Kosar's Face/Body Art in Imagine FX

Last year, I did some face and body painting for Full Body of Horror & WildClaw Theatre's "Monster Draw" event that they hold periodically throughout the year. In the May 2011 issue of Imagine FX magazine, there was a plug for the Monster Draw event that featured my face and body art on artist and model Sophia Rapata. Check it out here:

A New Door Opens...

As I am slowly relocating my studio to my first commercial gallery/studio/workshop, I get geeked out by every little addition to the space. I now have my company name "Kosart Effects Studios, LLC" on the business directory marquee for the business park, as well as on the front and back door! Here is a picture of the signage on my front door taken by my sister:

And here is my studio "skull" key in the lock. The key is nothing less than "BAD ASS," a present given to me by my sister!

Live Sculpting at Blick's 100th Anniversary Follow-Up

On Wednesday, April 27th, I sculpted live at Blick Art Materials' 100th Anniversary Event at the Blick store in Wheaton, IL. Blick is one of my sponsors for my FX Classes. There were a lot of people who came out to wish Blick a Happy 100th Birthday, and I really enjoyed sculpting and promoting my classes. The mask I was sculpting at the event was the sculpt I started as a sculpting demo for my inaugural mask course in April. Just like the C2E2 Hulk bust, this sculpture has to take a back seat to my real projects, but I will hopefully finish this creature soon. Here are some pictures from the event:
