 Cosplaying with Dan Jurgens

Monday, May 1, 2017

Dan Jurgens was at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (aka C2E2) earlier this month, and he shared with the world a couple of pictures of the Booster Gold cosplayers he met on Twitter (as @thedanjurgens).

First up is this fine fellow in an unusual, Iron Man-inspired Booster Gold costume. (It reminds me of Booster's ungainly mid-90s suits of armor, but it's still way better than the New 52 costume.) Note his Skeets in Jurens' hands.

Taking a low-tech approach to Booster Gold cosplaying is this young woman. Look closely at what she is wearing on her head:

That's a knit Skeets hat! Hot damn! Said Jurgens:

“Skeets: full service security and information droid as well as a nifty, warm, knit hat for cold Chicago nights.”

We don't have many cold nights here in Atlanta, Georgia, but I'd still give my left arm for a Skeets knit hat!

Twenty-seventeen has been a great year for Booster Gold cosplayers so far. Keep up the good work, Booster boosters.

 In Brightest Day, In Darkest Knight

Wednesday, April 19, 2017

Michael Boruff isn't the only Booster Gold cosplayer out this season. Check out this pose from New England's Super Megafest Comic Con two weeks ago:

That's BattleStardoe as Booster Gold and Everyone's Hero as The Darker Knight. (Photo is from Everyone's Hero post on Cosplay Amino.) What a good looking pair!

 Convention Season Is Here

Monday, April 17, 2017

Last November, we met Smallville-era Booster Gold cosplayer Michael Boruff. Boruff has finally taken his cosplay to a convention, specifically the 2017 Gem City Comic Con in Dayton, Ohio earlier this month.

I love to see smiling Booster Gold cosplayers (and their fans!). Thanks, Michael.

You can see many more pics of Boruff in action at Gem City on DeviantArt.com

 Clothes Make the Man

Wednesday, November 16, 2016

Not too long ago, I shared a bunch of images of a Smallville-style Booster Gold jacket and pointed out that they were all badly altered versions of the same cosplayer.

I finally found a picture of another Eric Martsolf jacket. This one belongs to cosplayer Michael Boruff.

Boruff doesn't just have a jacket; he has a Skeets! Boruff indicates on his DeviantArt page that he's put a speaker inside Skeets so that it will talk. Now that's Boosterrific!

Great job, Michael.

 Body Paint by Luke

Friday, November 4, 2016

We don't see a lot of people cosplaying in Booster Gold's New 52 costume. We see even fewer cosplaying in Booster Gold's New 52 costume made of body paint. So far, it's just Luke Abarca.

You can find other angles of this amazing makeup/graphic design mashup on Instagram.com, where Luke posts as lukeeffects.

Attentive Booster boosters may recall this is the second body-painted Booster we've seen this year. I showed you Kay Pike's work back in April. It's going to be hard to top these two!
