Make-up & Special Effects

I have always said that being a FX makeup artist is the next best thing to being a serial killer. You get all the glory of hacking your victims up and keeping some nice trophies, without all the trouble of trying to get rid of a body! Most of my work has been done for either stage performance or for independent photography projects.

Critters

Werewolves, vampires, zombies, aliens, and other fantasy creatures.

Doing Some Damage

Simulated injuries - Gunshots, stabbing, slicing, & mishaps with power tools.

Film Work

A small section of my work caught on tape.  This section should be growing quickly between 2008-2009.

Heads Will Roll

My headjobs will certainly not get me a place on "Girls Gone Wild".   Simulated decapitations.

Immaculate Deception Project

Multiple effects used for a long photorial project depicting the long life of a vampire.

Stories from Behind the Scenes

A quick scrapbook of FX work from childhood to present, and some fun stories to go along with them.

Theatre Tricks

A sample of how much fun doing FX for live theatre can be with "one shot" rigs.

Misc. Makeup

Work that really didn't fit into any other category.  Hangings, gel FX, etc...
