Whew!  It's been busy in the studio!

I don't even know where to begin.  We have done so many projects since the last update it almost seems silly to detail them out.  Some highlights were working with David Edwards on the local film Nightscape.  I also got to go to Utah and work with a great team on the film Blackjacks.  It was wonderful working with the locals in Utah and the actors were a joy to collaborate with.  Hmmm.  GRIMM!  I have been very lucky in that I've gotten to work on set and make props for the NBC TV show Grimm (Friday nights).  I geek out every time I go, and it's a lot of fun.

New videos are up on the videos page, so I highly recommend a visit.

Finished final scenes for Cell Count, a movie I am quite excited about due to it's great cast and script.....and all the fun FX I got to do.  Big thanks to the Freeman brothers for believing in me, and to Anne Sellery for covering key makeup due to my heavy prior booking.

Also got to assist Tim Oakley and Rick Gamez with props for the pilot of NBC's "Grimm".  What amazing artists (way out of my league), and I feel very lucky to just watch them work.  Thank you to Todd Ellis for ordering a severed silicone arm as well.  Great crew on that show.  I really hope it gets picked up, because I want to watch it!  There has been a hole in my TV watching life since Buffy and Angel went away.

This month is going to be an exciting one.  Werewolves for Dex Dixon, stitched up faces, and lots and lots of FX for David Edwards upcoming film......

Revamped the website.....it's been a long time coming!  Good to have it done.  Lots of new video.  Still can't post a lot of work done in the last 6 months, but hopefully things will come out soon and I can share some goodies.

Went to the premiere of Stripperland and was shocked by the volume of FX we did....heh....it was spread out so over so many months I forgot!  So it was fun seeing it all put together.

Getting ready for pre-production on 2 films, doing pickups for a 3rd, and have a few odd projects scheduled.  Should be an interesting few months!

Finished up the feature film "Incarnate", directed by Brett Donowho.  Had a wonderful time with a truly amazing crew.  Special thanks to Crystal Shade for covering the key makeup position so I could focus on FX, and a huge thank you to Madeline Roosevelt and Allison Binford for covering hair.

This film reminded me of the stunning locations and woods we have right around the corner from Portland. Awesome stuff.
Finally got my hands on some pictures from 2010 Haunt Season.....here's the Parlor (Courtesy of Fright FX and Ira Kortum)
