To quote my copy of Rue Morgue:

Go behind the scenes with makeup effects artist Shannon Shea (The Monster Squad, Jurassic Park) as he recounts getting his start in the biz back in the 1980s. Regularly featuring on-set images from her personal collection, Shea offers a candid look at the craft of makeup effects that's sure to thrill fans and aspiring monster makers alike.

It's a really great blog. REALLY great. Lots of behind the scenes info and stories.

@GiveUpNed: Thanks for the link! I love the behind-the-scenes stuff from the insider perspective, without being filtered through PR and interviewers and the like. I'll definitely give this a read over the next few days.

No problem. Shea writes a column for Film School Rejects called Blood, Sweat and Latex. Shea links to his column sporadically to give an even deeper perspective on topics he is discussing in the blog post.
