This is myself actually. I have a number of new photos taken recently at Alcon which I will need to upload here as well as my Facebook page.
I have had a good number of people (including Pendelton Ward Him self) mention that they've seen me in loads of photos before but it's my belief that they're often confusing myself with xHee-Heex and her twin who are amazing models and cosplayers. But thank you so much for your kind words, this is most definitely one of my favourite costumes to date.

Man I find that so weird, I don't think our Simon's look alike? XD They both have their own original touches!

There's very clear differences between them but I can understand people making that assumption on first glance. I mean with a big beard, wig, nose and glasses on you and being painted blue is a unique enough look that I don't think people would be used to seeing XD
Hopefully these new shots I'll be putting up will clearly show the unique takes we each have a bit better now.

I know of XHee-xHee's work- unfortunately people circulate the pics without giving credit so thank you so much for tagging them! ^_^ but no- this picture in particular I have seen recently this year but again they didn't credit you. I just love how realistic you make him seem!!!! most of the other works follow the awesome cartoon version but yours stuck in my mind <3

Really? Wow, that's surprising. I didn't expect that to happen at all. Next time you spot it about the place, please send me a link. I'd love to know which sites are supporting my work and hopefully I can get them to credit me as well if it isn't
That is incredibly heart warming to know, thanks once more haha
I have a good number of realistic Adventure Time costumes I'm looking to make which I've had to put on hold for the moment due to other costumes taking priority.... oh and also being broke and without a job right now haha
You have some amazing costumes and photographs yourself so do give yourself a pat on the back too
I look forward to seeing more from you too.
