Hydro-cal stone positive of my one and only @jschweez 🖤 Painted it to match the color of monster clay (even though I decided to use chavant to sculpt later).
And a corrected positive made of resin and fiberglass that I also made.
Thank you to my friends @yvonneboyiazis & @gypsy.twls for helping me with the lifecast 🙂↕️🙏🏻 and thank you to my best one for always being the best model and sitting so patiently while I cover you in goo.
A Who from Whoville inspired by Bowie’s Aladdin Sane ⚡️
This concept has been in my head for a while and I’m so happy I finally brought it to life.
Thanks so much to my amazing model and husband @jschweez and the best photographer and friend 📸@zhotsbyleire

This year I had the pleasure of working as a mask technician for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios 🧟♂️🩻⚰️
I was assigned at the Poltergeist maze, which was awesome because it’s one of my favorite movies and I loved working with the corpses. It was such an incredible experience, our team and everyone involved was so kind and helpful 🩵
Thank you @mageefx for the opportunity. I’m so happy I got to be part of such an amazing and talented group of people 🫶🏻
My corpse mask for this past Halloween. Inspired by @mageefx ‘s coffin corpse masks. Many thanks to @ezmufx for the sculpting tips, @karlofforniacasey for all the guidance and encouragement, @moomemao for the sewing advice, and to my friend @zhotsbyleire for taking the best photos ever 🫶🏻
Already counting down the days until next Halloween 🧟♀️⚰️
Some painting and fabrication photos of my Halloween mask ⚰️🧟♂️🪦
I started by sewing the black fabric hood and gluing it to my mask. After that, I sealed the foam and started painting with spray enamels, alcohol paints and acrylics mixed with different gloss and matte mediums.
Between the painting process, I fabricated some of the remaining skin on the skull using cotton and latex, and added some extra grossness with the latex making my first nurnies.
To finish things off, I added some hair and made it look dirty. I also dyed and distressed the costume to make it look just as rotten as the mask.
Learned so many new techniques making this mask and had so much fun doing it 🫶🏻
Some progress photos of my corpse mask that I like 🖤
I made a fiberglass cast of my husband’s head and started sculpting at the beginning of the season. I sculpted the teeth in ZBrush and 3D printed them, then I made a mold of my sculpted mask and ran it with selfskining foam 🫶🏻 more photos to come.
Inspired by @mageefx ‘s coffin corpse masks that I’ve been working with these past few months ⚰️🩻🖤
Little life update ✨
Dyed my hair pink, got a tattoo of Charlie, matchas, Monsterpalooza and art. Also I’ve been living in LA for almost three years now 🫶🏻
Had so much fun painting this Admiral Ackbar latex mask in Jordu Schell’s class on May the 4th. Many thanks to Jordu and @kirkrthatcher for the amazing stories and inspiration 🦑🚀
