Dutch Bihary

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Dutch has been active in art in one form or another ever since he can remember. With experience in tattoo art, comic book illustration, face & body art, fine art, special effects makeup, sculpting, prosthetics, practical effects, large-scale murals, 3D chroma-depth attractions, and infrared thermography, Dutch brings a broad range of knowledge to his work and teaching.

His film experience includes makeup and effects in music videos, including "The Giving Tree" by the Plain White T's, and several indie films, including Zombies of Mass Destruction and The Houses October Built 2. Dutch was also a contestant on the first season of Skin Wars and returned as a celebrity mentor in its spin-off series Skin Wars: Fresh Paint.

Dutch has a reputation as a highly qualified and skilled teacher and is requested globally for his teachings at beauty colleges, art academies, and special effects schools, where he enjoys sharing his knowledge with up-and-coming, curious, like-minded artists, creators, and innovators.

When not traveling and teaching, Dutch subcontracts his services to a large-scale industrial sculpture fabricator, where he is the top sculptor/painter. He's done work for the Denver Zoo, Reed POP, casinos and museums, Magic Leap, and more.
