Held together with paint, in a good way


The importance of the final paint job can not be overstressed. A proper finish can turn plastic to gold, cardboard to armor, embarrassing to magnificent. The proper props, costumes, set pieces, etc. start out life as a base material that is light, heavy, cheap, or sturdy depending on your needs & budget. Upon constructing the framework or base to your project, you then apply the details fleshing out the illusion. Finally you apply paint and accessories. In this post I’ll give you a few short tips about painting. (more…)

A BIG THANK YOU!

THANKS Brian Sipe

Special Effects Artist Brian Sipe had an awesome demo
last Friday evening at the Seattle Store. We received many compliments regarding
Mr. Sipe’s appearance. So much so, we are looking to further the relationship
in the near future.

For those who attended, you are aware we are now carrying Mr. Sipe`s movie
quality prosthetics line, 2nd Skinz. We have a variety of latex ears and non
latex wounds of various sizes and ookiness. These professional grade prosthetics
are molded and set by Brian Sipe, himself in his Seattle studio.

Check out pictures of the event here

You can also purchase these items at our Crypticon booth this weekend. We`ll
be holding at booth demos and answering your questions. Stop by to say `hi`
or pick up a pair of fangs while your there!

Grads and Dads!

Graduation season is in full bloom! Don`t forget to order your custom balloons
to beat the rush. We still have plenty of Grad-centric party supplies from
tableware, noisemakers and more!

Father`s Day is Sunday, June 21st, 2009! We`ve got great gifts for your
Pops including the classic BBQ accoutrements required of any properly tended
grill!

Have a safe and happy Summer!

Sakura Con coming up, are you ready?

This year’s Sakura-Con Looks exciting and the only thing in question is what are you going to wear? Party @ Display & Costume has pretty-much everything you’re going to need, with a bit of imagination.

“For what,” you ask?

Cosplay! ie. dressing up as your favorite anime or asian comic book character (manga).

We’ve got Wigs, makeup, accessories like gloves, hats, shoes and stockings. Not to forget the fine selection of novelty fabric from spandex to stretch pvc pleather and stretch velvet!

Come in to one of our three locations to see our great selection.
