SnarkyJay Cosplay

SnarkyJay is a South-FL based Cosplayer, Crafter, and YouTuber. In her three years as a full-time YouTuber, she’s built a channel devoted to the latest in Geekdom: from commentary on the state of Star Wars, Marvel, DC and beyond, to reviews on the latest and greatest films and beyond. Passion and “Snarkasm” are the pillars that hold up her views, and have driven her to become one of the more outspoken voices in Geekdom on YouTube. Her love for all things nerdy is why she’s made producing videos about geeky topics the focus of her life.

In nearly ten years of experience in the cosplay community, she has honed her skills in building props and armor using EVA foam, producing original concepts, assembling and finishing 3D printed pieces, and modifying pre-existing parts; all in service of bringing characters to life. From Star Wars and Final Fantasy to DC and Marvel Comics and beyond, her repertoire of individual cosplays is nearly in the hundreds: with no sign of slowing down.
