    That’s bizarre. It took me a second to figure out what was going on in the skeleton video. The monster cereal paint is very creative. Thanks for the post.

    Okay–it’s official–the guy is like the coolest face painter/artist ever. Very very neat!

    Dr. Necropolis,

    I, too, was a little disoriented when I first found his videos–it took me a second or so to process what exactly was taking place. Then, once I realized he was creating these awesome works of art on his face, I just kept watching more and more vids. :)

    autumnforest,

    I agree–pretty great stuff!

  4. Goldie Says:

    Wow, this was some strange yet creative stuff! The second video is really something else in how he managed to pull off 3 different looks into one and MOST accurate with the painted images. The videos you find my friend, unique all the time ;-)

    That is so funny, I have seen this kind of makeup work and it is more effective on video and much less confonding as your sence of depth is stronger. I love doing effects makeup and am always watching for new and origional ideas.

    Goldie,

    He was so good on the Monster Cereal performance, after watching it, I had a craving for Boo Berry. I’m either going to have to order some from Amazon, or else stock up when October rolls around. I can just see my pantry now–it’ll look like one of those Honey Nut Cheerios commercials where the entire grocery store (all departments) stocks only Honey Nut Cheerios! I know there are a few locations that carry the monster cereals throughout the year, but at my local stores, they’re only available near Halloween. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Ethan,

    I didn’t know you worked with makeup, too. You have a ton of talents, man!

    frightnight,

    Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the entry.

    That is so cool. I’m totally with ya on the second vid. I’m not a big fan of Count Chocula but I certain got a craving after watching that.

    Andrea,

    Great to hear from you! Yeah, I’m more of a Boo-Berry and Franken-Berry fan than I am Count Chocula, but I’ll even take the Count in a pinch. ;)
