Greetings my fellow Nerds,<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have so many cosplay interviews to share with you that I couldn’t wait until Monday to release the next one.\u00a0 The following\u00a0cosplayer is simply amazing!\u00a0 You may know him as Spidey or Green Lantern, but I know him as Terrance aka Amazing T.\u00a0 I have been a fan of his for a while and through some mutual friends, I was able to get an interview with this talented cosplayer.\u00a0 After reading this interview and looking at his work, you to will call him AMAZING!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Who are you and where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am something that you’ll never understand. I’m Batman. Just kidding, my name is Terrance and I am from the United States of America, currently living in California, born in Michigan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. How did you discover cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that cosplay discovered me actually. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid. Does that count? Well, adult wise, I got a job being Spider-man and it kind of grew from there. I started making my own Spidey masks after trying to improve on the liscensed one I was wearing for work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. I really love your Spider-Man cosplay. What made you choose him?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you very much. I’ve always been a big Spider-man fan, but I feel like it chose me. Being Spider-man started as a job and then I just really enjoyed it. Bringing smiles to all the Spidey fans (adults and kids alike) I can relate to Spider-man’s idea of “the right thing to do” and the fact that he does the right thing while having every day problems to deal with.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Who is your favorite hero to cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the characters that I cosplay Spider-man is the favorite because of several reasons, but thats another story.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Do you have any plans to cosplay a character you haven\u2019t done yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. Yes I do plan on cosplaying a character I haven’t done yet. I plan on doing a cosplay from Joss Whedon’s Firefly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. What is your favorite way to show off your cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s always been more about fun for me, but it has become something I like to show off. My favorite way is with lots of friends in a group gathering and photo shoot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a07. I also love your John Stewart, Green Lantern cosplay. How did that idea come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well. I had only been doing multiple types of Spider-man cosplay and started thinking about other characters I like that I believed that I could portray well. Also, I wanted it to be a mask-less character. Green Lantern John Stewart came to mind because of not only liking the character, but having things in common with him, i.e. hometown, USMC, ethnicity so I thought, “Why not?” I hope that I have done him justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. What are your plans for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you mean plans for the future in cosplay, then I can’t reveal much. A few old costume updates, photo shoots,\u00a0 a few new costumes. You can look for a great photo shoot I will be a part of at Dragon*Con 2013, with the superhero costuming forum (the SCF) JLA\/Avengers!<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Marvel or DC? What title(s) do you read the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love both publishing companies actually. I do read more Marvel Comics though to be honest. Amazing Spider-man, any Avengers title, Green Lantern Corps, Justice League and Batman. This fluctuates with storylines and what I like most at any given time.<\/strong><\/p>\n
