Hi Everyone, here`s what I`m working on at the moment. It`s a life size silicone head of an old man. I sculpted it in clay from scratch(no life casts),actually some years ago.
I always wanted to do a silicone skin of it, just was never brave enough till now to attempt it! I imagine him as coming from somewhere in the Mediteranean, hence the darker skin tone.
I`ll finish him off with some graying hair and eyebrows.
Thanks for looking. Jamie

I've always loved this piece Jamie. It's amazing how different he looks in silicone with a paint job rather than in bronze. One big difference between realistic sculpture and traditional sculpture.
He looks great without hair, but I'm anxious to see him with a bit of the gray stuff. Looks like you do your own silicone casting and panting also. Is there anything you can't do? I'd love to see a demo of a silicone paint job. I assume it is done with air brushing the base and hand detailing with some translucent paints?

Thanks Heidi, I geuss it`s coming from a FX background where you kind of have to know how to do as many things as possible, if you want to have constant work. Speaking of which, I`ve just added a makeup FX page to my website: http://www.avatarsculptureworks.com/Makeup%20fx%20page.htm
I`ll try and get some stuff together to do a silicone painting tut at some point, as well.

Jamie,
I love your work, I went to your website and I was totally amaze. 
I have a question about the Silicone, what is the Life time on it ?
Also the eyes, is there a kit to make those? My guess is that you
made it yourself. What kind of clear resin do you use for that?
The ones on your website the hair is great I won't even ask how long is took. Very impressive.
Good Luck to you.
Kathi |

Hi Kathi
Sorry to take so long to reply. To answer your questions: If you mean how long will the silicone last, then it`s a very long time as long as it`not left in direct sunlight. The eye`s I do make myself, when I have time. If not I`ll buy them in. They are made of clear acrylic. As far as I know they`re aren`t any kits to make them. They`re tricky things to make and took me years of experimenting and talking to occularists to get them right.
Thanks.
Jamie
