I CREATED GENERAL MAYHEM MAKEUP STUDIO IN 1985 AFTER VIEWING GODZILLA 1985 AND THE GENERAL MAYHEM THAT I SAW ON SCREEN.
WHEN I STARTED DOING MAKEUP I FOUND WORK DOING STUDENT FILMS AND SMALLER PROJECTS.
EVENTUALLY, I FOUND WORK ON BIGGER PROJECTS AND WITH BIGGER PRODUCTION COMPANIES.
TO IMPROVE MY SKILLS I ATTENDED WORKSHOPS WITH BERT ROTH (ABC MAKEUP DEPT) AND WITH A TRADE SCHOOL NAMED ROBERT FINANCE BEAUTY SCHOOL.
AS I FURTHER GOT INTO MAKEUP I DESIRED TO INCREASE MY KNOWLEDGE AND IMPROVE MY SKILLS BY ATTENDING WORKSHOPS WITH MAC, THE MAKEUP SHOP, THE POWDER GROUP AND LAST LOOKS MAKEUP ACADEMY.
THOSE INSTRUCTORS INCLUDED VE NEIL, RICHARD SNELL, SAM FINE, ROBERTA FLOYD, MARIETTA CARTER NARCISSE, THOM SURPRENAUNT.
THROUGH THEM AND ON MY OWN I LEARNED HOW TO CREATE AND APPLY MAKEUP FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES AS WELL AS CREATING AND APPLYING PROSTHETICS, TEETH FABRICATION, FACIAL HAIR APPLICATION,
I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE DICK SMITH PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP COURSE.
I ALSO TAUGHT MAKEUP/SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKEUP COURSES THROUGH CUNY AND SUNY UNIVERSITIES IN NEW YORK. THESE INCLUDE QUEENS COLLEGE, BARUCH UNIVERSITY, NASSAU COMMUNITY, SAINT JOHN'S AND AT KINMARIE SCHOOL IN SINGAPORE.
FROM 1997 - 2005 I HEADED THE MAKEUP EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AT CHRISTINE VALMY AND CREATED, AT THAT TIME, THEIR MAKEUP CORRICULEM.
IN 2001 I JOINED THE LOCAL 798 HAIR AND MAKEUP UNION. IN 2006 I BECAME A JOURNEYMAN MAKEUP ARTIST.
IN 2000 I GRADUATED WITH A BACHELORS OF FINE ARTS FROM QUEENS COLLEGE.
