#cosplay is srs business

[radley-writes]

The London Writing Group gave me flashbacks to that time I went to Comic Con as One Particular Bird Of Paradise (if you know, you know). Turns out, the costume is still hanging in my wardrobe and....

y'know i let myself think for a bit, and she's really trying to convince me (a stranger, mind you) who am i cosplaying, assuming i myself don't know

and if she isn't satisfied with me not answering and actually reach out to me for an answer, i'll just say that i can see that she's clearly a child on the internet that doesn't know how to behave, and in case she's an adult, she really need to learn how to behave like one. and maybe block her

[sarangbe]

halloween is a time that sarang finds himself incredibly busy. the first year he moved to seoul, he made easy cash taking commissions for costumes, wig designing, and makeup styling for those who were interested in going all-out, and now, he finds himself shuffling around what he refers to as an "idol-making factory", all his hours spent trying to improve musical skills that he doesn't have, and likely will never possess despite the instruction he's given. though, he's glad that there's at least a party for him to attend, and that, somehow, he was able to find the time to build some garments for he and some of his friends to wear.

tonight, inspired by yiran, he's draped in rather immaculate mahou shoujo madoka★magica cosplay, portraying the series' titular character in her ultimate form, alongside yiran as homura in her devil form. wanting to ensure that they wouldn't get in too much trouble from the company, sarang designed the costumes to highlight their femininity, but with kisses of masculine shapes and angles; androgyny at its finest. the makeup he did only sells their natural beauty, and honestly, he's very happy with how everything turned out.

all of this makes him miss fashion school. he sees being an idol as a stepping stone to foster his real dream, but he's growing impatient with how long it's taking him to make any advancements in this career path. the other trainees around him all have much more patience, it seems, and being easily bored is definitely his curse to deal with, but he can't help himself. he wishes something would happen already.

nevertheless, he focuses on the night ahead of him, and when yiran asks if they can do the runway together, sarang shrugs. "why not?" as far as he knows, there's no rules forbidding them from doing so. "it only makes sense. besides, we from sr media are kind of expected to destroy the runway. both of us individually are powerful, yeah, but together?" he pauses and giggles; linking his arm with yiran's. "together, we'll be indomitable. i mean—look at us! we're the best-dressed ones here, and you can't convince me otherwise."

this isn't meant as an insult to anyone else, but to highlight the fact that they look incredible... which they do. sarang wouldn't have let them leave his apartment if they didn't. "do you think we should do something a little extra at the end of the runway, though? ooh—do you think you can lift me somehow?" maybe it's doing too much, but stealing the show is important. that's one thing he's learned during his training. "your arms have gotten so big from working out!"

goddess and devil 𓏲 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖ starter for @sarangbe

just a few days ago, yiran thought about quitting cosplaying to diligently focus on his training as a trainee. now, he’s at the company halloween party eating his own words and cosplaying again. he’s completely sure no one will recognise him. first of all, he’s new; secondly, he’s cosplaying as homura in her demon form. yiran had initially refused after looking at her outfit, but after some convincing from sarang, and the fact that the boy has been making his outfits for a while now—he gave in. he made little adjustments to the outfit, covering up more skin but retaining the elegance and the concept of a fallen angel, and then wearing a sheer glittery shawl over his shoulders. he didn’t have time for the wings since it was all too sudden, which was a pity, but then it saves him from a potential backache.

then he pretends he isn’t xie yiran at the party. he takes out his cushion compact and stares into the small mirror, looking at his face over and over again, making sure everything is as perfect as it can be. yiran doesn’t thinks he’s good-looking, and he’s unsure with how he looks like in this kind of makeup style. it’s more gothic, but also a little… alluring? he genuinely isn’t sure if he looks good in this, but sarang helped him out with the makeup, which he’s grateful for. though, yiran still finds it strange that the boy had to sit on his lap during the whole thing. it was embarrassing, but maybe it was the angles… yiran doesn’t thinks too hard about it.

“sarang. the runway,” yiran begins, “are we allowed to do that together, or not?” they were dressed up as a pair, so naturally, it makes sense to go together. there’s nothing planned, but yiran is sure he can come up with something eye catching, somehow.

my nrc ocs' star send-off wishes!

okay, so i kinda wanted to take a break from oc content because.. even though it's very fun, i don't have that much motivation, but it's july 7th and i felt like i should start making wish upon a star content with my ocs because tanabata. that's my motivation dhjdksks.

i haven't drawn their cards yet, but i think i'll draw vance ssr, merrill ssr, austin sr and hayden r. i couldn't decide which boys should get their ssr cards and i went with vance because he's gonna get some good character development and merrill because.. because he's gonna help vance and act like a good senpai figure, haha.. and also he likes stargazing.. it's not because of fanservice i swear

so i don't have their cards, but here are their wishes!

also, i have a headcanon that rsa also does the star send-off because it was mentioned that some other schools also do this event AND ALSO BECAUSE I LIVE FOR RSA CONTENT, but i decided to focus on my nrc ocs this time! i think i'll do a rsa version of this post too though.

also feel free to interact with my stargazer boys and give them your ocs' wishing stars if you want, haha

(timeline info: vance and merrill have already overblotted before and hayden didn't)

avery's wish.

avery: it's hard to believe that they chose someone like you to be a stargazer.

austin: yeah, i also can't believe that this is happening to me.

austin: so can you give me your wishing star already? i have other students to deal with and there's not much time left.

avery: .. fine.

avery: but.. do i really have to say it out loud?

austin: i guess? everyone says that the wishing star won't work if you say it too quietly.

avery: what kind of rule is that??

austin: i'm not a fan of it either. that's why i'm not planning on making a wish myself.

avery: but here you are, trying to convince me to do exactly that.

austin: i don't have a choice! let's get it over with already!

avery: okay, okay! shut up, i'm making a wish.

avery: my wish is.. for roland-senpai to be happy.

austin: roland-senpai? who's that?

austin: is it someone from our school? i don't think i know anyone with that name.

avery: it's none of your business. i gave you my wishing star, so can you leave me alone?

austin: oh, is it someone from rsa-

avery: I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE!

austin: fine, fine, just don't shout at me!

austin: "i didn't expect avery to make a wish like that though. i don't know who this roland guy is, but he must be really important to avery."

vance's wish. (minor spoilers for vance's future vignette)

merrill: hey, vance-chan, don't you think you should make a wish too?

vance: .. why though?

merrill: even if you're a stargazer, it doesn't mean that you can't hang your own wishing star on this tree. you deserve to have your wish fulfilled.

vance: even after what happened today?

merrill: don't worry about that. you did the right thing, you told us how you really were feeling all this time.

merrill: even though you overblotted exactly because of everyone treating you like a kid and refusing to take you seriously, we still keep doing that.. and we're sorry.

merrill: also, you worked harder than all of us, you definitely deserve to make a wish after that.

vance: .. o-okay then.

vance: my wish is.. to become heartslabyul's older brother instead!

merrill: haha, i should've expected a wish like that.

vance: oh, but i won't just wait and hope for my wish to get fulfilled! i'll work hard to become the best upperclassman for the future heartslabyul freshmen!

vance: and one day i'll overthrow trey-kun!

merrill: *laughs* your wish is to overthrow trey? well, that makes sense, he really is the "heartslabyul's older brother".

merrill: i'm sure that your wish will become true though. you're more hardworking and diligent than people think.

merrill's wish.

merrill: ah, i should make a wish too.

merrill: hm, let me think..

merrill: my wish is.. to be able to buy all cosplay items from my list.

austin: heh, that one was predictable.

austin: seriously, couldn't you come up with something more creative? sometimes it feels like cosplay is your only interest.

merrill: you like those photos of mine though.

austin: u-um-

austin: okay, fine, i should stop denying the fact that i'm one of your followers.

merrill: and you're also a member of my fan club.

austin: and i'm also a member of your fan club..

austin: anyway, what cosplay items did you want?

merrill: oh, let me show you. so here's the list..

austin: WHOA, YOU'D LOOK SO GOOD IN THESE!

austin: .. please, forget i ever said that.

merrill: no, i won't~

austin: i just know you're never gonna stop teasing me about it..

hayden: "can i get a break from these two?"

real!jay's wish.

real!jay: um, so can you explain everything to me one more time?

vance: sure! first, you hold your wishing star like this, then you have to say your wish out loud, you can wish for literally anything you want and then your star will light up!

real!jay: but it doesn't mean that my wish will necessarily get fulfilled, right?

vance: .. well, i don't wanna lie to you, so yeah, the star isn't supposed to fulfill your wish.

real!jay: but then what's the point of making a wish? is it all just for fun?

vance: yeah, it's like making a birthday wish, it probably won't get fulfilled, but hey, it's fun!

real!jay: i don't think i have anything to wish for..

vance: again, you can wish for literally anything! it doesn't have to be serious, like.. let's say you want to get this really cool game that's coming out soon. or maybe you want to spend some time with your friends tomorrow. or maybe you simply want to have a nice day!

vance: really, you don't have to think so hard about it. just say the first thing that comes to your mind.

real!jay: i see.

real!jay: then, um, my wish is.. to become useful to ramshackle students.

vance: oh, what do you mean by that?

real!jay: you see, everyone in our dorm is very talented and sometimes it feels like i don't belong here.

real!jay: i mean, i'm not even an official nrc student, i just.. live here, i guess.

real!jay: i'm surprised you even remembered me and came to get my wishing star.

vance: how could i forget about you?? even if you're not really a nrc student, you're still my friend!

vance: wait, how did you get a wishing star then, if you're not an official student?

real!jay: ah, our prefect asked for one more when she received her star. i don't know how she managed to convince the headmaster to do so, but she got it and gave it to me.

real!jay: now you see what i mean? everyone in this dorm is doing so much for me and i want to pay them back.

vance: hey, they're doing it because you're their friend! you don't have to feel like you owe them something.

real!jay: am i really their friend? i feel more like their annoying roommate, to be honest..

vance: don't say that! if i asked them about you, i'm sure they would agree with me and say that you're their friend!

vance: oh, i'm gonna do just that! hey, minnie-chan-

real!jay: VANCE, DON'T!

austin's wish.

austin: i told you all, i don't want to make a wish.

merrill: come on, austin-chan, don't be shy~ i know that you actually really want to hang your wishing star with us.

austin: i don't! ugh, if i make a wish, will you leave me alone?

merrill: no, but i still want you to do it.

austin: well, thanks for being honest.

austin: let me think.. if i make a wish that mentions magical girls, i will sound like idia, right?

merrill: yeah, i'm afraid you will.

merrill: but hey, if you want to make a wish like that-

austin: no, i don't want to sound like idia. i should come up with something different.

austin: .. hey, can you all cover your ears?

austin: i don't want you to hear my wish.

vance: but we won't laugh at you, austin-senpai! you can be honest with us!

austin: NO, YOU WILL LAUGH AT ME! i just.. i just know it.

austin: "even though i deserve it after everything i've said about you all."

merrill: well, if this will help you feel more comfortable..

merrill: here, i covered my ears. you can say anything you want.

vance: i still want you to know that you can trust us, austin-senpai.. but fine, i'll cover mine too!

hayden: go ahead, i covered my ears as well.

austin: everyone.. t-thank you.

austin: my wish is.. to stop being afraid of what others may think about me.

minnie's wish.

minnie: my wish, huh?

minnie: i can do that, i guess.

minnie: can i get a different stargazer though? like deuce or trey, i don't want to give my wish to you.

hayden: i'm sorry, minnie-san, but i'm the one who has to get your wishing star. now, will you please make a wish?

minnie: ugh.. fine, but don't tell anyone about it, okay?

hayden: don't worry, i won't.

minnie: my wish is.. to get "shining luna-chan who's bright as a star" for my doll collection.

hayden: "i have no idea what she's talking about."

hayden: minnie-san, if it's okay to ask, who is "luna-chan"?

minnie: hm.. i guess i can tell you.

minnie: it's a very rare and expensive doll i want for my collection. it's hard to find her, but i still wish to get her.

hayden: oh, that's interesting! i didn't expect you to have a hobby like this, minnie-san.

hayden: i wonder what this doll looks like. she must be extremely beautiful if she's so expensive.

minnie: oh, i have a photo of her saved on my phone. here.

hayden: huh?

hayden: WHAT THE- ahem, minnie-san, may i ask why you like this doll so much?

minnie: are you saying you don't like her?

hayden: n-no.. wait, by that i mean i LOVE her, but-

minnie: i expected a reaction like this. of course, you don't like her, she's not "cute" enough.

minnie: it's fine, a guy wouldn't get her beauty anyway.

hayden: "IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M A GUY, IT'S BECAUSE THIS DOLL IS THE CREEPIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!"

hayden: "if she ever gets this doll, i absolutely must break it. or maybe i should burn it?"

hayden: "it doesn't matter what i do to it, i can't let a doll like this exist."

hayden's wish.

hayden: .. why are you all looking at me like that?

vance: because you still haven't made a wish, hayden-senpai!

hayden: do i have to? i thought i don't have to make a wish if i'm a stargazer..

vance: no, no, you absolutely have to! you worked so hard, hayden-senpai!

merrill: i'm also curious to hear your wish.

hayden: haha, do you all want me to make a wish simply because you want to know my wish and not because i deserve to make one?

merrill, vance and austin: yes.

vance: though you do deserve to make it!

hayden: can you give me some time to think about it then?

merrill: you don't have to think about it so hard. also, we can cover our ears in case you don't want us to hear it, like we did with austin-chan.

hayden: ...

merrill: got it. cover your ears, everyone.

hayden: ah, you don't have to-

merrill: sorry, i can't hear you. now, make a wish and be honest about what you want, okay?

hayden: .. okay then.

hayden: "i don't know why i'm doing this. it doesn't make any sense, there's no guarantee that my wish will come true."

hayden: "but.. i guess i have nothing to lose?"

hayden: "it doesn't look like they can hear me."

hayden: m-my wish i-is..

hayden: "NO, I CAN'T DO IT! THIS IS TOO MUCH! WHAT IF THEY HEAR ME?"

hayden: "i can't.. i'm too scared.."

hayden: ".. no, i should make a wish. that's what he would want me to do."

hayden: my wish is.. to become friends with riley.

merrill: oh, it seems like you're done. let's hang this star together now.

hayden: y-yeah..

merrill: haha, your face is so red right now.

hayden: shut up. WAIT, I MEANT-

merrill: it's okay, you're right, i should shut up.

hayden: you didn't hear my wish, right? please tell me you didn't.

merrill: i really didn't hear your wish. i had my ears covered the whole time, you should've noticed that.

hayden: okay, that's good to hear.

merrill: "i shouldn't mention that i'm good at lip-reading."

riley's wish.

riley: ah, you need my wishing star?

vance: yep!

riley: i don't know what i should wish for though.

vance: it can be anything you want, riley-kun! it doesn't have to be really big or special, you can wish for something simple too!

riley: something simple, huh..

riley: i think i have an idea.

riley: vance-kun, can we play something together tomorrow?

vance: sure, i always have time for you! but why are you asking?

riley: oh, i just wanted to wish for us to play games tomorrow. but now that wish is fulfilled. yay.

riley: i have to use my second wish then.

riley: my wish is.. for me and allen to be best friends.

vance: right, you don't have the best relationship with your cousin..

vance: hey, if you become best friends with him, i won't be your best friend number one anymore! i will be so lonely without you..

riley: no, you will still be my best friend. you're just a different kind of best friend to me.

vance: haha, i'm just joking, it'd be nice for you and allen to get along.

vance: but what do you mean by "different kind of best friend"?

riley: um.. you're that best friend i can play games with tomorrow.

riley: and not only tomorrow, we can play together every day.

riley: allen can't do that, he always claims he's too busy to spend time with me.

riley: but you always find a minute to talk to me despite having so much to do. look at you, you're a stargazer now and you're still being so patient with me, even though you have to get other students' wishing stars.

riley: so thank you, vance-kun.

vance: ...

riley: um, here's my wishing star. here, hold it.

riley: whoa, you almost dropped it. be careful, vance-kun.

vance: yeah, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, haha..

vance: "why is he so nice?? do i deserve to be friends with someone like him??"

Wrestle Kingdom 11 (April 2017)

Tiger Mask is the persona of several Japanese professional wrestlers. The persona was inspired by the title character in Ikki Kajiwara's and Naoki Tsuji's 1968 manga series, Tiger Mask about a professional wrestler who was a feared heel in the United States, but became a face after returning to Japan when a young boy said that he wanted to be a villain like Tiger Mask when he grew up.

In the early 1980s, the bookers in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling promotion licensed the character and created a real-life Tiger Mask, originally portrayed by Satoru Sayama, to help boost their junior heavyweight division. In the United States, Tiger Mask was the first wrestler to simultaneously hold the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship and NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. Sayama played the role until 1983, when he left New Japan due to his hatred for the backstage politics of professional wrestling in general. As Tiger Mask, Sayama feuded with Kuniaki Kobayashi, Canada's Bret Hart, England's Chris Adams, Steve Wright and legendary Dynamite Kid, Mexico's Fishman and the original Black Tiger (see below).

In 1984, the rights to the Tiger Mask gimmick were bought by All Japan Pro Wrestling and given to Mitsuharu Misawa. Misawa also feuded with Dynamite Kid and Kuniaki Kobayashi, as well as Chavo Guerrero, Sr. and Atsushi Onita; he then moved up to the heavyweight division to feud, albeit unsuccessfully, with Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu. In May 1990, after Tenryu left All Japan, Misawa gave up the mask in the middle of a match to wrestle as himself.

New Japan's Koji Kanemoto became the third Tiger Mask in March 1992, but was unsuccessful due to the dominance of Jyushin Thunder Liger. Kanemoto was never able to win a title as Tiger Mask, and eventually lost the mask in a mask-vs-mask match against Liger in January 1994.

Since 1995, the name Tiger Mask has been held by Yoshihiro Yamazaki, who was trained directly (and is officially endorsed) by Sayama. Tiger Mask IV, originally based at Michinoku Pro Wrestling, entered New Japan in 2002.

A fifth generation Tiger Mask, MMA fighter Ikuhisa Minowa, debuted on July 18, 2010 alongside the original Tiger Mask, Sayama, in a tag match for Maki Dojo.

In conjunction with the launch of the Tiger Mask W anime series, NJPW debuted Tiger Mask W on October 10, 2016, at King of Pro-Wrestling. This character was portrayed by Kota Ibushi and teamed with Tiger Mask IV in a match against Kazuchika Okada and Gedo.

In October 2018, Satoru Sayama announced the debut of Shinsetsu Tiger Mask, a student of his with Shinsetsu meaning "true teachings" in Japanese.

Source: Wikipedia

Sure, let’s get the wink-wink nudge-nudge out of the way first. Tiger Mask W is Kota Ibushi and Tiger The Dark is ACH. There, we exposed the business. Now can we just focus on how much fun this was, please?

This was pretty much everything I wanted it to be, aside from Yellow Devil running in and laying down the challenge to Tiger Mask for Invasion Attack. I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with the Tiger Mask W anime, but New Japan went way further than they had to in the pursuit of making this feel like it was part of the show’s universe. For crying out loud, they got Haruna’s voice actress to introduce Tiger Mask in full Haruna cosplay. This is how Wrestle Kingdom STARTED, people.

Also, major props for making sure the Tiger The Dark’s moveset was authentic to the show. Both the Darkness Hold submission and the Darkness Driver tombstone were on display here, which is especially crazy when you consider that the Darkness Hold only debuted last episode and oh god I’ve become THAT fan. Still, if you know anything about ACH, this is probably his dream come true. “Please study this anime very carefully, because we need you to be the real life version of one of the characters.”

Tiger Mask is a Japanese manga series written by Ikki Kajiwara and illustrated by Naoki Tsuji. It was later adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation.

In the manga and anime, Tiger Mask was a feared heel wrestler in America who was extremely vicious in the ring. After returning to Japan, Tiger Mask joined the Japanese League headed by Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki (also Real Life wrestlers) who were then on the verge of kicking him out for his use of villainous techniques. Tiger Mask (whose real name was Naoto Date) was raised in an orphanage, and later joined Tiger's Cave (a criminal cartel whose main activity was to train young people to become Heel wrestlers) to become "Strong as a Tiger".

To save the orphanage where he was born and raised, he decided to go against the main rule of Tiger's Cave (all wrestlers must give 50% of their income to the organisation) and as such he was marked a "traitor" and other wrestlers from the Cave tried to kill him in the ring (while hired assassins tried to do the same outside of the ring).

When an orphan living in the same orphanage as Naoto started to take his heel persona as a life model, Tiger Mask decided to fight honestly in the ring, starting a series of confrontations that eventually brought him up against the Big Bad, the master of Tiger's Cave.

Most people outside Japan, though, only know Tiger Mask as a real professional wrestler from a fad in The '80s. While it only began as a homage and promotion to the fictional character, it grew into a popularity of its own, especially in the West, due to the memorable Dynamite Kid fights. Since then five wrestlers have adopted Tiger's identity: Satoru Sayama, Mitsuharu Misawa, Koji Kanemoto, Yoshihiro Yamazaki and Ikuhisa Minowa, in that order. (Before them, there was also Samson Kutsuwada in Korea, but that didn't spawn a continuous legacy.)

A sequel titled Tiger Mask W premiered in 2016.

[ddarker-dreams]

when i see the words "SR reader" i dont read "Scarlet Ribbons reader" in my mind i see "Senior reader" and it fucks me up every time

oh my god .. now that you’ve pointed it out i can’t unsee it. truth be told, i’ve wanted to find a nickname for SR reader, but i can’t settle on one. maybe scarlatta?? it’s the feminine version for scarlet, so that might work. i’ll have to figure it out sometime ... 

anon 2 said: You think reader would join Abbacchio, Narancia, and Mista when they beat up that random dude right after they betray the boss? I just randomly thought of that scene

she’s not very big on violence unless it’s Absolutely necessary, so she’ll be taking a backseat to that one. sipping on her cappuccino and reminding narancia that he shouldn’t stand out too much since they’re trying to stay under the radar. reader is too busy enjoying her nice lunch lmao. because of crush and talking head she never got to finish it >:((( and didn’t get dessert! betrayed a mafia organization. lost one of her closest friends. narancia almost died. giorno almost died. AND no gelato. what an awful day all around.

anon 3 said: I can imagine, in the fight protecting trish SR reader is just...barely alive. Black spots in their vision, shallow breathing, but standing damn it. Until the test of the team arrives and they just look over their shoulder at their looks of horror, and smiles at (love interest) , collapsing on the ground before they could be caught. The ANGST.

ANON UR MIND IS HUUUUGE!!! I love that so much . It’d honestly serve as the climax for Reader’s character arc. Coming from the hesitation to participate in any forms of violence, to growing ruthless when its necessary. She grew up so fast :’)... I love the idea of one of them catching her (and maybe she could even return the favor later?). AAAA so many good ideas for this scenario...

anon 4 said: Someone should do an SR or SR reader cosplay for Halloween. That would be so cool.

I AM LOOKING... i tried to make the outfit not as Crazy as other jojo outfits are known for being. partially bc i’m not the best at fashion design and because i didn’t want it to be too off-putting. i sketched a better version of the final outfit for reader a few days ago, i’ll post it after i throw some color on there!! if anyone does a cosplay of SR reader i’ll cry ngl ... 

anon 5 said: ugh sorry i keep bothering you, but I just had an awesome thought about a scenario where SR reader dresses up as Trish and changes places with her in order to keep her safe. Could also make for a great opportunity to get close to her attackers to bind them with SR too. Although I'd imagine it would be quite risky.

nonnie you’re no bother at all!! i love discussing this series. especially since i’m working on commissions right now, it’s a good writing warmup!! gets the brain working. i definitely need that. that’d be so cute though omg. trish getting reader’s outfit, and reader wearing trish’s outfit. trish probably thinking, ‘This smells like her...’ while wearing it. AAAAA ... trish would be so enamored with the sight of reader in her clothes!! if it weren’t for the dire situation she’d be able to appreciate the sight more. it’s a very nice view... 👀👀👀👀👀

Oh no it's happening again

[hotglue-me-blog]

Sorry for the long absence. I’ve been very busy working on my first cosplay of the year. This has been the most challenging costume I’ve made so far and there were so much details that i think they would never end. It also didn’t help that i don’t have much official reference except for the single SR card(that doesn’t even have a front look).

But I’m having fun tinkering with the details and adding a few personal touches based on my own interpretation and they’re turning out quite well. Can’t wait to finally wear this XD

[spotlight-report]

After traveling the world, tattoo artist Ben Kaye has been living in New Zealand for almost 4 years, where he has made a name for himself as one of the country’s top artists, with impressive realistic pieces and complex artworks.

Ben is currently in Australia to be part of the Rites of Passage Festival in Sydney, and we had the chance to get in touch with him beforehand in order to find out more about his work and personal experiences during the years.

SR. Let’s start from the beginning. How this passion about tattooing started?

It all started when I got my first tattoo. It was in a cool little shop in Northern England. Steve, he had such rad stuff on the walls, Harley in the doorway, heavy metal on the tiny TV and he didn’t talk much. I picked something off the wall and left with so many questions it just set off a spark and it hasn’t left me since.

SR. Despite living in modern times, there is still a bit of “taboo” about this form of art, especially among the most conservative parts of society. Eg. Having tattoos might play against you while trying to get a job. What’s your take on that?

It’s a hard idea for me, I live in a world of heavy tattooed people all successful at what they do. I think this question is really about job stoppers (face, neck, head, hand tats) if someone has a lower back dolphin tattoo why would a boss or employer see that?!

“…I think the worst are the people that super underestimate what getting a tattoo is like…”

Saying that I understand an old lady that has a different view on tattooed ppl, maybe finds tattoos intimidating walking into a bank and not really wanting to be serviced by a dude with lots of face tattoos. Also that a business owner’s wants to be represented by people like them. It’s easy to be like “ooh that’s bad people should be able to do whatever we want and get whatever we want tattooed” but its not the world we live in. people judge you on everything. if you want to be a lawyer don’t get a savage skull on your neck.

SR. What would you say has been the most challenging piece you have ever done and why? (please provide picture)

Every piece has its own challenges but I find portraits the most challenging. Portraits are very easy to get wrong and when it’s such an iconic character like the Walter White it adds a lot of pressure and can be stressful as hell.

SR. What’s your favourite style? Eg. New School, Traditional, Black & white, Photo-Realism, etc

Realism is my favourite to tattoo, it covers everything and has no limits to design or ideas. It’s a style that can be mixed and mashed with others and is so flexible, it’s exciting to work with.

My favourite style to get tattooed is Traditional. I’m not good at it so good trad artists blow my mind.

SR. Our director, is a crazy Joker fan, and is obsessed with the Joker’s you have done, from the Cesar Romero to that big one with Harley Quinn Is there is any Joker Tattoo you haven’t done yet and you would like to do, or maybe any film or comic character? 

Haha I’m the joker guy aye, I don’t know how I’ve done so many. I still have a few I’d like to do there’s some great cosplay guys out there that release photography based on famous comic covers. They’re Rad.

I’m a bit of a geek so anything from video games or comics gets my blood boiling.

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

SR. Have you ever been in a situation where a tattoo has gone horrible wrong?

Once or twice in the early years. I was doing a nautical star once on a guys chest, not huge maybe plam size and I got so into whatever we were talking about I filled in the wrong side and that was it Fucked it. The client was cool about it so we stopped did a quick re-design and he end up with a much bigger/cooler tattoo that covered the mistake. also it was free. He came back a few weeks after and got another tattoo 🙂

SR. What’s the worst tattoo you have ever had to cover up?

photography by Carol Howell Photography

I’ve covered up some bad stuff, The worst was probably a double cover up. The client had a small old tattoo, then had that covered up with a bad realistic rose and then I covered that up.

Now a days I suggest laser to lighten old tattoos up, which gives the client and me a lot more options.

SR. What’s the worst spot you have ever had to tattoo? What did you do?

There’s good and bad spots on the body. It’s more about the piece, a cool piece in a bad spot is still a lot of fun to tattoo. Saying that straight lines or circles on the ribs give me nightmares.

SR. Obviously, you have had some clients from hell. Which one has been the worst so far?

Most of clients now are pretty good and maybe I’m a little bit nicer 🙂 but in the early years I had people break down and cry, bite pillows and there own hands. I think the worst are the people that super underestimate what getting a tattoo is like. I had a guy when i first moved to NZ, His first tattoo huge Rib piece, outline of the New Zealand map with different native birds etc inside. He quit halfway through getting the outline and never came back to this day I’m sure he’s walking around with just the north island and the top coast line of the south island.

SR. Have you ever refused to tattoo something? Can you give us some samples or things you will never tattoo on somebody?

I won’t tattoo anything offensive. Its’ rare I get asked for that kinda thing.

The one tattoo I refused that really pops in my mind was on a girl that came in with her boyfriend. He was bullying her to get his name tattooed on her wrist. It was insanely clear she didn’t want it so I told him I don’t brand people for a living.

SR. What’s your take on TV shows like Ink Master and Tattoo Nightmares?

I don’t watch them to be honest but I do think anything that educates people about good tattooing and good tattoos can’t be a bad thing.

SR. Have you ever inked a celebrity? Who? What did you tattooed? No… If but if Jim Jefferies is reading this, I got you brah!

SR. For all your fans there. Do you have any spots available for people to go and get inked at Rites of Passage?

I’m all booked up for Rites but I will be back! or come to New Zealand it’s not as far as you think and we have Hobbits……

New Post has been published on http://www.lifehacker.guru/now-27-actors-killed-off-walking-dead/

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? 27 actors who have been killed off 'The Walking Dead'

Some of the core cast may have left the show, but they’re doing big things.

Gene Page/AMC

Over the course of seven seasons,”The Walking Dead” has said goodbye to tons of walkers and what seems like hundreds of minor characters. But they’ve also bid farewell to many of the main cast.

After Carl’s death, only four are left standing from the first season. With the way things have been going, there’s no telling how long that will last.

“The Walking Dead” actors have gone on to become DC Comics’ villains, Marvel antiheroes, and star in Hollywood blockbusters. Here’s what the cast are up to now.

Carol’s daughter Sophia died in season two after getting lost in the woods.

This was a shock because Sophia is still alive in the comics.

Netflix

After searching for her all season, it was heartbreaking to find Sofia was locked up at the farm where everyone was staying all along.

Since her days of being locked up in a barn, Madison Lintz has appeared on Amazon’s murder mystery “Bosch.”

Lintz all grown up.

Amazon

She also acted in “Parental Guidance” alongside Billy Crystal and Bette Midler and took a small role in a “Nashville” episode. Lintz will appear in horror movie “Tell Me Your Name” this year.

Her younger brother, Macsen, currently plays Henry on “The Walking Dead.”

Dale was also killed off in season two.

Dale had a lot of great facial expressions.

AMC

You might have recognized him from his earlier work in “The Green Mile” and “The Shawshank Redemption.”

Jeffrey DeMunn has had small roles on several shows including “Mob City” and HBO’s “Divorce.”

Jeffrey DeMunn with Paul Giamatti in season two of Showtime’s “Billions.”

Jeff Neumann/SHOWTIME

In addition to those shows he’s also taken on the part of Chuck Rhoades, Sr. on the new Showtime series “Billions.” He appeared in 2017’s movie “Marshall,” as well.

Rick killed his old police partner Shane Walsh at the end of season two.

Shane was originally brought on to try out for the role of Rick on “The Walking Dead.”

Gene Page/AMC

Shane died early in the comic as well, so Bernthal was more than prepared to have a short-lived run on the show.

“I fought very hard for the role of Shane, and they were clear with me that I was fighting to play a character that wasn’t going to last too long on the show,” Bernthal said in an interview with Starcasm. “But that was all right with me. That was a gift, because I could really craft a beginning, middle, and end for Shane.”

Bernthal has had a lot of success since “The Walking Dead.” He recently starred on Netflix’s Marvel spin-off series “The Punisher.”

Jon Bernthal in “The Punisher.”

Patrick Harbron/Netflix

Bernthal also worked alongside his former cast mate, Jeffrey DeMunn, in “Mob City,” and landed roles in hit movies “Fury” and “Sicario.”

Next, Bernthal has several movies out in 2018 including “Widows,” “First Man,” and “Stingray.”

Noah Emmerich played the brief, but important role of Dr. Edwin Jenner at the CDC in season one.

Jenner took his own life when he blew up the CDC in the season one finale.

AMC

He “opted out” after he couldn’t find a cure to the zombie virus. He told Rick that everyone is infected and will turn once they die.

If he looks familiar, it’s because he’s Agent Stan Beeman on “The Americans.”

Emmerich went from the CDC to the FBI.

Patrick Harbron/FX

First, Emmerich couldn’t find a cure for the zombie apocalypse and now he can’t even find Russian spies right under his nose next door. Poor guy.

Sarah Wayne Callies played Lori Grimes, who met her fateful end in season three after giving birth to Judith.

Rick’s wife was around until season three.

Gene Page/AMC

She wiped her hands clean of the show after departing. When asked if she kept up with “TWD” or the other characters’ fates, she revealed that she never had to begin with.

“I never watched the show, actually. I’d watch scenes here and there, primarily of other people’s work, but I don’t get a whole lot of watching myself, and if anything, it’s not really good for my head,” Callies said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Since her days of playing Rick’s not-so faithful wife, she landed a lead role on USA’s “Colony” and reprised her role on the “Prison Break” limited series.

Sarah Wayne Callies on “Colony.”

USA

“Prison Break” returned to Fox for nine episodes April 2017. Callies also starred in the film “Into the Storm.”

Daryl’s long-lost brother Merle Dixon was shot in the chest by The Governor in season three.

Merle Dixon returned in season three to be killed off.

Gene Page / AMC

Daryl heartbreakingly found his brother turned into a walker.

Since then, Michael Rooker went to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You may recognize him as the “Guardians of the Galaxy” antihero, Yondu Udonta.

Yondu became a fan favorite after “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”

Marvel

Rooker was a scene-stealer in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” when he said, “I’m Mary Poppins, y’all.” It inspired a lot of cosplay mashups at fan conventions.

Laurie Holden’s character, Andrea Harrison, died in the season three finale.

Andrea shot herself before she turned into a walker after getting bit.

Gene Page / AMC

At the time, no one was expecting Andrea to go since she was still alive in the comics.

Holden has a recurring role in “The Americans” in its fifth and sixth seasons.

Laurie Holden.

YouTube/Adele Pinchelow

Before that she held minor roles in “Major Crimes” and “Chicago Fire” as well as a part in “Dumb and Dumber To.”

Holden has also produced two films, “Honeytrap” for Netflix and “The Time of Their Lives” for Universal. In 2018, she’ll star in “Dragged Across Concrete” with Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn.

Milton was killed by the Governor in front of Andrea in season three.

Milton was a scientist studying the dead at Woodbury.

AMC

Milton was just trying to help Andrea. When the Governor found out about his betrayal, he was fatally stabbed.

Dallas Roberts has been in a string of big movies and TV shows since his departure.

Roberts has been in “Dallas Buyers Club,” “Walk the Line,” CBS’ “The Good Wife,” and “American Crime.”

He’ll star as the lead in Netflix’s upcoming series “Insatiable” about a civil-lawyer-turned-beauty-pageant coach.

Beloved father Hershel was killed by the Governor in season four.

This wasn’t the death we were expecting for Hershel.

Gene Page/AMC

Hershel was decapitated in front of Rick’s crew. It was a pretty upsetting moment for everyone when Hershel’s life came to such a tragic end. Thankfully, the cast and crew at “TWD” made sure Wilson knew just how loved he was before he left.

“On the last day of filming, everyone was wearing suspenders because Hershel wears them and they were applauding when I got there. It was real touching that they cared enough to do something special like that,” Wilson said in an interview with Daily Dead.

Scott Wilson has kept busy with a part in “Damien” and the role of Abel Johnson in Netflix’s “The OA.”

Scott Wilson in “The OA.”

Netflix

Like his old cast mate Madison Lintz, Wilson also earned a spot on “Bosch,” but his biggest role so far has been in Netflix’s “The OA,” which has received a lot of talk since it was released.

He returned to voice his “Walking Dead” character in 2017’s “Robot Chicken” parody special of the AMC series.

The Governor was stabbed by Michonne and shot by his girlfriend, putting a fatal end to David Morrissey’s role on the show.

The Governor went on a rampage in season four.

Gene Page/AMC

The Governor was one of the show’s best villains.

Morrissey barely took a break between gigs appearing in “Extant” as Tobias shortly after he wrapped things up with “TWD.”

Morrisey on “Extant.”

Amazon

While working on “Extant” he got to know the villain who’d be torturing Rick and his crew next. Jeffrey Dean Morgan had the lead role on the CBS show.

Morrissey also appeared on “The Missing” and landed the lead role in Amazon’s new show “Britannia.”

Fans said goodbye to Beth in a surprise moment at the end of season five.

Daryl and Rick’s group searched for Beth only for her to wind up dead once they reached her.

Gene Page/AMC

Beth was accidentally shot in the head after she stabbed the leader of another group.

After leaving “The Walking Dead,” Kinney opened up about how hard it is when characters get killed off.

“Even though there are zombies and it’s based on a comic book, it definitely tackles big questions about our existence and what it means to be alive if you’re just surviving. It felt very real,” Kinney told The Cut. “Being isolated in this place with a bunch of actors, and they naturally just become your family after so much time. And then when people are killed off, it feels very real because they go away.”

Emily Kinney has appeared on ABC’s cancelled shows “Conviction” and “Ten Days in the Valley.”

Kinney is a singer and an actress.

ABC

Kinney turned to other TV shows to fill her time between roles. She also had parts in “Masters of Sex,” “The Knick,” and “Arrow” before “Conviction.”

Her singing career is in full swing as well. She recently dropped two new songs, “Back on Love” and “Popsicles” which came out October 2016.

Chad L. Coleman left the show after his character Tyreese was bitten in season five.

Tyreese started hallucinating in season five.

Gene Page/AMC

Tyreese died due to complications from blood loss after having his arm amputated because of a walker bite.

Coleman has worked on “Arrow” and is currently on Seth McFarlane’s Fox show “The Orville.”

Coleman plays an alien Klyden on “The Orville.” Here he is in an out of costume.

He also keeps up with a small role as Z on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

Robin Lord Taylor played a minor character named Sam who died at the hand of the cannibals in season five.

Sam was seen twice on the show.

AMC/The Walking Dead

Rick ran into Sam in season four of the series before being briefly reunited with him at Terminus in season five. When he and Glenn get stuck in a lineup, Sam is seen next to them before he’s killed by a butcher.

Robin Lord Taylor went on to play one of the main villains on Fox’s hit show “Gotham.”

We think he’s doing all right these days.

Jessica Miglio/FOX

You may not have recognized him without the blonde hair, but Robin Lord Taylor has been scheming and making deals as iconic Batman villain, The Penguin.

He’s also juggling several movies in 2018, including “The Mandela Effect.”

Andrew J. West played leader of the cannibals, Gareth.

Gareth was not a great man.

Gene Page/AMC

Rick brutally killed him in a church after Gareth and his friends ate Bob’s leg.

West went from the leader of Terminus to the grandson of Prince Charming on “Once Upon a Time” in its newest season.

West fought his way through the apocalypse to wind up in a fairy tale for one season.

Jack Rowand/ABC

“Once Upon a Time” will be ending after its seventh season.

He has some movies lined up, including “Tired Lungs” and comedy “Antiquities.”

Noah also said farewell near the end of season five in one of the show’s most gruesome deaths.

Noah received one of the show’s most brutal deaths.

Gene Page / AMC

Noah got trapped in a revolving door and was eaten alive by walkers. Luckily, the fate of the actor hasn’t been nearly as gloomy.

Tyler James Williams took a role on “Criminal Minds” that led to a larger role on the show’s spin-off “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.”

Tyler James Williams got his start as Chris on “Everybody Hates Chris.”

CBS

He basically plays this team’s Penelope Garcia on the show.

Rick’s love interest, Jessie, died in season six’s mid-season opener.

She was devoured by walkers after her son was taken by the undead.

Netflix

Her short-lived time on “The Walking Dead” made a big impact. She played Rick’s love interest before he moved on to Michonne.

Some were sad and surprised to see her go, but Breckenridge probably wouldn’t have landed her next big gig if she had stayed.

Alexandra Breckenridge landed a role in 2017’s breakout TV series, tear-jerker “This Is Us.”

Yes! They’re the same person.

NBC

Breckenridge plays Sophie, Kevin’s ex-wife, who he has rekindled a romance with. (We like her better with Kevin than Rick.)

Since leaving “TWD” she has also continued to lend her vocals to “Family Guy” in additional voices, which she’s been doing since 2005.

Abraham Ford was the first to lose his life to Negan’s bat Lucille in the season seven premiere.

How we miss Abraham’s witty one-liners.

Gene Page/AMC

One reason he hasn’t done too much since he left “TWD” is because he wasn’t allowed to look for a job until after the episode aired.

“Both Stephen [who plays Glenn] and I weren’t even able to pursue work until last Monday so we’ll have to see what is next,” Cudlitz said in an interview with Mirror Online a week after the season premiere.

Michael Cudlitz recently took on a role in an upcoming TV movie “The Trustee,” but has been spending most of his time making rounds at press events and conferences.

Charles Sykes/Invision/AP

He’s currently working on a thriller “Driven.”

Steven Yeun’s Glenn was also mercilessly killed by Lucille.

The show was teasing Glenn’s death for some time.

Gene Page/AMC

Original cast member Steven Yeun, who played Glenn Rhee, also met his fate during that horrific scene, but according to an interview he gave with GQ it wasn’t too hard to let go of Glenn.

“I wouldn’t say it was hard, but it’s been affecting, to recap everything I’ve been through. It was less about losing that character, per se, and more about all the things I got to experience while playing this character,” he said. “It wasn’t hard to let go of the character. I’m saying that now. But I might be crying tomorrow.”

Unlike Cudlitz, he has a put a bit more on his plate. He was in Netflix’s “Okja” and horror movie “Mayhem,” which has received great reviews from critics.

Steven Yeun.

He’s also kept up with voicing Steve Palchuk in Netflix’s “Trollhunters” and Keith in “Voltron.”

Yeun is wrapping up a few other movies out this year, the animated “Chew” and a mystery called “Burning.”

The old leader of Alexandria, Deanna, landed an ill-timed bite to the side.

There was no coming back from this.

Netflix/AMC

She didn’t go down without a fight. She used her last moments to kill some of the undead as Rick and the group escaped Alexandria from harm.

Tovah Feldshuh has been on the CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” since 2015.

Feldshuh went from being a leader in the zombie apocalypse to an overbearing mom.

CW

Feldshuh plays the mother of the main character, Rebecca. You can see her singing on the show here.

Austin Nichols portrayed her son Spencer Monroe, who left the show after his character was gutted by Negan.

Spencer tried to sell Rick out.

Gene Page/AMC

After he met the same end as the comic character he was portraying, Nichols spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what he’s going to miss most.

“First and foremost, I am going to miss the people. Everyone on the show is really a joy to be around. I know everyone says that and people probably say that about every show and movie, but this is really a special show and a really cool vibe around it,” he said.

Nichols jumped from one scary setting to the next. He moved to “Bates Motel.”

He plays Sam Loomis.

A&E

He’ll also be in a movie called “The Iron Orchard” this year.

Sonequa Martin-Green played Sasha who took her life in the season seven finale.

Sasha took a cyanide pill, hoping she would bite Negan as a walker.

Gene Page/AMC, INSIDER composite

Sasha threw Negan off guard when she surprised him as a walker.

Martin-Green later said on the series’ aftershow that her death felt “right and complete.”

“It was quite poetic when I found out how it was going to happen. It was the perfect culmination of [Sasha’s] life. I felt like all of my roads had led to that moment of getting to that place of complete selflessness. It felt perfect,” Martin-Green said. “It was the first time we had ever rooted for a walker but it was also beautiful because the way I saw it is that warrior spirit lives on. Even in death, I was still going to fight because I had realized my purpose: Everything before that had been self-preservation, self-defense mechanisms and basically self-obsession. Over the course of my life as Sasha, it was progressing beyond that to the point where said I now have a greater purpose that’s much bigger than me and that’s for the future and I’m going to do it even in death.”

Martin-Green now plays the lead in CBS’ All-Access series “Star Trek: Discovery.”

Her hair is even shorter for the space show.

CBS

The show was renewed in October for a second season.

Mika was killed by her older sister Lizzie Samuels.

Mika is on the left while Lizzie is on the right.

AMC

A disturbed Lizzie tried to make a point about the undead when she killed her sister on season five. Instead, she simply horrified both Carol and Tyreese.

Kenedy still plays the youngest sibling, but unlike her “Walking Dead” character, Dylan DiMeo is more outspoken and a bit of a prankster.

Juan Gabriel Pareja reprised his role as Morales after seven years only to be killed off one episode later by Daryl.

Morales lived! (For a short time.)

Gene Page/AMC

Fans weren’t happy about Morales’ quick return but the character may have a lasting impact on Rick down the line in season eight.

Pareja appeared on an episode of “Chicago Med.”

Pareja told INSIDER about his and you can read our full interview with Pareja here.

Pareja is also voicing a character in video game “State of Decay 2.”

Chandler Riggs grew up on the show as Rick’s son Carl Grimes.

Carl tripped and fell in the sixth episode of season eight while trying to help out a new friend, Siddiq.

Gene Page/AMC

After surviving roughly three years in the zombie apocalypse, Carl was bit by a walker in the eighth season. He finally revealed the bite on his torso to his father and took his life on the mid-season premiere after saying goodbye.

Riggs has cut his hair, has worked on two movies, and is working on a music career.

Riggs said goodbye to his long hair after over seven years on “The Walking Dead” as he looks to other acting opportunities.

David Becker/Getty Images for Xbox Live

Riggs is just getting started. He recently finished up two films, “Inherit the Viper” and “Only.”

The first film also stars Josh Hartnett and will feature Riggs with a mohawk he debuted on social media.

“I did one in December where I had a mullet. It was really, really gross, but it was called, ‘Inherit the Viper,’ and I play this white-trash, redneck kind of kid,” Riggs told press on a conference call for “The Walking Dead” in February. “The other movie that I did, it’s called ‘Only,’ I get to play this psychopath, deadly, murderous kind of kid. I’m really, really excited for people to see that one because it’s really cool. It was really fun to shoot.”

Though Riggs has been diving into the Hollywood scene, he’s also considering more television.

“I’ve never really been out in LA for pilot season before so it will be interesting to see how that goes,” Riggs added.

If those two things don’t keep him busy enough, Riggs has also been producing electronic music for about a year and a half under the alias Eclipse. You can listen to some of his work here.

Negan’s Savior leader Gavin got a staff to the neck on the mid-season eight premiere.

Gavin handled trades with the Kingdom.

Gene Page/AMC

Little Henry took out the Savior while he had his back against the wall to Morgan, Carol, and Ezekiel. Henry held Gavin responsible for the death of his brother Benjamin.

Jayson Warner Smith will reunite with Chandler Riggs on the movie “Only.”

He’s also currently filming another movie called “Reckoning.”

Jared was brutally eaten to death as Morgan watched.

Morgan locked him in a room full of the undead.

Gene Page/AMC

Jared finally got what was coming to him after killing Benjamin on season seven.

Actor Joshua Mikel can be seen in a lot of other movies.

You may have seen him around.

Gene Page/AMC

He recently appeared in “Game Night” and heckled Margot Robbie in “I, Tonya.” He was also on an episode of the CW’s superhero show “Black Lightning” and will be in Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp” this summer.

Negan choked his right-hand man Simon to death after learning of his betrayal.

Simon got what was coming to him on season eight, episode 15.

Gene Page/AMC

Negan wasn’t pleased with Simon after he ordered the junkyard gang dead. He was furious when Simon tried to orchestrate his murder behind his back.

Now, Simon’s living out his days as a walker attached to the main gate outside the Sanctuary.

You won’t have to wait long to see Steven Ogg on TV again.

Steven Ogg also plays Rebus on “Westworld.”

HBO

He’ll be back on HBO for the second season of “Westworld.” Ogg has plenty on his plate afterward.

“Rebus is back in that world. So I’m happy and excited to continue to be in that show,” Ogg told INSIDER. “Then, there’s a space film that I produced and starred in. Just me. It’s just a one man show called ‘Solace,’ which we’ve been hoping to premiere at TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival]. I’m producer, and more of just an actor on it. With these gigs, one never knows what is going to happen to it at the end of the day. It’s been good to go for a while now.”

“Then, [I’m] to be going to New Mexico in a few weeks, which I’m very excited about,” Ogg said of another project. “The producer is Darren Dean, who did ‘Tangerine,’ and ‘The Florida Project.’ I’m enormous fans of those projects.”

Then Ogg will be working on a role where he’ll play a much different character than you usually see him in.

“This amazing woman, writer, director, Ani Simon-Kennedy is doing this film called ‘The Short History of the Long Road,’ a beautiful coming-of-age tale. I get to play a rather kind of Captain Fantastic, Viggo Mortensen dad, raising a daughter, doing the best he can. I’m excited about that, because there’s no muttonchops, there’s no mustache, there’s no psycho, there’s no crazy, there’s life, love, learning, lessons. I’m really excited to do that,” he said. “That’s with Sabrina Carpenter, who I have not worked with, but I look forward to doing that very much.”

“Other than that, ’tis the life of an actor, and you’re just always looking for the next gig,” said Ogg of one more thing he wants to do. “I would love to get back to theater. I’ve been in meetings in London a lot. I’m very, very anxious to get back into just working in the theater.”
