Since the trailer is out, I’m finally posting some bts and stills from @sandmannmovie This was a ton of fun and an honor to be a part of. Thank you very much to both @anthonydev6 and @jamesdeveney_ for having me on board!

Happy Halloween! Perfect day to share this look I did back in September. I made this satirical ode to the original Count Orlok for a spec commercial centered around an idea for flamin’ hot garlic Cheetos. Using a @kryolanofficial bald cap, @rubberwear ears, @scarecrowvampirefangs, and made the press-on nails myself using a hand cast I made from the actor’s hands. I also made some artificial Cheeto dust using alcohol paint, pros-aide, and a bit of flocking. All makeup and application done by me.

EDIT: Not a paid partnership, I just absolutely HATED the song used and this was the only way IG would let me get rid of it.

Year 2 of @monsterpaloozaofficial for me. I was initially going to work the whole weekend but I had a project come up. Thankfully I was still able to go for one day! There’s always so much incredible art and talented artists. I always leave feeling super inspired. Thanks for having me at the booth again @cinemamakeupschool it’s always fun getting to talk to all the attendees, see great monster makeups and costumes, and run into friends and instructors. See you at the next one!

The experience of getting to bring one of my own creatures to life for the first time was one of my biggest highlights from my time at @cinemamakeupschool Thanks to @cynthinadventureland and all of her help and guidance! From concept sketch, to sculpt, molding, making teeth, latex running, and painting. This is an electric sea dwelling alien creature I’ve had in my head for a few years now and it’s still so great seeing it in a full makeup. I used some UV reactive pigments so we shot with a black light (first photo) mainly and some without as well. I learned a lot through this process and I seriously cannot wait to make more monsters in the future. I spent tonight playing around with the second photo and background in @affinitybyserif photo editing program, which I’m no master in but it’s fun playing around.

Here’s the final product from my demo at @midsummerscream last weekend. I did a zombie that was inspired by the undead from #thewitcher series, one of my favorite games. I used foam clay to make the back spikes and they were glued to some fabric for that silhouette. Thanks so much @cinemamakeupschool for having me and thanks to the lovely @annabelleg_design for getting spooky with me. 88 more days to get ready for Halloween 🧟‍♀️

It’s always Halloween. I had a great time demoing a quick zombie for the @cinemamakeupschool booth at @midsummerscream last weekend. Thank you so much @annabelleg_design for modeling!! I used a foam latex prosthetic provided by CMS and @skinillustratorofficial alcohol paints.
