I really wish I'd found this sooner:
On DeviantArt.com, cosplayer Vanessa takes credit for her role as a humanoid Skeets:
This is from about a year back [at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo 2013] where my bf and I were Booster Gold and a humanoid Skeets at Comikaze. :D It was our first cosplay and we really didn't know what the hell we were doing. Only one person got that I was Skeets (lol), but after I told the admiring Booster Gold fans, they were very excited. I've never seen a Skeets cosplay, so I thought I was pretty darn original, and the people who got it loved it. The best part was that every time I sat down I would leave a glittering gold butt print. It was great.
What a great idea!
The photo was taken by David Ngo, whose cosplay galleries on Flickr.com are truly staggering. You can see more of Vanessa's ideas at Fatalist555.DeviantArt.com.

Thrice before we've seen The Blot's Booster Gold sketchbook commissions. (Here, here, and here.) Now that convention season has returned, so has The Blot!
From left to right, those sketches are by Aaron Lopresti and Neal Adams (!) commissioned at Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas, his past weekend. Click on the images to see The Blot's larger pics, or visit the whole sketchbook in much larger detail at The Blot Says' Flickr page. While you're out and about, also consider dropping by The Blot's blog, TheBlotSays.com.
Footnote: via Twitter, The Blot paraphrased Neal Adams as saying it was only the third time he'd drawn Booster Gold. Adams hasn't ever drawn Booster in a DC comic so far as I am aware, so where are those other Neal Adams Booster Gold sketches, hmm?

So so nice! Interesting how Neal Adams used stronger lines for the features under Booster's visor--but I guess that's the choice a great artist would make.

Neal Adams drawing Booster Gold?!? Am I in heaven?? I've always been a fan of Lopresti's work.

David dropped by the comments on Tuesday's post about C2E2 cosplayers to point out that I had left out an important participant. Namely, I'd left out him. And he seems none to happy about that. Clearly, he went through a lot of trouble to let me know.
Sorry about that oversight, David. I'd hate to miss a Booster Gold costume with a sweet collar like that. I'll try to be more thorough in the future. Or the past. Or whenever. (Time travel is so complicated.)

Haha this shouldn't make me feel like as much of an asshole as it does. My booster went largely unnoticed, other than the pictures I took I couldn't find any.
As far as Booster goes, I'm a super fan, I even have Booster Gold and Blue Beetle tattooed on my arm. It's basically a serious medical condition.
As far as the costume goes I wasn't upset you missed me, Boosteriffic is just the only place I know that appreciated the Corporate Crusader as much as me.
The design is mine actually, I'm an independent comic book artist, it came out of a discussion about back to the future and Booster getting stuck in the fifties. The idea being he had to have Ted rebuild their equipment and it ended up like a bad 80s movie about the fifties.
The jacket is all leather, custom made by the lovely peachykiki.
Stay golden, and thanks for the love lol.

Enjoy the spotlight, David, and don't feel embarrassed. Demanding your due is the Booster Gold way!
(We're going to need proof of that Blue and Gold tattoo, by the way.)

I'd love to know what you wonderful Booster Buddies think of all this.

The first thing that I have to say is, "a Norm Breyfogle Batman tattoo?" You know he's never drawn Booster Gold, don't you?
Clearly, you are a Booster Gold superfan, David. I tip my goggles to you, sir.

How is it convention season again already? Where does the time go? Fortunately for us, RottenTomatoes.com has harvested some Booster Gold cosplay pics from this year's Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo.
So far this season we've seen a fat Booster, a tall Booster, and a girl Booster. It's starting to look like Booster Gold has his own "family," classic Captain Marvel-style! Shazam!
You can see all 137 of Rotten Tomatoes' C2E2 cosplay pics here.

Booster booster Herbert Fung has visited the 2014 Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo last weekend where he added this David Finch sketch to his personal collection of Boosterrific portraits.
It looks like Finch's Booster Gold means business! Thanks again, Herbert.

Just as a fun FYI, David Googled Booster and used this image as a reference to do his drawing:

Really? That was based on the cover of BGv2 #32? I wouldn't have guessed! Explains the older costume.
