I
originally was going to title this post "What's my name, bitch", but
remembered I'm not Freddy Krueger no matter how many times I say that
word. With that being said, ello' I'm Ash, also known by Ash Von Horror
and Ash Slaughter.
So
let me fill you in on a few things about myself. I'm a 31 year old
professional weirdo who likes expressing myself with make-up. Brief
enough, yes? And that's why I'm here, to discuss the lovely world that
is SFX/Make-up.
I've
been doing make-up as a hobby for about 10 years now. I love everything
about it, love that you can do just about anything with it. Create
characters, recreate icons, scare the mortals.. ya know, the fun stuff.
I
tend to get a lot of questions about my process, how do I come up with
ideas, etc, so I'm going to do my best to answer some of those questions
right now!
Where do you come up with ideas?
-
Sometimes friends will send me artwork to try to recreate my own take.
Sometimes it's literally random and I'm winging it as I go. Sometimes I
want to recreate characters that are interesting. Sometimes I want to
challenge myself.
What's your favorite make-up you've done so far?
-
I actually don't have a particular favorite, but I am rather proud of
some of my make- ups. Pinhead (Hellraiser) & Julie (Return of the
Living Dead 3) I'm most proud of.
What inspires you?
- Horror. Horror is my life, my love, my soulmate. I embrace horror, cherish it.
What's more difficult: Beauty or SFX?
- Beauty. I don't know why, but for me it's more difficult.
And
if you ever have any questions, hit me up! I'm always willing to help
others, especially in the world of make-up. Anything that encourages
people to express their art? I'm your biggest supporter. Well, I hope
you enjoyed reading my ramblings and I'll be here coming up with more
ideas for you guys!
🖤- Ash
