Monsterpalooza 2010

Master Sculptor Lee Joyner explains his sculpting techniques with an interested special effects artist.  
Disgusting, disturbing, and dreadful, are nothing but compliments coming from attendees at this years 2nd annual Monsterpalooza event! As the place was packed from wall to wall with monster lovers, creators, and costars of the films they once screamed in, The Marriott Burbank Convention Center was the place to be from April 9th - 11th if you are a fan of everything creepy. While some fans even dressed as their old favorites like Frankenstein, Freddie, and Jason, others played paparazzi to the guest speakers, ( like Barney Burman,The Chiodo Brothers, Howard Berger), monstrous displays of merchandise, and of course clay-tastic creations. Cinema Makeup School was definitely a snap shot hot spot!
With Director of Admissions & Master sculptor Lee Joyner working on a few of his unique creature designs, student Miranda Jory sculpted away on her full body Dragon creature design and Graduate Garret Christensen also kept the clay moving as he created a gangly vulture! The sculpting at the booth seemed to generate a lot of talk and interest in the school as well as the creature maquette class, as even a few big names in the makeup Industry like Jordu Shell, and Ve Neill, came by to check out the students work! Graduates Garret Christensen and Emily Nakasone also participated in Cinema Makeup School's awesome blood demo with MUA Instructor Rallis Kahn. It truly was a gory hit and in the end the convention had great focus on the monsters and the people who made them.
