Statesman participated in the costume parade at Gencon in Indianapolis, Indiana this past Saturday. Here's a video of the parade where Statesman appears at 40-55 seconds.
On August 22, Statesman attended WV Pop Culture Con in Morgantown, West Virginia. He participated in the Adult Novice Cosplay Contest and received a Judges Choice award from one of the judges, Sam Brooker (also known as BioCosplay). Statesman also received a $25 gift certificate to Comic Paradise Plus in Fairmont/Westover, West Virginia.
All of these photos were taken in a brightly lit convention room with a very high ceiling. Evidently, Wes' photographic technique created the dramatic dark background effect--neat!
Statesman attended Cincinnati Comic Expo in Cincinnati, Ohio on Saturday, September 19, 2015. Here are photos/videos of Statesman taken at the Click 360 Degrees booth.
One of the leading pattern makers for superhero dye sublimation costumes, Sonjou of 4 NEO Designs (.com and FaceBook), has just released a new Statesman pattern--both male and female versions. Here is a link to a gallery of images showing the pattern.
You can buy Sonjou's pattern and use it to make your own Statesman costume--just in time for Halloween!
