So, a lot has been going on lately with work. I'm knee-deep in Halloween prep and in just one more day we will be open in all of our scary-glory.
For those of you who don't know, I work professionally as a costume designer, builder, and makeup artist (currently full-time at a theme park), and September/October is one of, if not THE busiest times of year for me. Needless to say, I am exhausted. I'm ready to be over the tech-week (i.e. "Hell Week") hump and back to having days off (and a semi-regular schedule).
Regardless of the mayhem it brings, I LOVE Halloween!
I am a big SFX and gore makeup fan...not that I can really explain the latter, (perhaps it stems from my love of pranks?) However, I know that a major reason I love SFX artistry is that they are modern-day magicians. They make fantasy a reality, and I love being a part of that world. (Lord of the Rings, anyone?)
In fact, I love being a part of the entertainment world in general. I adore the thrill and insight that acting brings, the sparking creativity which fuels design, or the passion of working with my hands in crafting, scultping, or sewing. I especially love the impact that it can have on third parties. I hope to spread my fiery passion for the arts out into the world...which brings me to this website...
Basically, http://rachelgilmour.wix.com/rachelgilmour has become a central navigation hub for a my various interests and endeavors, because although they are related and within the same entertainment field, they are too different and too vast to explore fully within one website. Therefore, if you visit either the Home page or About Me page you'll find links to my acting, costuming, and handmade goods websites. Through them you'll find all of the pictures, resumes, or pricing that you need.
If you simply would like to know what I'm up to you can visit my twitter or come right back here and read my blog. I'll try to keep at least somewhat current on my projects and major news.
Thank you for visiting!
