Thomas G. Atkinson has been making costumes since shortly after his birth (his "Baby With Bib and Carrots" was voted "Best Use of Roots and Tubers" at GerberCon '64). He attended his first con in 1976 and has been a permanent fixture since. His costumes include "The Empire State Building," "Chernobyl Clean-Up Crew," "2010 Pajamas," "Winter's End (Potted Plant)," "Spaceman Spiff," and a score of re-creation outfits including Star Wars and Star Trek.
Thomas is one of the world's greatest Star Wars fans. He started collecting Star Wars toys and memorabilia when the first movie came out in 1976, and he has not stopped since. His collection forms the basis of The Star Toys Museum, of which Thomas is Curator. Just as Mary had her little lamb, Thomas has his 1970 VW camper. The Van, however, does not make messes in the house, nor do its fenders make good sweaters. Nevertheless, it does have lovely curtains. Thomas lives at Meerkat Meade with his spouse, writer Don Sakers. |
