About Me


A LITTLE ABOUT ME FOR THOSE WHO DONT ALREADY KNOW. I AM A MAKEUP/SPECIAL EFFECTS ARTIST. MY WORK AS MAINLY BEEN IN FILM PRODUCTIONS BOTH SHORTS AND FEATURES. I HAVE WORKED AS MAKEUP DESIGNER/ARTIST AND ALSO SUPERVISED MAKEUP TEAMS. MY WORK AS RANGED FROM BASIC MAKEUPS THROUGH TO HORROR/ GORE/ AND PROSTHETICS. I LOVE ALL AREAS OF MY WORK BUT HAVE TO SAY THE SFX STUFF MAKES MY CREATIVE GENE JUST GO SNAP!CRACKLE!POP!!!! I HAVE ALSO WORKED ON SEVERAL THEATRE PRODUCTIONS TO CAST AND PRINCIPLES, ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL WORK AS WELL AS DEMONSTRATIONS AND SFX WORKSHOPS. I KNOW COOL IS WHAT YOUR THINKING. I TOO THINK THIS DOING MY JOB, I LOVE IT. MY DRIVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IS STEADFAST. I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW CHALLENGES AND SKILLS TO LEARN WETHER IT BE BY MAKING A MISTAKE OR JUST OBSERVING. I AM CURRRENTLY WORKING AS ASSOCIATE PRODUCER ON THE PRE PRODUCTION OF A FEATURE WHICH I WILL ADD THE WEB LINK SOON. I KNOW AUDIENCES SEE GOOD MOVIES AND WHAT THEY CALL BAD MOVIES BUT IN TRUTH THE FILMS DONT ALWAYS REFLECT THE DEDICATION, HEART AND HARD WORK THE ACTORS AND CREW PUT INTO THEM. FROM DIRECTOR THROUGH TO RUNNERS E.T.C. ALL GREATLY VALUED IN COMPLETING A PRODUCTION. MOVIEGOERS SEE A LITTLE OF THIS IN BEHIND THE SCENE FOOTAGES. WHAT THEY ALSO DONT SEE IS THE MUTUAL RESPECT, FUN, LAUGHS, AND DYNAMICS EACH CAST AND CREW DEVELOP, WETHER THE FILMING IS A FEW DAYS OR SEVERAL WEEKS. I FEEL VERY PRIVILEDGED TO DO THE JOB AND I GUESS I AM ONE OF THE LUCKY PEOPLE WHO GOES TO WORK FOR THE LOVE OF THE JOB. MY JOB AS BROUGHT ME IN CONTACT WITH MANY FANTASTIC CREWS AND ACTORS AND MOST I CONTINUE TO HOLD A GOOD FRIENDSHIP WITH. SOME OF THEM BEING MY TOP FRIENDS. YOU SEE I AM JUST AS NICE OFFLINE DONT YA THINK, YOU GUYS (come on R&R girls back me up on this he!he!). THE HOURS CAN BE VERY LONG BUT THE DYNAMICS OF THE CREW, THE DRIVE, AND FUN ON SET ELEVIATES THIS. I BALANCE MY LIFE AS EQUALLY AS I CAN THEREFORE I WORK HARD SO PLAY HARD WHEN IM NOT WORKING. I AM VERY DEDICATED TO MY JOB AND THE PRODUCTIONS I TAKE ON. I CONTINUALLY AIM TO BETTER MY EXPERIENCES AND KNOWLEDGE AND WILL CONSIDER MOST MAKEUP JOBS DEPENDANT ON THE SCRIPT AND HOW MUCH I LIKE IT. I VALUE EVERY JOB I DO NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL IT IS. I HAD AN AIM LAST YEAR THAT I WOULD GET TO WORK ON BIGGER PRODUCTIONS AND LONG TERM GOAL TO HEAD MY OWN MAKEUP TEAM. THAT I AM PLEASED TO SAY IN BOTH CASES WILL BE HAPPENING ON SEVERAL EXCITING PRODUCTIONS I AM TO WORK ON THIS YEAR, WHICH I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT VERY SOON. TWO OF WHICH I WILL BE HEADING A TEAM OF ARTISTS IN MAKEUP & SPFX. MY AIM THIS YEAR IS TO CONTINUE TO LEARN AND IMPROVE ON MY SKILLS AND JUMP FEET FIRST INTO OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARISE.I ALSO WANT TO WORK ON SOME PRODUCTIONS OUT IN THE STATES IN THE NEXT YEAR. I AM HAPPY TO HELP ANYONE OUT THERE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE MAKEUP AND SPECIAL EFFECTS AND IF IT IS SOMETHING I AM VAGUE ABOUT I WILL TRY AND DIRECT THEM TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP.I LOVE SHARING MY KNOWLEDGE IF IT HELPS ANOTHER. I AM A PERSON THAT IS VERY GROUNDED AND ENJOY TALKING TO PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. I DO NOT FEEL ANYONE IS ANY MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANOTHER. IT IS JUST WE LIVE BY DIFFERENT CHOICES. WE ARE ALL AS VALUABLE AND WE ALL AS INDIVIDUALS HOLD KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN BE SHARED WITH ONE ANOTHER AND BE AS EQUALLY IMPORTANT.I LOVE A LAUGH WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND YES ALCOHOL DOES HAVE SOME BEARING ON THIS OCCASSIONALLY, HAHAHAHA ACTUALLY YES OFTEN IS MORE THE WORD I SHOULD USE. THIS INGREDIENT JUST ASSISTS WITH MY HAPPY INSANE QUALITY. I HAVE SOME LOYAL FRIENDS WHO I HOLD DEAR (you know who you are). I HAVE MET SOME LOVELY, GENUINE AND INTERESTING FOLK ON MYSPACE BUT HEY ALWAYS HAPPY TO MEET MORE.BEFORE ADDING ME CONSIDER THESE FEW POINTS..... I DONT WEBCAM AND I DONT SEND PICTURES OUT TO ANYONE. IF IT IS THIS THAT YOU SEEK THEN PLEASE CARRY ON BROWSING SOMEONE ELSE'S PAGE AS I HAVE NO INTEREST IN ADDING YOU. I HAVE NO TIME FOR TRASHY CHAT OR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER THE ILLUSION THEY ARE A FAMOUS ACTORS, SINGERS, MALE MODELS OR NO PIC ACCOUNTS. SO DONT WASTE MY TIME OR YOUR OWN MESSAGING.HOWEVER I ENJOY TALKING TO 'REAL' PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY GROUNDED BUT WANT TO AIM HIGH. I LIKE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOALS, TRUE INTEGRITY, MANNERS, RESPECT OTHERS, INTELLIGENT, FUNNY.........SO MESSAGE ME. I DO NOT SEE BEAUTY AS JUST A PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTE IT IS THE INNER CORE OF A PERSON, THE TRUENESS, THE *** YOU **. EVERYONE IS APPEALING IN A QUALITY WE JUST HAVE TO LOOK MORE CLOSELY AND LISTEN. MY FAVOURITE FEELINGS IS HAPPINESS, CONFIDENCE, LOVE, . MY SECOND FAVOURITES ARE SILLYNESS, STUPIDITY, GIDDY, DORKY AND PLAIN 'I DONT CARE I THINK I AM FUNNY' ATTITUDES. MY FAVOURITE WORD AND ITS MEANING IS CURIOSITY! AM I NOSEY? HELL YES!!! MY FAVOURITE SHOES ARE STILLETO OR HIGH HEELED BOOTS. MY FAVOURITE WARM DRINK IS TEA BABY! MY FAVOURITE TIPPLE IS BACARDI AND COKE! MY FAVOURITE FOOD IS CANTONESE. MY FAVOURITE SWEETS MARSHMALLOWS MMMHHH YUMMY!!!WHEN I AM NOT WORKING MY LIFE IS MY CHILDREN AND BRINGING THEM UP TO BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS AND APPRECIATE ALL THAT SEEM LITTLE AROUND THEM ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT.THEY ARE THE LITTLE PEOPLE THAT MAKE ME FEEL LOVED AND I CAN BE C } . RAZY, IMAGINITIVE, LOVING, CHILDLIKE, STUPID , SILLY, BASICALLY ANYTHING I WANT AND THEY DONT JUDGE ME, AT LEAST NOT TO MY FACE he!heWORDS THAT DESCRIBE ME ARE FRIENDLY, LOYAL, HARDWORKING, DRIVEN, CREATIVE, LOVING, RESPECTFUL, HELL YES I'D SAY FUNNY AT TIMES. WHAT I DONT LIKE ARE FREELOADERS AND PEOPLE WHO RIDE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S WAVES TO GET WHERE THEY WANT IN LIFE. I FEEL WE SHOULD REACH OUR GOALS BECAUSE OF SHEER HARD WORK, DRIVE AND A SPRINKLE OF LUCK.

My Interests

I LOVE GOING FOR WALKS WITH MY CHILDREN.WATCHING MY KIDS GROW MORE BEAUTIFUL BY THE DAY. SKETCHING, READING, SCULPTING. I LOVE GOING TO THE GYM WHEN I AM NOT BEING MUMMY AND WORKING.I LOVE BEING A LAZY TOAD ALSO. SHOPPING YES LOVE SHOPPING WHICH GIRL DOESNT? MY DISLIKES ARE ANYONE THAT CREATES UNREST IN ANOTHER PERSONS EMOTIONS PURELY FOR THEIR SELF CHERISHING EGO'S. ARROGANCE I CANT STAND. EGO'S LEAVE IT OUTSIDE MATEY IF YOUR SPEAKING TO ME!!! LAZY PEOPLE WHO EXPECT EVERYTHING AND GIVE NOTHING. SUSHI!!!! YEP I WILL BE THE UNFASHIONABLE ONE TO SAY ITS DISGUSTING, THE GUY WHO KNOCKS MY BACARDI OVER AND DOESNT BUY ME ONE BACK. BEING LATE I HAVE TO BE ON TIME. ALSO OTHERS BEING LATE. COFFEE REVELS YUCK!!!! SO AS YOU CAN SEE WHEN I AM NOT WORKING MY ASS OFF, BEING A MUMMY TO THE BEST I CAN BE, MEDITATING, I WILL INDULGE IN A TAD OF PARTYING AND MERRYNESS. A WOULD SAY A WELL BALANCED LIFE***Your EQ is 147***You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.You are warm and open. Even when life gets you down, you're unafraid of the world and its challenges. You are comfortable with who you are. And you accept your weaknesses - as well as the weaknesses of others.While you are quite stable, you don't respond perfectly to every bad situation that comes up. But you have enough emotional intelligence to know when you need a course correction.What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)? http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyoureqquiz/

MyHotComments***You Are a Prophet Soul***You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone. Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people. Sometimes this faith can lead to disappointment in the long run. No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way.You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle. Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings. A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning. You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer.Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming SoulWhat Kind of Soul Are You? http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofsoulareyouquiz/
