Q&A with: Monster Maker By Night FxAs an artist, when did you first realize you were doing what you loved?I started off a massive fan of monster movies from a young age. That gradually led to writing andthen filmmaking. It was making movies that would ultimately spawn my passion for makeup andmakeup effects.Growing up in a small Kansas town in the 1990’s meant I had to improvise and teach myself howto do things. So when I would make a horror picture, I would not only have to figure out thelogistics of filming, but also how to accomplish the makeup and effects. Of course, starting out Iwasn’t very good, but that never stopped me.For years, my focus was only on the filmmaking aspect of the arts, but after attending the Schoolof the Art Institute of Chicago and finishing my master’s degree as well as starting a family, Iknew that committing to the rigors of movie making wasn’t going to work anymore. Howeverbeing an artist meant I had to find something to feed the creative beast, so to speak. Havingfiddled with effects work for years in my movie making, I finally decided that I would return to thething that charged my creativity as a child. I found what I was looking for in Dick Smith’s basic 3Dmakeup course and ultimately his advanced course.How long have you been in this field?Technically I have been in the field for about 20 years, but only became totally devoted to makeupand makeup effects in the last six.Have you collaborated with anyone special, if not and you could; who would it be?One aspect that I love so much about the makeup effects community is that it’s very giving.Every professional makeup effects artist I have met, or chatted with, has always had the time toanswer my questions and give me advice. One of thecrowning achievements so far is having my work (actually, it was my first prosthetic work)viewed and critiqued by Academy Award winning makeup artist Kevin Haney (Driving MissDaisy). His only critique was that my mask needed more wrinkles, advice I have since taken toheart. I would love to meet and chat with Dick Smith, Rick Baker and the guys at KNB effectsgroup. It was their work that first made an impression on me as a child.

What is your inspiration for doing what you do?My inspiration lies in many things, but mainly it is in my love for creating, seeing something that isin my mind come to life, and seeing others react to it. My parents and grandparents have beenvery inspirational as well. In fact, it’s their creativity that has pushed me into the arts in the firstplace.Future plans?Currently I am working to create the Frankenstein Monster for the Topeka Civic Theatreproduction of Young Frankenstein, the musical. I also have a couple of personal projects in theworks, as well as finishing my advanced makeup course. I hope to get more work in film, as wellas photography work in the future. I really love the theatrics of what I do.Who would you compare your work to?I would compare my work to the early makeup effects masters, namely Jack Pierce and DickSmith. Their work continues to captivate me. They were innovators, perfectionists, and withoutthem, there would be no makeup effects as we know them today.Closing thoughts:The world of producing special makeup effects is quite a task and not an easy one to learn.Recent special effects makeup shows have caused many to believe that this process is simpleto execute. This couldn’t be further from the truth. These shows, while helping to expose peopleto special makeup effects, have also skewed the art of making prosthetics by not showing majorparts of the process, the hardest and most problematic. In essence, they have given viewers afalse perspective of what it takes to create a final product, leading many individuals to think thatlearning special effects makeup is easy. While this aspect is a bit disheartening to me, I do takegreat delight in helping individuals understand the full process. As a beginner, it is important toask questions when you are stumped, but realize that in order to truly grasp this process, youhave to dothings on your own, make mistakes and then learn from them. But, like any other art form, thekey to mastering it is dedication, patience, and above all else, passion.https://www.facebook.com/MonsterMakerByNight?ref=br_tf

MUA: Jake Jackson

By Phantom

"My first photo shoot was an outdoor scene. I was nervous for two reasons, first; i

didn't know how to pose and second i was afraid to get bitten. "

Karmelle Belyeu is a beautiful spunky teenager from Kansas. She said, Even as a

small child, she loved being in front of the camera. She started modeling 3 years

ago when one of her friends became a photographer and needed a pretty face in

front of the camera.

"I have worked with an amazing MUA by the name of Jennifer Sullivan Cassidy.

She is extremely talented and one of the coolest people that stands out from the

several i have worked with so far." Says Belyeu.

"That has to be my inspiration also, not just loving what i do, but excited about

the wonderful opportunities and talented people i meetalong the way."

"I have a couple of photo shoots lined up and will be walking in a spring break

Berry-De-lish

Av Magazines official spring drink

By Citty Kat

The skies are a little bit brighter, the sun is shining a little longer and it's getting hot outside.

Time to break out the sandals, sun dresses and springtime drinks. Put away the hot cocoa

cause i have a treat for you. This drink is easy to make and good for everyone. Even your manly

man will ask for another sip or two.

I came up with this sweet little concoction by accident. I enjoy making non-alcoholic drinks but

this one would be good to if you add a splash of gin or two.

What you will need to make the "Berry-De-lish" is :

1 cup Sweet ripe fresh strawberries cut in half

1 liter of Ginger Ale soda

2 cups crushed ice

1 cup of Dole Strawberry Banana juice

rock sugar to put on the rim of glass.

Basically, You will blend the strawberries and juice first in a blender on high. Next add your ice

and slowly add your ginger ale. Blend well. Next, To garnish your glass in sugar crystals, I

dipped the rim of my glass in honey so that the sugar sticks better. So you would need to lay

down foil or wax paper smear a little honey one one half of the paper and pour your sugar on

the other half. Dip your glass in the honey first then in your sugar. Pour your drink and garnish

with a fresh strawberry. Enjoy.

KC Face & Body Art by Citty Kat

The world of art is not just limited to paint and paper. Of course, when it comes to

the canvas you choose..the body is our greatest work of art. Piercings, tattoos and

branding can be permanent forms of body art. But, what if you want to explore your

wild side on a temporary level. A full sleeve tattoo, Need your face painted for the big

game, leopard print eye shadow or a snake painted down the middle of your back.

That is what Quentin Fox and his team provide at KC Face and Body art.

"I think face and body art is a unique way for people to express themselves. I am

inspired by my clients helping them achieve their vision. Whether it is a child , adult or

organization, bringing the art to life is fun for me." Says Mr. fox. " I have been

painting for about 3 years. What inspired me is Demi Moore's body paint by artist

Joanne Gair. To see a living canvas, that can respond to you and be painted again &

again is amazing."

Quentin is excited to announce future plans to expand the business into the

promotional model field. "I have currently added a new artist whose background is a

fine arts major so i know he will add great value to the team." Mr. Fox says what

makes them stand out from similar businesses is their ability to connect with people,

understanding their clients needs, also planning and quality execution are key

components of their success working for both indiviuals or businesses."

“Nautical Venture”

By Ashia AckovIn the wide world of fashion, there is a newmaven on the scene. I doubt you have evenheard of her yet, but trust me, she is a forceto be reckoned with. Her name is Hollie,A.K.A. Marriebelle Morris. She is a youngwoman defining the term “Sci­Fi Fashion.” Iwas lucky enough to come across her photoon FaceBook and awed and amazed to findout that, not only was she gorgeous, shecreated the outfit she was modeling. Uponbeing interviewed, she had the following tosay….

My style is victorian focusing on Piratethemes, with elements of "steampunk". Myplan is to go to a fashion design schoolafter I get my associates degree fromJCCC. I want to design clothes & open anonline store I want to provide people withfuturistic minds, clothes to match. I wantto create wears that embodies ideas of ourfuture, as in the things we see in sci-fimovies. Fashion that is current with all ofmankind's innovations; light up clothes, UVreactive fabric, and so on. focusing onpeople belonging to the cyber subculture,bringing them into the light to lead us intoa new age of fashion. My inspiration formy line is the huge Steampunk movementthat really hit hard this last year.Steampunk is Victorian sci-fi and I lovemost things sci-fi, even what sci-fi wouldbe people to people of the Victorian era.My garments are reworked Victorianfashions. Victorian fashion is a very looseconcept since there is so many ways tointerpret it so i focused in more for anoverall Nautical theme. Pirates were ahuge thing in Victorian times and I am soin love with their wardrobe, many of mypieces are pirate themed. If not then theyinspired by what pirates love most; thesea. The sea's many shades of blues andconstant movement make it an overallmagical and beautiful thing. I try torepresent the sea well by making beautifulpieces! All of this, the sea, Victorianfashion, pirates and all things Nautical,sums up my Passion, making the hints ofdeep red and thrown in roses appropriate.Also, I knew I wanted to be a fashiondesigner since kindergarten; when I triedto make my turtle costume a seriousfashion statement. I have been sewingsince my freshman year of high school andhaven't stopped since. I’ve apprenticed ina sewing store teaching others how to sew.I would have loved to be David Bowie'sdesigner. I am very inspired by hiswardrobe, music him in general.

Get in shape, stay in shape

By Phantom

When it comes to fitness, the goal is work from the inside out. If your not giving your body what it needs to perform, you can expect less than desirable results. We spoke with a fitness trainer from Topeka about The secret to his success and this is what he had to say.

"I have been a fitness expert for 4 years and have been involved in sports my entire life. An ankle injury sidelined me from playing basketball therefore, i got into working out. I work at Great life and fitness YWCA Topeka. I'm also going to school for athletic training to help others like myself "Prevent" sport related injuries.

Bikini season is right around the corner for you ladies and of course you want to tone up fast. To be honest, there is no fool-proof way to flat abs. You will have to put forth the effort and hard work to accomplish the goals you are striving for. The secret toward having toned abdominals is portion control.

Cut your portions in half. I tell my clients to eat what they like because our bodies need fats, sugars, proteins and carbs. But the key is moderation because over indulgence in anything is bad for you even if it's supposedly good for us. Cut your portions in half and workout at least 3 times a week and the results will come. By the way, Grapefruit and green tea are a natural fat burner, try adding some to your routine.

If you need help, my training sessions are reasonably priced and you can call anytime to set up an appointment. My goal is to help you reach yours. "
