HEY it's May!

Just got done with my good friend Guti's film the Ressasser. Here's some pictures of the makeup I did. The photos are by Martin Battilana.

Holy shit! I'm sorry I haven't touched this in forever!

I have been hyper-busy since December. I went out to Tennessee to shoot Matt Perry's Fig Boy, which I did makeup, AC, and had my acting debut! Fig Boy is a southern folktale about a boy whose friends and family get taken by the devil and a group of old man angels come to help him. Down below is the movie poster I shoot for it.



January I finished the shooting of People Are Strange and then picked up working on John Stiner's Pest Control. Pest Control was about a Nazi who likes to keep a prize of everything he exterminates, including a Jewish girl he took as his wife! Down below are some pictures and videos from People Are Strange.

February I worked on my friend Jacob Fry's directing the narrative final, which I can't remember the title to and a Documentary called The Angel Of Marye's Heights which is a documentary on a Confederate soldier that tended to the wounds of a Union soldier in the middle of a battle. I got to join the filmmaker Clint Ross at a Civil War reenactment in South Carolina. I got to dress up some myself! Pictures are below.





Along side of those films I picked up on a lot of other projects that I was on for just a day for. One film was Jaun Cearas's thesis The Magic Opera. Another was my good friend Renn Brown's thesis To Augment. Also a directing the narrative piece by Adam Baily that I got to do some gore makeup again for the first time in a long time. Again, I have pictures.

Most recently I have been working on a music video with my friend Mike Bailey, Christine Vartougain's grad thesis The Visions of Dylan Bradley, and in the works right now is my good friend David Gutierrez's directing the narrative final Ressasser. Down below is a giant schlew of pictures.

Finally finished with the latest Christmas Card!!!

Tell me what you think!
Here it is! I drew this up months ago and finally finished it! Send me your address via email or whatever if you'd like to be on my Christmas card list!

Beginning of November... I have ignored my blog page long enough!

Ahhh... So... I have been the busiest beaver. I got a job making candy at the Savannah Candy Kitchen down on River Street here in Savannah. I am now planning on staying here til June since I'm getting a lot of job offers to work on more films! I since worked on several different projects. The bigger projects I've worked on are People Are Strange, Lindsey Rallo's senior thesis film and The Adventures of Kip Thunder and Jeff, which is the senior thesis of Jacob Hall.

I got working with Lindsey when we met on the set of My Way. Her movie is about some messed up circus and LSD and some d-bag who cheated on his wife. The makeup is real fun and I got to design some characters! Oh, and I probably forgot to mention that I was finally able to use that werewolf mask! I forgot to take pictures though... I did photograph a bunch of the other stuff though. Check it!

As for Jacob Hall's movie, my friend Renn Brown that I met back when I did Mike Bailey's All For Audrey called me up and asked if I'd be interested. I'm secretly in love with Renn. So, I of course said yes. I had to make a prosthetic for an alien, which I really don't like to do, but it turned out all right. See for yaselves!

I will be posting up new shit soon. I'm gonna be cranking ut my t-shirt line soon and finishing my new Christmas card for this year! Keep checking and thanks for reading!

Mid-July, Slow Going in Savannah

So I went home for awhile and got back to Savannah and have been looking for work ever since. I've been getting some freelance gigs, shooting a jewelry portfolio and assisting on two of Captian Ceo's photo shoots. Just this weekend I started doing makeup on the movie I don't even remember the name of it. I barely know what's going on with it. All I do know is that it's about a boxer who got sick and can't fight anymore. Throw in some stuff about hydraphobia and that sums up what the movie is about. Here are some pictures.






Once I officially land a steady job I can start doing some more of my own work. I'm really hoping I can start doing some of the black and white Zombie shoots again stuff again as well as add another image to my main portfolio. Thanks for reading!
