With the designs of real, retro computer icons, interfaces and webpages as inspiration, I created this using Canva and Procreate. I believe the only graphics I didn’t make myself are the grid in the background and the hand and arrow cursors (that little loading circle is all me!). Additionally, the typing, clicking and ambient air were recorded on my iPhone.
This was a fun project! It took a while, as I was working on it, sporadically, over the span of a few weeks. I would have loved it to be an online hit, but alas…
This was inspired by a shot of a plate from the Spanish short horror film “Piggy.” This is from 2022, but I recently watched the the full length film, and I love it.
The sound effects are from the following YouTube videos:
“Single Bee Buzzing | Sound Effect (Copyright Free)” from Sound Diary - Free Sound Effects
This project is the first miniature I’ve done in a while. I’m really proud of how it turned out! I designed it in Canva and aged it, and painted the graffiti, with alcohol paints.
This is what I consider to be my first real project on my Blackmagic camera (full disclosure: my parents got it for me; I’m very privileged to have parents who are supportive of me and a mom with a good job). My miniature billoard project (see: Reverend Rocky’s Tent of Miracles) was filmed on it too, but this selection of shots feels more legitimate to me.
Needless to say, this isn’t a real documentary. The voices, some sound effects, editing and filming were done by me, but the lights were my sister and cousin. I used additional audio from from the following YouTube Videos:
“VHS Noise in 4K” from Pauls Vids
“TV white noise static & footage sound (royalty free)” by Dar Golan

I had nothing profound to say with this one; I only thought it would be cool to see if I was capable of creating this beached girl at home. Ultimately, it was possible! I created this video on my driveway using a deflated kiddie pool, 150 pounds of sand, plants I picked from a nearby trail and my water hose! The waves were created by lifting the back of the deflated pool in order to propel the water forward.
I created a production bump for DOORANGEPEEL that I didn’t like, but I posted it with the intention to remake it at a later date. However, after using SPECTRE as a fictitious company behind some of my other “products,” I thought it would be cooler to make SPECTRE VIDEO its own production bump.

I’ve been a big fan of Bob Dylan for years! My mom was a fan of his and would play his music, but it wasn’t until I was a sophomore in high school that I became a huge fan.
Back when I was at Makeup-Designory, I created a clown inspired by Bob Dylan’s tune “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” using prosthetics. This time, since most of my art this focused on sculptures and props, I decided to attempt to make a marionette. Ultimately, the puppet aspects didn’t turn out great, but I’m proud of him. In addition to sculpting him, I made his clothes and the alley! The latter was done using foam, acrylic paint, alcohol based paint and lightweight spackle.

It’s very obvious that I took inspiration from Little Shop of Horrors (I have yet to see this flick all the way through) and Chia Pets! I created the art work using some fonts I messed around with in addition to drawing the blood. The VHS effect came from a pack I bought from Video Milkshake. The glowing liquid on the plants is real liquid from glosticks, so don’t try this at home!

I don’t care for the title, but I couldn’t think of something else.
You might have noticed that cannibalism is a theme I use a lot in my art. I began dealing with OCD in 2020, and there was a day I became paranoid that people thought I was a cannibal on the grounds of nothing, so that experience has inspired that in me. Additionally, I’ve always been curious about it.
The “meat” the main character, played by photographer Mallory Barry, was made of fake blood and gummies bears I had mixed in water when I melted them. Originally, I wanted there to be an instestine, but it didn’t work out, which is something I’m familiar with as a person who mostly experiments when I’m making my projects.

This is one of my favorites I’ve made. I was inspired by Justin Quinnell’s photography for this short. I made the mouth out of a plastic container that I cut the bottom off of, resin teeth, hot glue and crayola model magic in white. The cereal is real cereal and resin and the lunch food is obviously and cartoonishly fake, but you may notice the the milk carton has Evan Hughes’ missing picture from my Kill Streak project!
It took me a long time to finish this chair. I believe I started it in December of 2022, but the set wasn’t made until 2023. All I did for that was buy a carpet, some panels that I painted with with stain and a lamp from my house. The chair’s pulsing effect was created by me forcing my sister to sit behind it and sticker hand against the layer of balloons I used.

The only reason this made it on here is because of the body. Otherwise, I’m not that happy with the result.
After several attempts to use this dead body prop in a set, this is what I ended up with. I’m not crazy about it, but I’m still proud of the body!
This little guy’s core was made of tinfoil! I made his hands from polymer clay, but his head was made out of crayola model magic (which is why he looks ridiculous, but you do what you can with what you have).

This one is a little bit ridiculous, but my mom and her siblings were going to sell their dad’s house, so I wanted to squeeze some shooting in because it’s such a nice house. I don’t hate it, but I wish I’d had more time to come up with the thing coming from his throat instead of the boring black rope I bought from a certain bigbox store.
