"Art is for Everybody."

COSPLAY is an art form which allows us to embrace the fantastic and bring the media which we are all passionate about to life. Though many of us seek to explore this, others are made to feel this art form is unachievable or too difficult to even attempt. Luckily this week's guest shares how this isn't the case.

This week we are joined by Cosplayer, Actress, & Twitch Streamer Jamie a.k.a. Jamiebearfancypants, who shares how as artists, our only limit should be our own imaginations and they should be set free.
