That's Different...
If you live in the north-east & you enjoy/do anything involving makeup, effects, face painting, body painting, etc. & you don’t already have plans to attend IMATS next weekend… GET ON THAT.
If you’re attending & you’re not following me on Twitter or we haven’t already made plans to meet up & say hi… I’m not mad, just disappointed :)
DO IT.
Last year was AMAZING & sold out before the doors even opened so this year is going to be even bigger & better! New larger location, more vendors, more speakers, more demos, & even more high profile attendees… Last year Tom Savini surprised the ever living hey out of me by sneaking up behind me, tapping me on the shoulder, & telling me that I should be looking at his section of the Makeup Museum rather than the SNL stuff… I don’t usually get super stat-struck, but I also don’t expect to get bump into Sex Machine very often :)
I’m a little exited at the moment if you can’t tell, having spent a good chunk of the day doing IMATS planning work lol.

Blood is cheap so it is often overused & “slapped together”. I know many artists who use it to mainly cover their mistakes (not always a bad thing when you’re in a rush mind you).
Black sludge/slime/gunk (whatever you want to call it) is a lot harder to “get right” so you don’t see it that often… When done correctly however, this inky goo freaks me out far more than some simple red food coloring ever will.

These are either gelatin or silicone prosthetics… Not entirely sure which, but they’re very well done…
