Several times a year, Chicago becomes flooded with strange people who obsessively dress up in their favorite fandoms, i.e. "Weebs."

Hi, I'm Slavi, and I'm a Weeb; That's me with my Onix! 
​If working in creative doesn't work out, then I can always count on becoming a Pokemon gym leader!

I started cosplaying 6 years ago and have traveled all over the U.S. and internationally to attend conventions. Most of my builds are 3D printed, and I focus on crafting very large builds. 

I own 3 printers, and currently I'm attempting to build my own (somehow 1000mm x 1000mm x 1000mm isn't big enough!)

Below is just a sample of some of my favorite work and works in progress!

I also work at Best Buy, and once a year (Black Friday) they let me dress up, stand on a podium and make clients laugh! I've worked there since 2012 (my longest relationship!), but I normally wore pre-made costumes. I finally decided to start making my own costumes to elevate the experience. It was def a conversation starter. 

If your agency has fun themed days/parties, you can count on me to always bring my A-game.
