"Little Eddie" from "The Blob" (1988). This was the first major effect I was in charge of on the first major film I worked on. I think I was 19 years old.

Here is another character I designed and created for "Hellboy II: The Golden Army". @RealGDT was cool enough to let me design a creature from scratch. His only input was "design the mask to blend onto the actor's own mouth". This is what I came up with: "The Chamberlain".

"The Chamberlain" from "Hellboy II: The Golden Army". Director @RealGDT was kind enough to let me design it myself, which is incredibly rare. I always say if there were more Guillermos in Hollywood I probably would have never left the movie biz.

"Cathedral Head" from "Hellboy II: The Golden Army". I sculpted and painted this guy based on a design from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. I also modeled the cathedral part on the computer and it was 3D printed- something that was not done a lot in 2008.

I did this at the beginning of this year. It's the first sculpt I did in Z Brush since leaving the FX industry in 2009. I will have to relearn a lot of the technical aspects of the program once I have some more time but I was surprised at how much I actually did remember about it

I'm 55 years old.I don't understand why people are afraid to admit their age. Being older means you are smarter and more experienced than you used to be and that's way more important than "looking good". It's so fucking dumb.

1/6 When I first decided to start a fine art career, I wanted to be a sculptor (this was the late 90's/2000 ish). The idea was to use the skills I had learned in the makeup effects industry and apply that to my own fine art sculpture. 👇

When the toxicity of Twitter and social media gets to be too much, go back to art. Go and listen to your favorite music, read your favorite books, look at your favorite painters. It puts everything back into perspective. It will open your heart back up.

If you are an artist, you are an artist. How we sell our work doesn't even factor in as far as I'm concerned. It's just a means to an end. We sell so that we can keep making art. I have no loyalty to any means of selling. I only have loyalty to the art.
