OMFG I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT

Hi! I'm SpideyPunx (or just "Punx") and I started cosplaying in 2024. Basically, my interest in punk rock and Marvel comics had been entirely separate things before Across the Spider-Verse came out, and now I simply will not shut up about Hobie Brown. I'm also an anarchist and an activist, and I try to find ways to pay homage to left-wing protests and movements, both historical and modern-day, in my Spider-Punk cosplay.

He/they please, both in and out of cosplay—unless you want to she/her or neopronoun my version of Hobie in a fun gay way 😂

I love this guitar so much, y’all have no idea 😄

That newsprint pattern is a collection of news clippings from American protest history, mostly from the ~1960s to the present day. I really enjoyed putting it all together, it’s like I was making an artistic tribute to the movement. There’s shoutouts to the Freedom Riders, the 2020 Black Lives Matter uprisings, the Gaza solidarity encampments earlier this year, the Weather Underground, and so much more. My personal favorite is the headline from the Stonewall riots along the bottom side of the guitar: “GAYS HIT NY COPS” 🫡🏳️‍🌈

Some of the guitar parts actually work, too! You could flip that switch and spin those tuners. It’s really fun to fidget with when I’m waiting in long lines at cons.

The “stickers” are all accurate to Hobie’s official character art btw!

More pics under the cut~

“Also ACAB includes your dad” 😂

Can I use the photo of the flag burning as a reference it's cool as shit

Yes!!!!

A closer look at the newsprint guitar I made for my Spider-Punk cosplay! This was really fun to research and put together, and I hope you folks like it too :)

Found ya!

Making friends at Rhode Island Comic Con :)

I’ve been working on an upgraded version of Spider-Punk’s pants, and I’m so happy that I got to debut them at Rhode Island Comic Con this last weekend!

Shoutout to @hobiesdump for helping me figure out what some of the patch designs were! Couldn’t have done it without ya :)
