Welcome to my online
Portfolio
Here is a little about me.
I entered the industry of Make-up & Special Effects
at age 19 , doing some work on a low budget feature called 'The
Dead Pit' , then shortly after I met Effects-creator Robert
Short (Beetlejuice , Splash , Cocoon , TV's The Flash) at a convention
.About a month later I received a call from Robert asking if I would
work with his crew on the feature film 'Little Monsters' in
Marina Del Rey , California. I accepted of course , with only the
knowledge of self-taught sculptures , fangs , & masks in my
parents garage, I worked on make-up appliances , and learned on
the job at Robert's shop.
Following that I went to Make-up school for a bit learning what I
didn't know like old age , character ,& even Beauty make-up (for
times when FX jobs were scarce) .
After school , I did make-up on Fashion models for photo-shoots
& for John Casablanca's Modeling school .
Then other projects followed like a Film called 'Megaville'
where I did old-age & character make-up on Daniel J. Travanti
, I also did make up on Billy Zane , some other actors &
extras.
After all that , I worked on films like 'Star Trek 6:
The Undiscovered Country'
as a sculptor , 'Magic Island' sculpting &
casting the Mermaid tail , 'The Viking Sagas'
making molds & castings , 'Tales from the Crypt: Demon
Knight' doing fabrication , painting & hair-punching for
the Cryptkeeper , 'Hidden World'
& 'Demon in a Bottle' .
The best year I ever had in the industry was when I worked on 'Starship
Troopers'
making fiberglass molds & castings , 'Star Trek: First
Contact'
as a moldmaker , and the opportunity I wanted for some time ... to
work for Rob Bottin on 'Deep Rising' , I was
able to do molds , castings , and learn from one of the professionals
who inspired me to get into this business. Following that job I worked
on 'Alien 4: Resurrection' molding & casting
the weapons , & 'Soldier' a film that I
sculpted the helmets that Kurt Russell wore & the Soldier helmets.
Currently , I do freelance Make-up Effects work and even teach at
a Make-up School , also Graphic
Design , & I do Website design and Custom Jewelry Design
with my own company D.W.M. Designs.
If anyone has any questions about Make-up FX , send me an email I
would be happy to answer any questions .
