Recipe:
Burger: Each peice has a tin foil base, covered in expanding foam clay. then painted. I textured the burger with a brick to get the peices, and the cheese was done with silicone.
Onion Rings: They are long thin peices of foam, dipped in sillicone, then dipped in saw dust and painted. Then I glossed them to look greasy.
Milkshake: This was done with a thin coating of plaster with pink paint around the glass, then flecs of red paint for strawberries, and plaster in a frosting bag for whipped cream.
BBQ: The bbq was made with curable liquid resin dyed to match bbq. I poured some of it on the burger to make the bbq burger look. I found the lunch tray, and printed the checkered wrapping.
Leia was my halfway point Model
Necronomicon:
This was done with toilet paper, paint and glue for a props class, and a short play about conjuring. The Teeth are pieces of plastic spoons, and the pages were stained with coffee and tea, and rebound by myself.
Props
Atlantian Helmet
This helmet was done by making a saran wrap model of the head. Creating a pattern and cutting it out of foam, contact adhesiveing them together, covering it in silicone, and smoothing the edges, then painting and aging it with a french enamel varnish (ground chestnut powder, and alcohol)
Then I carved the fins from foam, and pinned them on to attach.
Carving / Sculpture
Here is a 10 foot disco Ball face that I carved along with Kelly Sherlock the Charge artist at the Barrington Stage Company. This was used in La Cage Aux Follies and is still on display at the company. Then Rosario and I cut and attached each piece of glasslike plexy by hand.

This is Jesus, Carved for La Cage Aux Follies, this was a group effort carved by Primarily Sam Gainer, a props artisan at Barrington Stage, then for expediency sake. I worked on the legs of the peice, and Kelly Sherlock the Charge Artist worked on his upper half. Though unfortunately Jesus was ultimately cut from the final version of the show for rigging reasons.
This is a filligre carving I did for a props class, I made it by carving the shape from clay, then creating a plaster mold. Then I created two silicone versions of the mold, one original and one dyed. (White and Blue) then I made one in hot glue that I then painted gold and hit with another wash of a french enamel varnish.

Studio Art and Samples
This is a colored pencil potrait I did in highschool, of Taron Eggerton from the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service. I found out last minute that the art show I entered it in did not accept weapons, so a last minute bananna was added via sticky note.
Paint without a brush assignment from college. The reference is by the computer. Alot of the texture was done with scrapers, string, and chains.
