Happy 100th Birthday Dick Smith!! June 26th 1922. He was one of the biggest inspirations to start my career 35 years ago. I made this portrait of him for his 80th birthday. I cannot believe it was 20 years ago. Group photo was from 1988 he invited me to join Japanese film he supervised, one with his figure was from 1995. He changed many lives for better. #dicksmith #dicksmithmakeup #specialeffectsmakeup https://www.instagram.com/p/CfUgO99pmRO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

During pandemic stay home period, I started to design mask that I can wear and work for long time. It was made on my 3d scanned face so it fitted without any digging on my face. I used to hold brush on my lips while holding and applying prosthetics so attached magnet on it so brush can stick on the mask so application go faster. I used Formlabs BioMed resin so it is safe on skin. #3dprinting #covid #mask #formlabs #resinprinting (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbyw-nHLpYM/?utm_medium=tumblr

He was always there when my life changed for better. He was the reason why I could start my career from 18 years old, worked with Akira Kurosawa, became teacher when the economy was horrible in Japan, Came to this country and worked for Rick Baker, connected me with many great artists and friends. And I wasn’t the only one who was so lucky to be included in his life. He had unconditional love to many artists. Things I learned from him were more than make up. He guided me through every tough time in my life. When I was doing make up, I was always thinking what Dick would think if he looked at what I had done. That was the way I judged my work for long time. Last lesson I learn from him was after he moved to LA, we were talking about life and what was great about and what he regret about. That helped me to push myself to change my life. And he kept teaching me as I was watching him passing away yesterday. He changed so many people’s life for better, and made them better human being. He showed how to live it. He was the real great classic American. I really miss him.

In 2014 July 30th. DICK Smith passed away. I posted a writing and it is good reminder how I felt and how I still feel about him. And I hope more people will know who he was. Writing was long. I need to separate in two post. ——-It is very sad that he passed away. I went through letters I received from him last night. The first one was dated July 6th 1987. I remember that his reply came less than 10 days after I sent him asking what would be the best way to start my career. It was impossible speed to correspond between Japan and America. I counted over 60 letters sent in 4 years, after that, our correspondence were done through fax and phone calls eventually through emails. His care for the fellow make up artists and the industry was filled with love and dedication. He created greatest standard that only a few could get near and he is still the best in it. He changed what "make up artist” mean to the world. There were many things that only he could do as an artist and as one human being to others. I have been fortunate to have great mentors in my life, he inspired and affected beyond anyone. His kindness and love was more than my real family. He gave me new life. I would not exist here now without him. He was the only few things I could be pride of myself. I considered him as God, guardian angel, father and a friend. We both had somewhat messed up family relationship and he supported me mentally. ( continue..)
