ABIIBA ART
Did you know that I'm an artist? As of this date, my work is owned by collectors in Houston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Czech Republic, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Canada, Norway, and Austin. My once a year creation of new work is always an adventure.. Send me an email if you want to know when the next series is available. Collectors are notified first...
Was the Production Supervisor and Casting Director for a VISA commercial featuring Yao Ming. We had to quickly gather the people, location and all of the production resources together in just four days to make the shoot a success. One of the tasks involved finding a stand-in for Yao-MIng who is seven feet, six inches tall. I think that I, at six feet, came barely up to his underarm... and a stand-in for Jackie Chan... Maggiano's served up the best catered crew lunch that I've ever had on a shoot. It was so good that even the grips were asking who the caterer was..... At any rate, the other parts of the shoot took place in Singapore with Jackie Chan, since he couldn't come to Houston. The finished spot will air internationally.... Producer, Josie Leonard, was the best to work with!
Watch for: THE MAN WHO CAME BACK This feature was shot in Conroe and Bracketville, TX The cast included: Armand Assante, Carol Alt, James Patrick Stewart, George Kennedy, Ken Norton, Billy Zane, Eric Braeden, Sean Young and Jennifer O'Dell. The Producers were Chuck Walker, Sam Cable, and John Castellanos. The Executive Producers were Eric Braeden, and Steve Bowen. I was the Co-Key Makeup Artist and was responsible for the makeup for Carol Alt, Sean Yopung, George Kennedy and Jennifer O'Dell.
Great shoot at The Alamo in Bracketville, TX.!
