MAKE-UP & CHARACTER DESIGN

As an actor I've always loved transforming myself for any given role. My dream is to be one of the great actors of make-up transformation within my work - Doug Jones (Billy Butcherson, Abe Sapien), Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), Johnny Depp (Willy Wonka, Jack Sparrow, Mad Hatter), Bill Skarsgård (Pennywise), Andy Serkis (Gollum). So during Covid, while I was stuck in my NYC apartment, I thought, well, I can't sit around and watch television all day, what could I do to keep my creative juices flowing other than Acting classes over Zoom? So I picked up my make-up brush and started creating and gained a social media following. My community grew with other make-up artists, to fellow actors, to families with children who followed in the attempt to see what design I would produce by the morning of each day in solitude. It has kept me inspired and in the mix. Below are all of those works.
