Hi. I'm Tess. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Music Education [K-12 Choral/General], am in the process of securing an elementary music teaching position downstate, and am always up far too late working on costumes. Yes, my life is just THAT exciting. I also like to sleep every once in a while. It's nice.

My goal in life is, in fact, NOT to cosplay every Naruto character, but rather to become a published author. This may or may not occur before I kick the bucket, so I may have to settle for the former.

Please feel free to browse my Cosplay.com gallery if you would like to see more of my work. I also avidly commission wigs, costumes, and accessories. If you have an interest in my work and would like to commission me, please feel free to drop me an email and I will happily supply a quote. Thanks!

A small note about adding me: I try to only add those individuals whom I've met in-person or have exchanged more than a word or two with online. Please don't be offended if I don't add you back. If you'd like to get to know me better, I can always be reached via PM on Cosplay.com. I don't bite, and I love making friends!
