So I work night security at a summer camp around here. I love it, the camp is beautiful and I like hearing the birds at 4:30 am. I also spend a lot of time looking at zombie make up tips. Any one that has talked to me for a few minutes in the past few weeks will know that I have recently been a little preoccupied with the walking dead. In fact last night I finished reading The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.
So I have been on a quest to do some zombie make-up. I looked through a lot of sites around the webs and found some great tips on how to do different things. Today I used liquid latex, toilet paper, face paint and some fake blood made of corn syrup, red food dye and chocolate syrup (probably the sweetest blood you’ll ever taste).
Here are some pictures of the final product:






Unfortunately the only face paint I could find was white. I think though that I can do a successful effect by just using the liquid latex over layers. That way i could have a much more “fresh” zombie look. I will try o test that some time soon. Also I am going to try to make prosthetic skin that can be torn away to reveal blood or other things for an effect of being eaten. This is surely a fun hobby and at the very least can make for some good Halloweens or even some movies.

I am in Los Angeles now, at the LMU campus for three weeks. I come home August 4th. It’s not bad here on the campus, lots of grass and palm trees and very nice weather. The center of LA is about 20 miles from here, so I don’t get all that noise and pollution and other stuff. I don’t have much to say other than I am here, and pretty busy except for a few hours each day.

Enjoy July everyone.

I have nothing good to say today, but I found some good quotes over the past few days.
