Born in Vancouver, Canada, Conor McCullagh moved frequently as a child, living in South Africa for a time.  At age 16, during a high school ceramics class, Conor discovered Fangoria magazine, and realized he could make more than clay pots and vases—he could make 3D monsters.  He taught himself to make a mold, and the rest is history.  He spent 14 years in Los Angeles, working for theme parks and apprenticing under John Caglione Jr., the Academy Award winning makeup artist for Dick Tracy.  Conor eventually made his way into feature films and television.  Conor has worked on the series The Vampire Diaries, and currently he teaches full time at Joe Blasco Makeup School.
