Will Stronghold (Sky High)

One of the stars taking photos at AwesomeCon 2019 was Danielle Panabaker, whom Irvin had been a huge fan of for many years due to his love of the Disney Channel. He and Angelica decided to get the photo, and to do a deep cut cosplay: the superhero movie Sky High from 2005, which is an underrated gem that was ahead of its time. Angelica would take on Panabaker's character, Layla, and Irvin was the movie's protagonist Will Stronghold.

To prep, a blue t-shirt had to be painted to create the distinct red-white-and-blue pattern. The real challenge, however, proved to be finding a pair of red converse in time once it turned out the pair Irvin ordered online for cheap wouldn't arrive in time. Nowhere in Washington DC had red converse, so Irvin was at the mercy of Amazon Prime, which came through in the end. But it was all worth it, because the costume came out great. Danielle Panabaker, on seeing it, exclaimed with delight, "Oh my gosh, Sky High!" Safe to say there aren't many rival Sky High cosplayers out there. And wearing jeans, converse, and a t-shirt for a con proved to be a very good idea.
