Nurse Jackie: Spotlighting the Pros

To much success, Showtime just launched the new dramedy series, Nurse Jackie, starring Eddie Falco.   The show depicts a very compent but self medicating ER nurse.   Of course with the backdrop of a hospital, special effects are not far behind.   Temptu had the chance to sit down with the makeup FX designer, Vincent Schicchi as he commented on his favorite Temptu Dura Pro Palettes:

“I’ve enjoyed the Frozen Palette:  frozen, frost, deep bruise, and gangrene are great for many different “dead” looks.   The Grease and Grime palette is also extemely useful. I’ve used it many times to simulate all sorts of dirt. The colors are very accurate, and it has a very varied assortment, including one of my favorites, rust. I find that the grease color is perfect for any industrial look and the mud and marsh are great”

Thanks Vincent!  We’ll be watching and looking for these great effects!

Tattooing for a Worthy Cause

On May 23rd a crowd of 300 gathered in Fullerton California at “In the Skin” Tattoo Parlor to help raise money for great cause…Hannah Powell-Auslam is the youngest girl (at age 10) to have breast cancer. A slew of tattoo artists and our friends at Standing Room Only donated their time and talents to tattoo or airbrush pink ribbons on friends, family members, and all those who attended to help support Hannah. Here are some of the photos by artist Debbie Salcedo-Tong from Standing Room Only. Debbie is a master with the airbrush and her cute stencil designs were a big hit! All tattoos were airbrushed with Temptu Dura.
