I really hope that someday I can be something that many people look up to. Someone who made it against all odds and inspire others to keep going. But these last few weeks I’ve really felt like giving up. Staying sober is a battle in itself. Chasing success is just added pressure. I don’t have parents to bail me out - so when the checks don’t come shit gets real. I hope I can push through the demons and existential issues and create soon. #artist #queer #depression #sobriety #anxiety #tryingmybest #somedays #tattooed #guyswithtattoos #mullet #blackandwhitephoto #taylorhorne #iwannabearolemodel #givingup #iquit #askingforhelp (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CITgEgjAcgY/?igshid=rdo3ncsf4uov

Here’s another demasking vid. To be honest I’m feeling a little lost lately. I work really hard on these looks and this pandemic has really made me struggle financially. It’s frustrating because I feel like I’ve really been on a consistent upswing as far as quality with my content during lockdown and it just doesn’t seem to go anywhere. The algorithm on this shopping app really only shows my work to 10% of you. I don’t have a family I can go home to and eat their food and sleep in my childhood bedroom. I’m not bitter about it. I’ve had to really build the life I have now. I really have put everything I have into this hoping I would earn a platform where I can help people. Idk this is a rant and I’m just having a rough time. I just want you all to really know the the misfit you see who creates these dark and weird visuals is actually who I am. I’m not someone dabbling in darkness. I’m a person who has survived a lot and I’m trying to channel it into good. I’m grateful for each and every one of you who look forward to what I create or who message me and say I inspired you. I realize I am very fortunate. But sometimes the crawling through glass I’ve done since I was a teen really weighs heavy on me. #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #queerness #artist #thisisntjustart #artistherapy #specialeffectsmakeup #sfx #sculpt #prosthetics #blueman #spacex #imdoingmybest #sobriety 🎥 @jakeorlanzo (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIGy63fg4yY/?igshid=e8fxsraorr5t

Designing #planetx I want to try to convey my passion for landscapes, or terrain in the world of set design since it is kind of my corner of the industry and something I do better than a lot of my peers. Set Design is so often regarded as a last minute piece of tinsel added to a project and I want to talk about how the outcome of a project is greatly improved when the set is regarded as an integral part of the story. In designing “Planet X” it was very clear from the beginning that my work and opinion was respected. I was given basically free-rein within the concept and that’s why the set looks the way it does. The love and passion I brought to the table is richly represented in the details of what I created. The reason I write all this - is because I want people to see me as a real artist and for my POV to be valid in the same way that photography is. Regardless of whether I am doing the set or creative direction. I am so often untagged, uncredited, and unthanked and I want change the landscape around set design and make people see that I literally create a sculpture and world for a team to play in. Thank you for all the love on this project. I really do appreciate all the messages seriously. I know I say this EVERY TIME. But I am a queer punk kid from PA haha and someone willing to put me on a plane is wild to me. @lilnasx for @highsnobiety Set and inversion setup by @taylorhornestudio Photo - @adrienneraquel Fashion - @coreytstokes Producer - @williamgalusha Hair - @braid_artistry Makeup - @christinaguerra Shot at - @hubblestudio #setdesign #creativeequals #credittheartist #creditthecreators #lilnasx #lanscapes #terrain #sand #rocks #outerspace #spacex #artist #creativedirector #setdesigner #queerartist (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHyBGSuAUnX/?igshid=17qewx7ooa9fy

#planetx is out!!!! @highsnobiety This was wild! When @hannahhuffy asked me to design a planet for @lilnasx I immediately thought with someone so progressive, how rad it would be if I could get him into a @spacex helmet. It seemed like a pipe dream but I called them and somehow convinced them to give us access to one of the most protected pieces of tech. A lesson in believing in yourself. Thank you @hannahhuffy for flying me to LA and letting me do what I want as always. Thank you @williamgalusha for talking me off the ledge when traffic was making me crazy as I drove around with a pickup truck full of rocks.

Dead Danny and Sandy from Grease. This year has been really nuts, but it was so meaningful to me that @kewlshrek and I got to celebrate Halloween the only way we know how 🎃. This is what we consider “basic couple concept” which is why we thought it was funny. We laughed and then said “they have to be dead right?” makeup inspired by @lucasbavid self portrait. Thanks @jakeorlanzo for pressing the camera button. #halloween #grease #lucasdavid #makeup #costume #couplescostume #grease #dannyzuko #sandraDee #sandy #tellmeaboutitstud #mehron #spooky #makeuptutorial (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHEJGvegGeH/?igshid=nwb2bhuzojnp

Swipe for stills 🔪 Me as #edmundtolleson from #ratched for @mrrpmurphy ‘s #aratchedhalloween costume contest. This has been a really gratifying project as someone who has always dreamed of being in Ryan Murphy’s cinematic universe. So thanks for letting me pretend! I did this all myself. The makeup, the video, the stills. It took me 3 days to hand paint and make the straight jacket and mask. It’s fully practical and functional and I’m very proud of it. I really wanted to put my all into this, to really challenge myself and put all my skills out there. Not just as an artist but an actor. I have always been inspired by the humanity of dark and broken characters, and find beauty in them. The idea of @mssarahcatharinepaulson judging this too is so crazy because I respect her so much and am constantly blown away by her 😬 #halloween #makeup #acting #cinematic #greenscreen #actor #taylorhorne #sfx #halloweencostume #finnwittrock #oneflewoverthecuckoosnest (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlg4HOAoAA/?igshid=1k0thogzn483y

The mask is coming off! This is probably the most #proshetics I’ve worn and the biggest transformation. I made this full face appliance. Sculpted by hand. Not much makeup here but what I used is @mehronmakeup #creamblendstick in black for my eyes and mouth. Also mehron’s stage blood in “dark venous” My sculpts are getting better 😈 Video by @jakeorlanzo #halloweencostume #halloween #makeup #sfx #taylorhorne #arttheclown #allhallowseve #horror #queerartist #queericons #acting #makeuplooks #makeuptutorials #photoshoot (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGgJgGHgVgC/?igshid=12j822nj0oi9o

New Art Direction & Set featuring the iconic @dominiquet.a.r.jackson for @lofficielitalia. When @saloniagarwalphoto asked me to help her celebrate this incredible human I jumped at the chance. A magical moment on set happened when I said to Dominique, “thank you for trusting me to tell your story.” And she said “don’t do that. This is our story.” And it truly shook me. In my career thus far I have had such incredible moments of meeting people that I admire so much and being able to speak to them as equals.
