3-D Self Portrait - This is a site you won't believe. This is done by "Kaz" who is a makeup artist for Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios. What an excellent way to display your own self portrait. This is really eerie to look at and would be really disconcerting sitting on your bookshelf but certainly QUITE interesting. Go have a look but look close. It's hard to believe but true.

Forrest J. Ackerman web site - The incredible, the one and the only Forrest J. Ackerman's official website.

Hooray for Forry!!!

He is very interested in helping out young makeup artists, who have what it takes, to get into the business and has mentored some well known artists you would know.

The Character Shop - I know I have this site on the links page already but this is the direct link to the FAQ page wherein Lazzarini answers the question of how to get into the business of SPFX makeup work. Basically he says DON'T. And in some ways he is right on. An interesting, straight-forward, in-depth and informative look at the business from one who IS involved and recommends you find some other line of work. Comical in Lazzarini's offbeat kind of style. But probably more true than not.

Still under construction - but it has been for many, many months. He does a lot of life casting and body castings for a variety of projects including some feature film work. This is an interesting site to look at and has some very useful information a lot of which is related to those living on the west coast and who want to become involved in the film business out there. Check it out. A lot of decent photos to look at.

Frankenstein's Homepage These are a couple of guys from North Carolina who call themselves back-yard monster makers. They pride themselves upon the fact that they build things or create things using whatever they have at hand. But I was surprised at how good some of the stuff was. These guys do some interesting and unique things using what they have at available and do some of their own film work (on video) as well. Pretty interesting work they're doing. Have a look.

Jumara's Special Effects Page - This is a personal web page of a makeup artist who is into the Pinhead and Spawn films and duplicates the makeup and the costumes quite well. Interesting site with a few photos of his work, though not many. Give it a look.

The Tooth Fairy - This is an interesting site whose owners are in the business of creating all kinds of custom made false teeth for makeup effects use.
