Creature Circus at Salvage Vanguard

Jason Vines and Katie McKinney: Two artists working in Austin’s special-effects industry, creating creatures from scratch or from the faces and bodies of living human actors – for stages shows, for parties, for video, for film. “Creature Circus,” a photo-exhibition of their work, is up at Salvage Vanguard Theatre’s lobby gallery through July 11th. This gallery of images, courtesy of photographer Steve Rogers, is from the show’s opening reception on Sunday, June 21st. PICTURED HERE: The demonic Cole Butler with his visage’s creator, Jason Vines.
