I had such a blast face painting for the Happy House Annual BBQ, Poker Tournament, Family picnic fundraiser on the Estate of Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson.)

The music was great. The food was awesome. The people were so nice. The weather was perfect. The crafts (run by my brilliant mom, The Craft Lady) were super-fabo.

The event raised lots of funds for a very good cause. Next year, you can attend the event too.

What a wild week. Had the opportunity to go on set with the funny and wonderful Jeff Sutphen, host of Nickelodeon’s BrainSurge. I can’t tell you what we were doing… it’s a secret… but it was fun.

The FaceMaker goes to an audition

FaceMakers — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 06:08:06 +0000

Today, The FaceMaker went to an audition for Nickelodeon. They were looking for young people with unique talents. OF COURSE, I went to show them what a FaceMaker looks like. It was tons of fun. I met the very wonderful Bill Dance of Bill Dance Casting. He told me some great stories about special FX makeup in the movies and suggested that I go visit the Max Factor Museum. I’m going to go real soon.

Backstage at “Wicked”

FaceMakers — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:23:40 +0000

I had the amazing honor of being invited to shadow the Makeup Supervisor on the National Touring Company of “Wicked” during a performance at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles.

My adventure began with being allowed through the guarded backstage door. My wonderful guide introduced me to EVERYONE. I smiled and waved like I belonged. We then went deep into the dressing area where I watched her turn the actress playing Elphaba from caucasian to green. Then the secrets of the fast hair style changes were revealed.

I saw the monkey heads, the wizard head and the hammerheads. I watched part of the show from the wings. I was wowed by the quick costume changes. And I got to see “Defying Gravity” up close and personal.

But the best part of all, was during the intermission, I got to help touch up the lead’s green makeup. A face painter’s dream!

A glorious and memorable day.

Painted by Mark Reid

I had the great privilege of taking a class with the extremely talented Master Face and Body Painter, Mark Reid.

I learned tons of new and wonderful techniques – especially some scarey and yucky stuff that the boys will really like.

Here is a picture of Mark and me. I’m the green one.
