For a long time, I have been working a day job that is only loosely associated with the kind of artwork I want to create. I like working on paper or on screen making drawings and designs. Working things out on paper. I have been working in the costume department for film and television. I have about 10 years of experience in this field. I’ve tried every job the department has to offer; from being costume designer to costume ageing, to leatherworking to dressing background performers. All had their plusses and minuses but none of them had drawing as the main part of the job.

So, I’ve decided to switch departments and make the transition into the Art Department. This seems like a simple enough idea at first, until you understand that Unions play a huge part in the film world. And the Art Department is represented by a different union than I am currently part of. So I need to apply to the new union and getting in isn’t a cakewalk. I need to prove I have experience and am capable of doing the job.

In the near future ill be sharing some of the things I do that will expand on my portfolio for the art department.

My shop will still be open ;) so please visit.
