Malama Pono

I recently had the great pleasure to meet Ms. Pono and do 2 different looks on her. I'm posting the more "interesting" of the 2. This was a bit more experimental for me as far as my normal beauty looks. Malama is a real pleasure to work with and I know we have many more shoots ahead of us...I will enjoy the journey!

Summer Jam

I recently worked an event that is part of this years Summer Jam. It was a photo shoot for a calendar. Did 4 body paints in about 3 hours or so. It was quite the set up. I was in a small non air-conditioned room (maybe around 10 by 10) lined with shelves, there I was with at least 6 or 7 models rotating in and out ( I think there was around 20 + models in total) ..trying to paint in there was one of the more challenging gigs I've had. I'll post pics as I get them.

Rebecca

So yesterday (Memorial day) I had a pretty cool shoot with Hairdresser Scotty Provo, Photographer Jiamin Zhu and Model/Artist Rebecca Blume. It's going to be a series exploring the "stages" of Bi-polar disorder. I believe it will be a powerful series. Many different makeup looks and moods ending with Rebecca being "painted" into one of her paintings.

Of some interest..

I have a couple of interesting shoots coming up, the first is going to be a gritty look at the sex trade..should be a powerful series. The other one, I'm painting an artist/model "into" one of her paintings.......more to follow.

Character sculpt

This is one I actually finished a while back, I just need to cast it up.

Venom, the paint up

This was the painted kit, done by the very talented artist Joe Dunaway

Venom, the sculpt

I worked on this Venom bust for a client of mine in Canada, it was a fun sculpting project to work on. It became a multi piece model kit, just a tad smaller than 1/2 normal (or life) size.

And so it begins

Just had a great time working with 2 sisters for a shoot with my friend and Photographer Don Poling. This summer looks like it's going to have some fun opportunities for cool shoots, looking forward to working with old friends and making new ones. Now as soon as I figure out how to post some pics...it's on!

Just for starters

So a few friends of mine have recently started blogging and I thought to myself....why not?
This will be a new thing for me as I've never considered myself to be of the blogging nature. I will post pics from the various makeup and sculpture projects I have or am currently working on, hopefully a few thoughts of interest as well. Looking forward to what will transpire....see you soon.
