Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stevan and I am in the process of making my Biker Scout costume with the hopes of 501st approval. Biker scouts have been my favorite Stormtrooper since I was a child in the 80's and I have always wanted a professional costume. Building your own costumes has always been very important to me as I feel it gives you a much closer connection to the character you are trying to portray as well as a since of pride and joy in sharing your art with the world. After years I finally broke down and purchased a 3D printer and printed out my helmet and have begun the laborious work of making my bucket. It is with great joy that I come to you not only in hopes of advice and guidance in my journey to get my consume completed but to become a member of the 501st as well as an active member of the Imperial Sands Garrison!
A little about me, I am currently an adjunct drawing and painting instructor for multiple colleges throughout Southern Califonria. I have shown my paintings in San Diego, LA and Pacifica California as well as in a KPBS documentary. Prior to that I have been a bartender and bar manager for a bar in San Diego for over 16 years. I moved to San Diego in 2003 from Kansas City, Missouri with only $650 in my pocket and a dream of living in California. I love cooking and anything food in general and it's a daily struggle to stay as skinny as I am. My favorite foods are BBQ but I have yet to find a place in San Diego I really like.
I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone on here and can't wait for all this Covid stuff to be over so we can all meet in person someday!
Best Wishes,
Stevan
