Took some time out today to visit a well reviewed exhibit of movie magic special effect creature heyday mechanisms, type, deals. Glad I went, neat to see. Some of it posted to my Flickr page here for you:

Enjoy! I start out with what I responded to most at the show and then add additional shots for my geekier friends.

    Thanks for the photos Shelley!!

    I had read about this display in Makeup Artist Magazine and would have loved to see it. Alas I am on the wrong side of the Country.

    I agree that Rick baker is such a talent. There are alot of excellent makeup artists in the industry but you can always tell a Baker project. :)

    Take care have a great day!

    Thanks Chris, You would have loved the show in person. I actually found this fellow below had shot NEARLY every item in the show and posted them to his site, plus his camera was higher resolution, so perhaps you'd also like to look there:
