Elevator Talk

I am a special effects makeup artist.
I focus mainly in human anatomy effects,
Such as wounds, gore, and medical scenes.
However, I also like to work
In science fiction and fantasy genres,
Such as creature and alien creation.
I am very interested in prosthetic application,
Because of the idea of being able
To build upon the human form
And manipulate its shape
And the appearance of its mechanics.
The overall focus for my work
Is using the human body as a canvas
And creating an individual living work.





*Because I feel pretentious enough in the first place, writing it out like this cant really hurt.*
