I'm a Cosplayer (short for Costume Play) and an Artist of the Brush and Lens kind. 

I had started the Beard as a reason for 'something different' but when it came to me wanting to shave it off I couldn't do it. It was then handed to me as an idea to get it shaved off for Charity which is what I'm doing. so I'm letting it Grow for 12 months and making/working Current Cosplay's round it. It will be sad to see it go, but I want to raise as much as I can for this charity because I've worked with children for many years and I've always wanted to feel that I could give something to those who want a dream come true, and a long lasting memory, like them years have given me.
