Where the Magic Begins ...

After 5 years of supporting, cosplaying, and flaunting my love for all things Laytonesque - I can officially call myself Professor Layton TRASH! 8-^D

Here’s my Laytonesaue fan merch, FEAT. my Professor Layton Ita-Bag! - This is a two-tone backpack created by the Filipina artisan group, SHUMI ART! #ProudPinya #SupportLocal

I’m so happy I can being out my *one true fandom* as an Ita-bag owner with this product, and I highly recommend SHUMI ART if you already collected buttons that need a quality custom home to be housed in! ;)))

“The truth is always stranger than fiction!” - Katrielle Layton

Here’s a cosplay test for Katrielle Layton, in celebration of the Nintendo 3DS debut of Layton’s Mystery Journey, since yesterday! (October 6th) *heavily breathing*…..NOBODY TOLD ME THIS!! IT’S oK hERE’S A THING nOW!!

While searching for cosplay-esque clothes in my closet, I wanted to test for two wig colors (Copper Red, or Coco Brown) with my outfit, and the wig I received was already in braids….paired with my Layton cosplay, the Professor Lady Layton outfit was created! Inspired by the DLC outfits you can buy in-game, I’m also considering that outfit as an alternate cosplay! 

….Makes me wonder if I can pull off another puzzling adventure when I get MY COPY of the game….!

My artistic tribute to remember 9 / 11 …

Alfred Jones, AKA America takes a patriotic vigil in front of 2 flag poles, only one bearing the US flag at half-mast … They symbolize the Twin Towers, one stands as one has fallen …

It’s been about 8 years since I made this piece when I was active in the Hetalia fandom (2011). It’s an older piece of Hetalia fanart, but I’m proud that I was able to create such an expression, as both a Hetalian and American with an international compassion for culture and community. I can’t say much about the political nuances behind the current information/opinions about 9/11, but what matter was that it this event was a devastating blow to humanity. I hope we continue to learn from both the past and present to pave the way to a better, brighter future.
