IM OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD
Yesterday I sent off my application to go to
the MAKE-UP DESIGNORY in Burbank, CA.
Now I just have to wait for my acceptance letter!
I wrote a cheesy/lifeless/mechanical sounding letter
to their admissions department that started with:
"To Whom It May Concern"
and ended with:
"Sincerely,
Dustin Paul Pilkington".
It really wasn't thaaaaaaaaat bad... I just hope i got the idea across
that I really want this.
If I get accepted (and if I can take out
enough loans to cover tuition...hey, I'm working one
step at a time here!), I'll start school on
January 7th!
a brief history of my love for the faux-macabre:
----------------------------------------
Since I was a wee tot, I've had a curious desire
to create special make-up effects. I rented
"The Making of Michael Jackson's Thriller" enough to own
15 different copies of it! I was OBSESSED with drawing
Freddy Kruger and "Off The Wall" era Michael Jackson.
I was probablly the only 5/6 year old in existence
to have a poster of Freddy Krueger ripping off the heads of
baby dolls on his wall.
Since then I've been in love with cheese ball creature effects,
squirting/dyed corn syrup, Fangoria magazines and
Full Moon's "Videozone" segments.
I'm so psyched at the prospects of making a living doing special effects..
Keep your fingers (or toes if you are a freak) crossed for me!
I'll fill you in on what I've been doing the past month
on my next journal entry. I have to go wash my dad's filthy car!
ps. quick question:
IS THIS TOO OVER THE TOP?
COVER FOR OUR NEW 7 INCH
