Photographs by Pirate Pebbs 2012

I danced for quite a number of songs, when some kinds began dancing with me.

After a while, from dancing & also the heat plus wearing a 25 yards satin gypsy skirt I became thirsty & tired, when all these kids came in and wanted a picture with me.


The photos don't even show how many kids there were. Then, several people came to pose with me, for photos. I was so thirsty.

So much stuff happening at the time. Hard to remember it all clearly.

I had a new job, training, money issues, exhaustion problems, back issues, adjusting to the summer heat in the Delaware Valley...

Pirating In Ye Olde City Philly After Comic Con 2012

 Pirating in Olde City Philadelphia with Pirate Pebbs, Malik, my bother, and some old friends from NJ that I used to hang with in high school & college.

Sunday Dress Down Philly Comic Con 2012

Pirating is tough... 
So it's:
 traveling from Boston-Philly overnight,no sleep, Karaoke, rave, work, makeup, costumes, sell prints, paint some faces, get into press section & shoot 5 Star Trek Captains, baby sit a kid, sketch for fans, do Misc. Con Photography with my camera, with other people's cameras, Starbucks runs, save parking spots, win a drawing contest, and also cram in time to eat...

So, u can probably see how exhausted I was....
The bloating I had this day was really painful!

Stress hormones plus ovulating hormones, plus, I ate something with MSG, and I have IBS.
 And, I did all of that on the good grace of people like my classmates & very good friends.



Here I am with my friend, and former coworker from AMC Marlton 8 NJ. He's a Pro photographer and went to both art colleges I did.

He was good enough to get me in with him to photograph The 5 Star Trek Captains!

That was probably 1 of the highlights of my whole life!

 Naughty!
Stealing from a Pirate!

 Here's my friend George!
Weird coincidence how I know him! Pirate Pebbs' cousin also my friend went to grade school with him, and we connected through FB....

Turns out He has the exact same birthday as I do, but a year after me. But, I was born on the other side of the river in NJ, in Willingboro which is not far from Philly.

We've both traveled abroad, have trouble getting employed, are activists, like dressing up, comics, and he's a self taught artist as well.

 Wow! I looked utterly exhausted. I look awful!
I'm really dressed-down here...

No makeup... but I got my CJ7 necklace I got in China!

The Table At Philly Comic Con 2012

Our table at Comic Con 2012
It's actually Pinkimoon's (Elisa Lau)!

You can see my old art/prints ("Black UniGryphon").

Pirate Pebbs setting up her face paints!

Yes, that's a "green screen" we're Computer Animation Graduates (AIPH).

I bought some My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fan art!

I got some for my daughter, and for Pirate Pebbs' daughter too!

Some of my work did sell. But, I wasn't making crazy money. I mostly did some face painting for Pirate Pebbs, but we all shared.

Also at the table Pirae Pebbs was plugging Dr. Thunder Karaoke, and her Strait Cross Dresser work. She also hangs out & parties hard with really hot Trannies.

Saturday Pyrate Costume At Philadelphia Comic Con 2012

Pyrate Marshall Kändiß @ Philly Comic Con 2012
Saturday was the BIG DAY! 
Wearing the Blue choli bodice, that I also made. 

But, my makeup was toned down because I wanted to go see ALL 5 STAR TREK CAPTAINS!

Luckily, I ran into my friend Steve, and we both went into the Press Section to Photograph the 5 Star Trek Captains. That was SUPERLATIVE!

If you want to see the photos check my other blog, or my Flickr.

Marshall Kändiß Friday Pyrate Costume Philly Comic Con 2012

Marshall Kändiß The Pyrate (Cosplay by "Black UniGryphon" Kandice Zimbleman) at Philadelphia Comic Con 2012 

Artist @ Dealer Table w/Pinkinmoon & Pirate Pebbs, face painting and selling prints.

 The Friday Costume was probably my most decked-out costume day. I wore the green bodice that I hand made, and I think I wore my red satin 25 yards Gypsy skirt imported from India.

Red feathers eyelashes/extentions/falsies.

Painted tattoos.

I even went to a "Drink & Draw" contest, which I WON, but have NEVER received my prize for EVER.

 Do I look exhausted to you?

Arg.... the life of a Pyrate!

 Pretty exhausted...

Not used to so much moving around. Barely any sleep.
Also painting faces... I think Pirate Pebbs has photos of the face paintings I did... I honestly don't recall who's face, or what I painted....

No clue...
