Make Up Artist and Animator

I'm really excited to show you this video. Not only did I help design and animate but I also had a chance to use my make up skills as the make up artist for this video. Cosmetology has always been a hobby of mine. In college I would do hair and make up for my friends studying fashion design for there runway shows. This is really the first time since then I have had a chance to do anything with it. Even more exciting is its for an AT&T video. I'm thinking of collecting some images to make a mini portfolio of my hair and make up work just for fun. 

Olay, Lauren Cosenza and Me?!

Here are two videos I worked on for Olay Beauty featuring Beauty Blogger, Lauren Cosenza. I was so excited to work on this, being a lover of beauty blogs myself and Olay products. I highly recommend Lauren Cosenza's blog also!

Lana Del Rey Tribute

This is a page from my sketchbook inspired by the song "Dark Paradise" by Lana Del Rey. The lyric I was most interested in was "...There's no remedy for memory...".

I love her album "Born To Die" its so nice to have an album you can listen to all the way through. I'm teaching myself "Video Games" on the guitar right now. Its a great song to practice playing if your a beginner like myself. 

I used a lot of different mediums on this one and was able to get a matte effect. Now I want to use a more reflective paint to contrast the bottle with the label and background. 

Inspiration Post of the Year!!!

I am so blown away by this commercial for Lancome. The animation, design and direction is astounding. I am so inspired and know you will be too.

 

Style

I am working on finding the right look for a children's book I am illustrating. This is part collage to give it texture. I love the font! The first letter is done in "Neo Retro Draw" font. I love it for this idea because it has negative space and reminds me of chalk drawing. 

Why Children Need Art

This is a great picture I saw posted on Facebook by the Massachusetts Teachers Association. The caption read 'Why we need art in our schools and in our lives'.

 

Buds With Suds

 "Buds With Suds" is the winning title for this new portfolio piece. I also added my "S.G" signature into the bubble work. 

 

Beauty

So aside from being an animator I am also a freelance make up artist and hair stylist. I have a love for hair and make up just like all girls. For me its another form of character design. These are the most recent shows I have worked on for fashion events.

I did the hair for this collection by Katrina Brown, recent MassArt alum. Make sure to like her on facebook, for her stunning garments.

 

This is another event I did for my good friend Victoria Black, a fibers major at Mass Art and nerd enthusiast! Check out her amazing Senior Thesis "The Awesome That Is Nerd".
