A selfie of myself, sitting down in a red wizards hat and robes, in cosplay as Rincewind

Hi, I’m Smoj, (or if you knew me IRL before my Discord nickname stuck, Tom). I’m a cosplayer and amateur photographer who’s been doing cosplay since 2014 when a group of my friends decided we wanted to experience Comic Con. Ever since that mind blowing MCM London where my shoddy Rocketeer rocket pack fell apart (on the first day, fixed with string and tape) I’ve been hooked and have continued to make ever more elaborate costumes!

The goal of this blog is to show people what I do. Sharing techniques is helpful both to people starting out as well as those with more experience, and I hope that in turn people can in turn give me advice and tips on better ways to go about making my cosplays.

I’ve created this blog to allow others to follow along with my builds, to publish guides and tips for those starting out and ultimately document my experiences wearing the cosplays I make. I also dabble in photography, so I’ll also posting galleries of the shoots I do to show off other people’s costumes - this isn’t just going to be about what I make.

I’m often terrible with social media but you can find me on instagram smojcosplay and tumblr as smojcosplay. Drop me a message if you want to see a specific article or more detail on what I’m doing. I also have a collection of my photography (not all cosplay related).
