Hey All! Thanks for tuning in!

I think One of the reasons why people who are creative and artistic love doing what they do is that it never gets boring and there is still always something new to learn. Being a lifelong student at heart, my inner Geek screams whenever I get my hands on new books or media to better my craft, as I am sure you do as well! And guess what Awesome News!

For all of you makeup and monster geeks out there get ready to pull out your wallets and stalk your mailmen.
Mike Spatola, Makeup Artist (Terminator 2, Iron Man 3, Predator 2) and Chief Academic Officer at Cinema Makeup School in Hollywood has created a Kickstarter Campaign to complete the 3rd and final book for the Monstrous Manual Series.

I know. I know. Just take my money now, right?!!! I personally own the Monstrous Makeup Manual 2 and it literally is a plethora of knowledge and super easy to follow with step by step techniques for creating some badass creatures. Even now, when I get called to work on a film I always manage to stuff the Manual in my bag for that "Just in case" moment when you need a refresher on how to achieve a certain effect or look. 

Even if you aren't a makeup artist, its great to check out for those DIY Halloween makeup looks! If you want to check it out Here's the link to Mikes Kickstarter and show some love! :D ​ Monstrous Makeup Manual 3

I also wanted to give all of you a heads up on the new and happening things going on right now! So excited to show you a sneak Peek sketch of a makeup that I designed that I am bringing to life right now! It is going to be EPIC!
As of right now, I am doing some finishing touches on the sculptures for the few custom pieces for the makeup and I can't wait till it is finished so I can get all of your feedback :) 
​
On a different note, I have recently ordered a bunch of new makeup products for my kit that I can't wait to come in so I share with all of you! 

P.S. I am seriously getting addicted to online shopping. Amazon, is my demon. All you need is a few glasses of wine and you wake up the next morning to a couple of surprise packages at your front door :)
​(Totally Random, but I had to share)

Finally, I wanted to officially announce Januarys Newsletter GiveAway winner......***drumroll***.... and the Winner is ..........CHARLENE CH. !!! CONGRATS!

Hey Everybody!!! Oh my Goodness It's been a while! Even though we are in the second month of 2017. I am hoping that everyone has had a positive and awesome transition into it ... lol For the most part :)

First and Foremost let me just say Go PATRIOTS!  

So much has happened over the course of these past several months! Where do I begin?! 
It was so great to work on so many feature and indie films but I would have to say the most memorable was working on Super Troopers 2. It was just a wonderful group of  great people, cast and crew. The film was so much fun to work on and I was so honored to be part of it. I can not wait for the title to be released~ AAA! I hope all of you reading go out and watch it!

Secondly,  I am super happy to announce that SkinMarkz Magazine has featured 2 of my body painting creations in their upcoming February issue!!!!  SkinMarkz is a contemporary BodyArt Magazine publishing both renown and emerging artists! If you love Body Art Check out the February issue here!
