Shogun Vader, the Ultimate Cardboard Cosplay - Los Angeles Art - Style Council
For those who look down upon the idea of using cardboard in your cosplay, we suggest checking out this ridiculously cool Shogun Vader design created by Alexander Lam. We first met Lam at Tune in Tokyo's New Year's Eve party and then bumped into him poolside at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott during Anime L.A. last weekend. He's a member of L.A. Jedi, a non-profit performance group that teaches people how to properly engage in lightsaber tricks and makes appearances at various children's hospitals. You might have seen the group on BoingBoing TV a while back.
Lam conceived Shogun Vader back in 2007 after reading about the samurai influence on Ralph McQuarrie's conceptual designs for Star Wars. He chose the name because Shogun means "general." In the few years since he began working on Shogun Vader, Lam has gone through three costume designs and is currently working on a fourth.
