Members badger Posted October 13, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2008 No problem Pip, I'm a make up and creature effects designer. I design and produce make up effects such as injuries or disease, ageing and all that. As well, I'm a monster maker, designing and producing creature effects for fantasy and horror films. We can also make action props, puppets and certain kinds of models and miniatures. This is me: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1389100/ Long way from leatherwork, but I wanted a hobby which was as far removed from work as possible. When you make stuff for a living, the last thing you really want to do is make the same stuff for a hobby. I've always liked the work and craft involved in leatherwork and I want to do things the traditional way. Cheers, Karl Quote
ArtS Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Welcome Karl. Glad to have you here. A good imagination really helps and you already have that! Skill with leather will probably also help in your career. Art Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei
