Thomas Hunter Lines

From exploration surveying since the age of 14 to Alaskan fishing, from surface rescue in the Canadian Navy to running his own recycling business in his hometown on Vancouver Island, Tom Lines has done it all. Yet, he always had an artistic talent. Seeing this, his parents signed him up early on for art lessons and by the age of 8 he entered his first art show.

Fascinated with horror movies and the art of illusion, Tom Lines developed a self-taught hobby of making prosthetics for his Halloween costumes. After one particular Halloween when he turned many heads (and scared children), he decided to turn his hobby and passion into his career. A recent graduate of the Blanche Macdonald Institute, he continues developing his knowledge of special effects makeup on the side. Tom counts his idols among Todd McIntosh and George Westmore.

Tom applies the four P's in regards to his work:
Personality, Passion, Professionalism and Persistence
