THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2024 • 55 Amber Chardae Robinson as Virginia Vonda Morris (right) sculpting the brand for David Oyelowo (left) and touching up Oyelowo (below) L-R: David Oyelowo and Tosin Morohunfola as Jackson "Jackrabbit" Cole Barry Pepper as Esau Pierce arrived. I transformed my trailer into the Wild West by decorating it with a western theme. Not only did I hang Bass Reeves' pictures, I also covered the walls of the make-up trailer with vintage-looking outlaw photographs of each cast member, which included talent that I truly respect and admire. Bringing the Bass Reeves story to life was an unforgettable and cherished experience and I'm extremely proud of what the team and I accomplished. I send my praise and thanks to each of them for their unwavering cohesion and dedication. It resulted in superb authenticity. Special thanks to Dental Prosthetic Specialist Gary Archer, Autonomous FX for their prosthetics, much gratitude to my amazing core team, key make-up artist Parra omas, assistant make- up artist Christian Bailey-Gains, and SFX make-up artist Alyssa Hudson, whose impeccable abilities to execute with excellence made our collective success possible. I'm also very honored to have been recognized with a stand-alone screen credit as make-up designer for my original make-up process and prosthetics designs and remain blessed by David Oyelowo for his continued creative collaboration. •
