Cyprus Comic Con is pleased to announce that talented Polish cosplayer Kairi will be gracing us with her creativity and expertise as our Special Cosplay Guest at CCC16.
Kairi is 27 years old and has been actively cosplaying since 2008, attending most cosplay events in her country either as a contestant or judge. Fully dedicated to the art of cosplay, Kairi has been giving workshops and panels all around the world, sharing her knowledge and passion. She has travelled a lot and has visited over 14 countries, thanks to cosplay itself!
Kairi represented Poland in international cosplay contests four times – three times at the EuroCosplay Finals in London and once at the European Cosplay Gathering in Paris. In London, she placed second twice in 2010 and 2012, while in 2014 she won the championship finals! She is currently preparing to represent Poland in the European Cosplay Gathering Finals 2016 and the Clara Cow Cosplay Cup 2016 with Zel Coshorse.
According to Kairi there is no specific type of costumes she prefers, as she always likes to experiment with new techniques and designs. She mostly cosplays characters that are close to her heart and she absolutely loves to perform on stage!

Young illustrator Raphaella Theodorou is the newest addition to our Featured Artists roster for CCC16!
Raphaella was born in 1998 and has been drawing since merely 8 years old. Her very first few drawings were primarily inspired by the popular Disney animation Lion King (1994). As a young artist, she loved drawing animals, while at the age of 12 years old, she first discovered anime and manga art, which subsequently became her passion. She continued practicing her drawing through high school and believes her illustrations now have more depth and detail, enabling her to do create more realistic art such as portraits. Her favourite drawing materials to use are pen and ink, watercolours and colouring pencils.

With continuous upward growth since 1995 the company managed to evolve, develop and distinguish itself through competition and at the same time create a name synonymous with quality and reliability.
Having always in mind the needs of the market, the company invested towards quality, economical and fast digital prints.
The company’s core business is the production of digital printing for indoor and outdoor areas in large and smaller size.
Originally the basic equipment of the company was 2 large-format indoor digital printing machines. One third machine was added as the turnover of the company increased gradually through the years.
The expertise and focus in digital printing has brought further substantial investment in the latest type of equipment for indoor and outdoor printing, consolidating the company into the market and making it as one of the larger-from production size perspective- perhaps the largest-private company in digital printing in Cyprus.
