Ingenuity adds further depth to Viniello s skill set. The same artist, who single-handedly developed a new synthetic formula, has also run his own company, Artistic Innovation Studios, Inc. since 2004. Here, Viniello demonstrates the paradigm blend of innovator and manager, qualities that ensure his value in the challenging and rapidly evolving field of Special Makeup and Creature Effects.
