Episode 403: Ginamidala talks Art & Cosplay, Guide, and her work as an Author

I've been following Gina aka Ginamidala on Instagram for quite some time and I was excited that she said yes to being a guest. Not just because of her cosplay work, but also because she published her first book, Guide, and I wanted to talk about that too!

We split the episode in half. For the first half, Gina and I talk about art and cosplay. With art, Gina talks about her beginnings with art in school, and progressing from there. She talks about all the different art forms she's done and which ones she prefers. We talk about the art that she's created and shared on her Instagram page (and which you can purchase, if you message her!). We also talk about Cosplay. Gina talks about how she first got interested in Cosplaying, and what characters she's drawn to. We talk about the character's she has done, along with some of her plans for the future with cosplay.

In the back half of the episode, Gina talks about her work as an Author. We talk about her writing journey, which led to the self publishing of Guide. We talk about the book without spoilers, as we talk about the plot, main character and supporting cast, and her plans for the future.
