I am a Prosthetic and Makeup Effects Artist, but I started on my creative road back in the
good ol’ 80’s playing classic table top RPG’s and painting Miniatures. This led onto
Live Role Playing (LRP or LARP) where I began making masks and props during which
time I also made safe weaponry for LRP combat, and in turn developed the original design
for the Latex & Foam Weapon, now used extensively throughout the hobby (as well as the
safe combat arrow system).
Since then I have worked extensively in Prosthetic Makeup Effects for Film & Tv, Projects
as diverse as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy to Mad Max Fury Road and many points in between.
I also developed the 1st Prosthetic Silicone material used reliably in the industry which was
originally used for Gimli the Dwarf’s Prosthetics (actor John Rhys Davies) in The Two Towers
and the Return of the King.
For a few years now I have also been teaching Prosthetic Makeup Effects, including Specialist
Mould Making techniques and Teeth Fx making (temporary Fangs, Caps & Veneers), to a wide
range of students and clients from many parts of the world.
