Having worked within the Film, Haunted Attraction and Halloween Mask industries for over 20 years, I'm hoping to extend my range of work to also include more fine art, but certainly does not require nudity. Casts of hands, feet, arms and legs can be even more creative and meaningful.

I always recommend that the model bring along a friend or family member for their life-casting session; even for simple face casts. You're also welcomed to bring along a favorite CD or two! It helps the subject feel more at ease. My wife also assists me with each and every life-casting session. We value our good reputation within the industry, and always treat our models with the higest level of professionalism.

I have a strong background in fine art, actually: Figure Drawing and Figure Sculpture, specifically. I have also been trained by Academy Award-winning make-up artist, Dick Smith.

I've been taking life-casts of actors for over 20 years...and, haven't lost one yet! The casts I've taken range from simple face castings to full head-to-toe castings. The vast majority of these casts have been functional and only for use as props and molds for prosthetics. What I hope to achieve here is to branch out more into the art world with pieces that make a statement, create a mood, or stir emotions. You know, the artsier stuff. I've done two such pieces, so far this year. Those were commissioned by the models (one of which is featured in my photos as an example of the work I can do).

I'm still working on building this profile. I will be adding many more photos of my work and additional credits in the coming weeks. So, thank you for taking a look and check back again for updates!

Please do not hesitate to contact me here on MM (or via email at: [email protected]) if you would like to discuss scheduling a life-casting session for business or personal use, or if you would like to discuss a special make-up for a future photoshoot.
