1998

Makeup, Halloween... I've been at it for a while.  Here's a shot from 1998 featuring my first, uh, prosthetic makeup.  I'm the witch with the giant hat.  Construction paper nose adhered (not so well) with glue stick.  Age 7.

I believe I did my brother's cat whiskers, too.

Mom's black sweater, Dad's shoes... yeah, this was the coolest thing ever.  

Oh, P.S. I served the trick-or-treaters candy from a dry ice filled cauldron.  Does this count as a first haunt?

The Creature Lives!

You may recall the reptile sculpture I posted earlier.  What I didn't mention was that was to be the skin of an animatronic creature for a (very) short film I wrote and directed.  It screened in the theater today and got laughs in all the right places, even with a fairly small audience.

Have a watch (and hopefully a chuckle):

Conceptualizing

Just a little peek at a monster movie project coming up next year...

Roughed in creature makeup concept art.  One day I'll learn how to use Photoshop the right way.  In the meantime, this is what you get.
