Transworld

I made it to Transworld for the first time ever. came in on Thursday morning and was in line for the show around 8 or so to wait for the show floor doors to open at 10. No big deal I enjoy getting places on time, I would rather wait on other rather than people waiting on me. But anyway the show was great. I was hoping to get on the internet and post as much information about the show each night afterwards but as of Saturday night, this has been my third hotel. the first hotel had a charge to be able to use wifi so the next morning (Friday), I tried to post at the Center but their wifi was so bad that I just shut wifi off on my photo so I could at least upload pictures to facebook. We then had to switch hotels and the wifi was much better but I had not gotten the time to post anything. so now we are caught up to today.
to start off with I want to post a video that shows you have to be in the right place at the right time to see somethings that people never get to see in person. I am a huge Face-Off fan and there were so many of these talented artist here at the show whether attending or exhibiting their creations or their makeup. I wish I could post more about them.

There were so many great artist out there with their work with them to prove it. I have only just started working in the haunt industry first as an actor now as a room designer, prop building, makeup, and anything else I can create that can generate a scare.

My First post leading up to Transworld next week (3/18/15) is dedicated to Grim Stitch Factory.
For those whom have never met the man behind the art they should, as I will be able to do this next week. I first learned about this place while researching on how to make a realist looking skin mask. this was a picture that I found that push me to hassle this guy to tell me how to do it.

For those that think this is gross is only looking at it from the thought that this is real. to some extent it is. There is information on his website that I invite everyone to look at. When I look at his work I see the beauty in the art and what it takes to do it. I have badgered the man too much to find out the process of what is done to get the effect but like a true artist, I was only given hints and elements to some of what it takes to make one but not the process itself. Which is fine because I spent the money buying the items and practiced a few times to duplicate one of these for me to wear in the Haunted House that I work in. I think I was on the right road to being able to get my own started, but I also work 50 hours a week and I am completing my undergrad degree so my thought process was not focused on where I would want it to be which is in the art of creating masks. But this allowed me to appreciate his work that much more. The man behind the masks is just as interesting as his creations. I have included this picture of what he says is his workshop. I looks great and you can get all kinds of inspirations for all things horror related just by looking at the pictures not to mention being immersed in the feel of the room. this picture was also taken from his website Grim Stitch Factory. 

   
My wife doesn't like what I have done with my office because I have started to add things to the surrounding much like his workspace. My wife doesn't like it because that where we sit and watch TV at night and she says it creeps her out. I just see it as a win for me. 

Whether you are in the market for a mask for Halloween, add to a collection, or even if you have been planning on creating a character for a movie, you should start with this guy. Find him on Facebook, Twitter, and on the web.
I look forward to meeting the make behind all these creations at Transworld 2015.
