As restrictions have lifted and the past three years of on and off again lockdowns are no more it is a new start into a new venture of body painting and costume play.

Venues are opening up and people are gathering as their chosen characters to participate in the role plays that their community gives. Though Cos-painting is a bit slower to take hold due to the financial impact of materials, travel and insurances it is making a come back.

​

As for Angelofdore Art the Costume painting and Cosplay benefits has taken a path down academic research that is currently knocking at the PhD doors and waiting for someone to answer and open the door. The past year has been spent gathering data as well as writing up proposals in hope September 2022 will see Cosplay and Cos-painting entering a whole new domain to aid FIRSTLY with mental heath with a professional progression from research gathered over the four years to apply to Physical health too.
