Rick Baker: Metamorphosis chronicles the career of the legendary special effects and makeup artist, best known for his creature effects and designs. These two-volumes, replete with more than 1,600 four-color images and original sketches, covers the makeup artist's 40-plus-year journey, from his early days as a young "monster maker," creating body parts in his parents' kitchen, to his more than 70 film and television credits, which resulted in seven Academy Awards, one Emmy, and three BAFTAs, among numerous others.

From the gory zombies of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the staggeringly lifelike Bigfoot in Harry and the Hendersons to the creative builds in Men in Black and the groundbreaking effects in An American Werewolf in London, Rick Baker's special effects, makeup, and prosthetics count among some of Hollywood's most enduring legacies.

"Not for the faint of heart, this two-volume retrospective of the Oscar-winning special makeup effects artist revisits his spookiest creations." --New York Times
