Hi there! I’m Tab Kimpton and here’s an archive website of my costume work. I mainly work as a comic artist nowadays so unfortunately I now only make one costume a year for myself, but I try to keep the site updated when I can!
I started cosplay back in October 2007 for a small recon in my local town. Since then I have made dozens of costumes, for myself, friends and commissioners. I do a lot of skit and performance work in my costumes, so you’ll find some funny stuff on this site as well as serious costumes. I love making obscenely complex costumes then taking them up on stage and being ridiculous in them.
I have several years experience giving panels and workshops at events, from sewing skills to laugh out loud Yaoi panels. I try to have a fresh set of panels for each calendar year to keep things exciting. If you’d like to have me do a talk at an event for you, please visit the events section to see my schedule and the sort of panels I give.
I run a dealers table at most Anime/comic events in the UK showcasing my LGBT comic work. If you’re interested in LGBT, Queer, Gender and Sexuality comics, feel free to have a look at my comic work at Discord Comics
If you’d like to see why I don’t have time to make as many costumes any more, check out my house renovations at the Fantabulous House
Cheers! -Tab
