Special Guest Bill Munns-Special Edition

Bill Munns was spotlighted on a Monster Quest episode in his analysis of the famous Patterson Gimlin film. Here are some quotes from his website: My “art” such as it is, started as a movie makeup artist when I was 20, and I quickly gravitated toward the “creature” side of the field, doing prosthetics, masks, and makeup effects. Occasionally the jobs were very fulfilling, but more often than not, small budgets and disorganized schedules prevented me from creating the kind of artistic quality I believed I was capable of. However, the skills I perfected doing film makeup and creatures were exacting in their nature, the kind of skills necessary for very realistic figures. So I chose to expand my artistic range by applying the ultra-realistic techniques of film prosthetic work to the scientific discipline of reconstructing prehistoric creatures from fossil records, as well as exploring a new form of wildlife art, whereby living creatures were recreated with the highest museum taxidermy quality appearance, but without having to rely upon the skin, hide, fur or other remains of a dead animal to make the figure.
