Agree or disagree with how he went about it. he was one of very few people one who tried to reshape himself into his dream. and he was a dear friend. I did my best to bring some life to it. you will find the mask I made for him in the gallery. And it is how I will remember him. ...

My motto is to try and bring the best possible costuming to life within the price range of the average person. Although I can to commercial level work with commercial level materials if required, much of what you see here will not set you back the tens of thousands most professional production houses charge. I have countless years of experience in engineering and was an engineer well before I was an artist. I have a background in both robotics and electronics. Also with extensive background in leatherwork. I can do detailed armor and costuming to fill out the full look of the creature you are looking for. My masks come standard with articulated jaws that move with yours, and I can design and install electronic and mechanical modules to fit your needs. Dragon head with smoke? Need a video camera installed...

Also check out the new test videos of the latest polar bear with the full vision and hearing system. You will get a laugh at the second jaw test. More to come I promise as we start new projects left and right. ...
