SwaggyCosplayer is a cosplayer from Ohio, that I’ve been following for about a year. The best way to describe his cosplay style is: walking nostalgia. He’s given us Popeye, Taz and Darkwing Duck to name a few. With each new cosplay, we get a little glimpse into his colorful world. I love how he puts his own spin on every fit and think you’d love it too.

Here is my interview with SwaggyCosplayer.

9. If given the option, what is something that you would change about the cosplay

community?

Swaggy: The status quo that others are better than others because they can pay for better stuff or are more attractive, that gotta stop…talent has to beat out looks or money, not fair to witness talented individuals passed over
