The Radar

I’ve always been interested in stage and monster make-up, and it turns out SFX artists want to know how the digital side of monster FX happens too. I’ll be bringing a laptop, and if you worked on Grimm or have any monster work you want to show off, just email me a link or bring a flash drive and we can have a little Show-and-Tell! Who knows, maybe you’ll get some good ideas for the holiday!

This month we will me moving to The Florida Room in the NE. They have a nice little back room with a pool table and no windows that we’ll be taking over.
