SPOTLIGHT ON: PETER WEISS
Although I have not met Peter, I was immediately impressed with his cosplay after seeing photos in the Cosplayers of New Jersey forum on Facebook. The glowing eyes in his headpiece were the first indication that he was not an ordinary cosplayer. After chatting with him, I can tell he is very passionate about his craft and can’t stop talking about the improvements he plans to make to his character. His enthusiasm for cosplay seems unbridled!
