trying to make the real world live up to my imagination

I've always been fascinated by this craft but only just started practicing in early 2015. I have taught myself from anything I can find on the internet. I love working with body paint and seeing how much I can transform myself or my models with just paint and perspective. I have experience with water activated, alcohol activated, and oil based cream paints, liquid latex, rigid collodion, scar wax, I laid my first beard with crepe hair and spirit gum for Willy in Small Talk (seen above). I've started experimenting with making my own gelatin prosthetics. I can't wait to start getting more experience with airbrush painting and  prosthetic and prop making! Until I can get my hands on those materials I spend a countless amount of time watching tutorials and informative videos on the subjects. 


I enjoy doing wardrobe as well when I get the chance. Here's some of the process from the Miss Chiff music video where I turned an old prom dress into a modern Queen of Hearts gown.
