About Me

.. what do you want to know about me? just ask.here's some more of my crap: Here is the 50 cal machine gun i just finished ( its not supposed to be realistic...its post-apocalyptic/mad max influenced kinda thing..antiquated but futuristic enjoy!...
..
This is an animatronic puppet i made his head is about human size, he has full eye, jaw, ear and neck movement..
this is me in a foam appliance
this is me after i got my ass kicked...by some grease paint
this is my bestest friend, kat, .........after i gave her herpies
this is a shrunken head that I made for my brother for Christmas, it is suposed to be like the one the kid got in Nightmare Before Christmas (latex, polyfoam, and skanky wig hair)..
this is a multi-piece foam latex appliance i did on my roomate danny and he's also holding my polyfoam and balsa prop brush-axe (molded from a real axe)
tribute to requiem for a dream...rigid colodion and makeup
not the best picture, but this is a mechanical mask, it fits my face, when i move my jaw, its jaw moves and it has a ton of eyebrow movement
old age stipple on my mom, she was 39 at the time
I did this vampire makeup on myself without any glasses, and i only used a compact mirror, lol...i made the acrylic double fangs and latex ears....and i'm wearing my ghetto contacts (rolled my eyes down so you can't see my irises any more, lol)
I made this bar by modeling the shape in a computer program, then i CNC milled it out, made a silicone mold then made real soap to cast into it
