Danny Artese found the book "Making Faces" by makeup artist Kevin O'Quan incredibly inspiring. It featured makeup looks on famous women from the 90s, and O'Quan shared personal details about his life, growing up gay in a town that wasn't accepting and moving to New York City to pursue his dreams. This inspired Danny to experiment with makeup on others.
