DeeCon Photographer

Evening All!
If you'd like to have a photo of your Cosplay taken or maybe a photo of you and your friends to commemorate the day then we have good news for you!

This year our photographer will be the wonderful Alisdair Watson! He travels around the country with his Cosplay photobooth, where Cosplayer's can get a photo studio experience and instant Prints. He also puts some magic into his images there and then (with the help of Photoshop) to give you a wonderful memory to take home!

You can also find him at his Facebook page:

Speakers update

Bandursnatch Studios

This year we are happy to announce the presence of Bandursnatch Studios as guest speakers again!!!!

Bandursnatch Studios is a Cosplay performance group where they take cosplaying to a silly level and parody characters. 

This year they will portray The Avengers "In character" for Panel. They would be in full costume and playing the parts of Characters such as Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Hawk eye, Thor, Nick Fury, Bruce Banner, Black Widow, and Loki. 

They will be answering the your questions (related or not) and MUST stay in character.

So if you fancy asking The Hulk what his favourite food is? Or what kind of conditioner Thor uses? Or how Captain America copes in small spaces? Then come along and get your answers.

The panel time will be released closer to DeeCon so keep an eye out for the schedule!!
