The godfather of special effects make-up died today at the age of 92.
He was a mentor to an entire industry (special effects make-up artists) and pioneered/created some amazing illusions on screen! I am proud to have been a student of Dicks. He truly was an amazing individual.. RIP Dick Smith |

I was also a student by way of his books, which fostered a true love for special effects make-up. An icon is gone. R.I.P. Dick Smith.

I had my own monster make-up kit as a kid (just a bunch of stuff I got from my mom and other purchases!
I've got the his Famous Monster's make-up edition magazine - its a reprint, but such a great blast from the past.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Dick Smith, may he rest in peace. “He was always impatiently searching for ways to make the fantastic more believable.” Cool.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I am also a student of his books, very sad news. My love of Magic goes hand-in-hand with my love of Special FX and FX Makeup. I wonder how many of us at the Café share an appreciation for both? Both do have a lot in common, particularly the art of illusion.

Here's that magazine. Do a search on it to find all the photos from all the make-ups in there!
