Jordu had the privilege to work as lead character designer on James Cameron’s first film since “Titanic”, entitled “Avatar”. Many of you have been patiently waiting for any information, any news, any tidbit whatsoever from this soon-to-be epic. Well, we respect confidentiality agreements, so mum’s the word from us, at least until “Avatar” is released in December. But an unofficial movie site, devoted to any and all news regarding “Avatar” is now online at avatarmoviezone.com. Be sure to check out Jordu’s profile.

Here is a clip from the most recent episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Our good friend Tom Savini gives a mini tour of his makeup effects program at Douglas Center in Pittsburgh. Thanks, Tom, for showcasing the Goon and Shock masks from your collection.

So I’m getting ready to go to England to teach at Neill Gorton’s Millennium FX, and I am looking forward to my fourth trip abroad. Neill’s a swell guy, and I remember him being very excited to start on a Davros sculpture for the new Doctor Who show that he does the creature work for. Can’t wait to see what he came up with! He also updated the Cybermen robots, and they are amazing. I believe he even sells replicas through his site!

How cool are these?
Anyway, I thought I would post these amazing pics I took of Stonehenge while I was there last year. This ancient megalithic site is truly humbling. And creepy.

Then there are these ORIGINAL, SCREEN USED ape feet from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I just about passed out when I saw these. My buddy Cliff of Creature Effects in Uxbridge had these on loan from the legendary makeup artist Stuart Freeborn (Yoda, Chewbacca, lots of other ass-kicking iconography), and they were on display at the London Makeup Artist Trade Show. Amazing.

Well, time to go ‘across the pond’ again….Talk to you all again soon.
