Makeup Artist James Cummins Rip - reddwarf - 06-27-2011
This is a little late but I just found out about the depressing news that James Cummins, Makeup Artist died On December 1st of last year.
James worked on a lot of films in the 80's including my favorite "HOUSE". James created Big Ben of course which I'm fortunate to have the screen used Ben Head and helmet in my collection.
I contacted James in 88 when I was trying to get into Special Effects makeup and he hired me over the phone to work on his film "Boneyard".
The man was very nice and open about his work films. At one point he was moving and gave me ALL of the Ben molds, the Witch head mold and most of the effects molds.
I just wanted to make this a small tribute to a great artist. RIP James, 51. You will be missed.
