**UPDATE, Dec 12,2008** Alright, It's been awhile, school is intense, but New York City is the best place to be around Christmas time. Thanks to everyone who I met this Summer, and continue to help me live my dreams.I just added a whole bunch of things to the STORE (in the GALLERIES section), so take a look, and feel free to email me if you have any questions, or if you want to discuss various aspects of existence.
Here's the resume stuff for newcomers: I've been sculpting and making molds for 25 years now. I started as a young boy, and the passion has never waned. In the early to mid-nineties, I worked in the FX makeup field on several feature films. I worked with Academy Award winning Kurtzman, Nicotero, and Berger(KNB EFX) on several projects including "Friday The 13th-Jason Goes To Hell". I sculpted several pieces for that project. Other shops I worked with include The Chiodo Brothers("Critters 3", "Critters 4"), Rick Lazzerini's "The Character Shop"("Casper The Friendly Ghost", Bud Light "Surfing Cow"{I sculpted the front legs and mouth of life-sized animatronic cow}), and Tony Gardner's Alterian Studios ("Tank Girl"). My responsibilities at all shops were primarily sculpting and mold making. At KNB EFX, I worked alongside Steve Frakes, who is the primary moldmaker for Rick Baker. For the last eight years, I have been making a living selling unique casts, that I design, sculpt, paint, mold, and cast. You will see samples of all facets of my work in the following pages. I use just about every moldmaking material available(i.e.; tin cure and platinum cure silcones, urethanes, as well as fiberglas).
In short, I can sculpt and make a mold of just about anything.
Also, I am currently training in both Maya 3d and ZBrush, enrolled at the School of Visual Arts Computer Art BFA program, in NYC. It is exciting to see that my "3-dimensional mind" is catching on quickly. Actually, 3 dimensions is the bare minimum, and things just get more interesting as we continue to add dimensions. This site will be updated with renderings in coming weeks.
