It's been a long time since our last update, but I think we have something that will make up for lost time. 

For years now, we've been wanting to produce a Tribute Kit to the late great sculptress Millicent Patrick.



For those that don't know millicent worked for both Disney (where she was the first ever female animators, and at Universal Studios. 

During her time at Universal Studios, the studio produced their most notable creations of the '50s science fiction boom, but just precisely what her contributions may have been to those films has been largely muddled since Westmore's tirade. According to magazine articles and newspaper accounts that predate the Westmore flap, Milicent Patrick designed the Xenomorph for It Came from Outer Space (1953), the Gill Man (Creature from the Black Lagoon ), the Metaluna mutant for This Island Earth (1954), and was a mask maker on Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953) and The Mole People (1956); a glut of ghastly creations with which any self-respecting monster maker would be proud to be associated.

Her exile from the Universal make-up department brought an end to a promising aspect of her career, and forever clouded the details of her efforts while on Westmore's staff.

We want in our own small way to honor her, and correct the injustice  she was treated with, so we're finally creating our tribute kit. 

What you see below are just some work in progress shots of the piece we're creating. 

Enjoy.
