Dennis Preston

Dennis Preston has always been interested in art, ever since he got the Artist of the Month award in first grade. He was always drawing and sketching in school whenever he could. When Dennis finished high school, he set out to the American Academy of Art. Where he majored in Illustration, but that's not all he does. Knowing that the art world is tough and very competitive, Dennis decided to widen his expertise, become a jack of all trades, so to speak. But the one thing that he has always loved the most is horror films and special effects, so he decided that make up effects and filming would be his main focus. He took multiple classes at Kosart Effects Studios, learning from J. Anthony Kosar. Dennis now freelances, creating props and special effects makeup work for independent filmmakers in and around the Chicago area.
