Raven Talks Emmy

This is a link to Raven (David Petruschin talking about getting the Emmy nod for his makeup work on RPDR.  Raven can sometimes be a bitch, but always a highly charming bitch. I will say this. I have never seen him be so emotional, humble, and open about something.

Then again, under the circumstances, how could he not be? He talks about how Mathu Andersen is his idol where makeup artists are concerned. He talks about how honored he felt when Mathu first noticed his skills and how they developed a friendship over the years. Andersen had told him that he if he ever reached a point to where he couldn't do Ru's makeup anymore, Raven was next in line. He felt honored but never thought too much about it past that.

That day finally came, and Raven was asked to step in. It was sudden and overwhelming. There were missteps. However, he was still asked to come back and now there is the Emmy nomination. It was quite clear that this is the last thing Raven ever expected.

The video is really beautiful. It's so neat to see someone's delight at being recognized for their work. It's lovely to see someone's joy at reaching such a level in their art. The video made me very happy.
