These are some great photos of some really creative people and their creative work. Thanks for sharing them here.

On a related note, I think cosplaying is a great example of hard work that people do for free, that conventions greatly benefit from without compensation. I don't think cons would be as popular without cosplayers. Tickets wouldn't go for as much. Fewer people would attend. Cosplayers add value.

It's just another example of valuable work that doesn't get recognized as work, that people are only able to do when they're able to afford the costumes, and the costs of traveling to and attending conventions.
