Rick has his first solo show of paintings opening May 10th at Copro Gallery https://www.copronason.com/, so I wanted to interview him as a painter and dark artist instead of the usual focus on his legendary career as a 7 time Academy Award winning makeup up effects creator (for films like "An American Werewolf in London", the "Men in Black" films, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" etc.) And while we do talk quite a bit about painting and dark art, we also talk plenty about the film industry and his long and storied career as well as lots of personal feelings about life in general. This interview was a dream come true for an monster kid like me, and Rick did not disappoint! You are gonna LOVE this one!
