalls 8953) being the only adult animal costume I wanted to say a few more things. First, I had to elongate it for a 6′3″ frame and second, I always extend the neck down (on the hood) another couple of inches so there is a good over lap. I attach [...]

O.K. this costume was comissioned by a friend for Burning Man not Halloween but it is still a costume I like to call Radio-Active Bunny.
So Matius (pictured here) pretty much designed this at the shop. But Burning Man encourages you to light everything so he found this stuff called electroluminescent wire (EL Wire)which is battery-operated neon [...]

So you have seen the Beta Fishies. My friend who does not sew and is not so crafty (she does hair) was inspired by the fish heads and she totally amazed me with this:
THE JELLYFISH!!! It was awesome. She probably used ten balls of yarn and that is just a piece of foam core on [...]

Sorry I did not do a countdown yesterday…. way to busy to even look at the computer. And I have a feeling that this costume won’t get as much attention as the last two because there is no nakedness involved but it is one of my favorites.
O.K so me and Dave are GOOFBALLS!! We like [...]

While I was going through costume pictures I found one of the first Halloween together back in 1999. I did not realize that we had a picture of us as Olive Oil and Popeye.
I forgot how AWFUL Popeye’s muscles look (yeah, that is what that thing on his arm is). They aren’t even muscles, there just [...]
