The Associate

Another film that nobody saw was 'The Associate'. I sculpted a makeup to turn Whoopie Goldberg into an older white man. For some strange reason, she had gotten to know Marlon Brando, and insisted that we try to make her look as much like him as possible. So this is my attempt to graft Brando's features onto Whoopie Goldberg's head. I never saw the film so I don't know how well this makeup worked. I had to build that clay up pretty damn thick in some places, and that usually makes for a tricvky makeup that moves funny.

The sculpture in these photos is still rough as the final detailing is done after the pieces are cut and floated off of the stone life cast.
