BONUS EPISODE - Masters of Makeup Effects

Bonus Episode:
Ok so a little bonus episode for everyone because on September 13th an incredible book is due to be born into our world, 
Howard Berger and Marshall Julius are introducing us to Masters of Makeup Effects - A century of practical magic!
So often when I chat to artists about their start in the industry and we talk about when they were a kid or a teenager, so many of them will mention a book or a magazine that they managed to beg their parent to get for them and it ends up being so cherished and loved, read over and over again from start to finish….
I am so excited that there is a book now that some of those artists are actually not only in but it will be a first book that some young movie making, makeup effects loving kids will be begging their parents to get them and so the cycle continues… 
It really is such a beautiful book, so so well thought out with so much love for the work and the community within its pages…
