Please welcome our second Cosplay guest! We are beyond happy to have this talented woman with us this year! Rebecca Lindsay, also known as Vosk, is an avid gamer and geek from Halifax, Nova Scotia, who got into cosplay after her first convention in 2014. Always up for a challenge, her first costume was a rushed build of Annie from Attack on Titan a week before the con--which only fueled her need to learn and grown with the craft. She has a passion for all things SoulsBorne or dystopian and is currently working on a comic called Background Radiation-- both in the costume department and as "townies" and "raider grunts." Rebecca is a huge advocate for body positivity, mental health awareness and inclusion of all, and loves what the cosplay community has done to help break down barriers for so many people. She hopes to help the process in any way she can, and firmly believes that anyone can cosplay anyone. It's all about having [...]

Excited to announce our first cosplay guest!!! Please Welcome Fanboy30 Cosplay and Photography to Impossible Realities. Matt Parsons, also known as Fanboy30, is a mild mannered geek from England who now resides in Halifax NS. He is a trained photographer and t-shirt artist who jumped headfirst into cosplay about three years ago and hasn’t looked back. It felt like a natural progression to combine his love of cosplay with his photography skills, so he has recently started shooting both at cons and on-location. He has designed official shirts for Marvel, Hasbro and Adventure Time, but his biggest success is with the show Supernatural where his artwork has been worn by numerous cast members at conventions. He was even lucky enough to collaborate on a design with one of the current villains from the past two season Mr.Ketch! Matt has also become an active member in the local cosplay community by supporting his fellow costumers at a monthly meet up called ‘Cosplay Over Beverages’ in Halifax. [...]
