WOW, where's the time go?

OK, I'm back and alive.

I've been back for over a month, probably closer to two. I'm still a little hazy on just what I can say.

I was down at Precinct 13, Robert Kurtzman's shop in Ohio working on a movie filming overseas. I did some mold making and some mechanics work. Met some great people from LA, KNB folks to be a bit more accurate. Learned a lot, had an absolute blast, miss it.

Besides that, work on Jean Claude continues.,,I've moved on to CGI stuff now on that. We'll probably have one more day or shooting pickup stuff that will need a little makeup.

So, is there anything new? Oh yes! The big job since I've been back has been The Attic. I've been working on a few the characters. An ogre named Cyril, wounds for Dagger, and the (or should that be a) soul cribber. Since I like to spread out the exclusives a bit, and myspace has some in progress shots already, anyone reading this gets to see Cyril's foam appliances. These are so-so runs of the face and ears resting on a copy of Frank's lifecast. I plan on gluing one of the "bad" sets to this head, paint it all up and use it as reference. Did I forget to mention that The Attic is a series? Oops, well it is. It'll also serve as a cool display head to show off.


If you look closely to the left you can see something else...I wonder what those might be? Stay tuned and maybe you'll get to see more of those.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Cyril also has an eye patch over the eye with the giant scar running through it.

I know you're thinking to yourself "WTF?" and all I can say is see the website and stay tuned. Makeup tests for one of the characters are coming up soon, so Cyril will be fleshed out a little more.

Also helping out on a student film, doing some weapons wrangling and CGI for it.

Beyond all that fun stuff I've trying to wrap up a few personal projects that sat untouched all summer, so things are busy. I'll try to post more regularly in the near future.
