About this blog

Titanium - Follow Me on TikTok

I created Titanium to deal with the isolation of my cancer and my depression that came from my cancer. I'm a two-time survivor of bladder cancer. I was told that my chances of survival were low and the cancer might metastasize. Knowing I was facing chemotherapy, I was looking for ways to keep my spirit up, as I was sick for so long and alone. I became talented at creating this character and the smiles that came with it.

Prospective

@Tweety Bird I love this woman. ❤️ She said something to me today that change my point of view. Dont let my cancer ruin my Dec / Jan time. Look at it this way Titanium was already created before this date but his birthdate of being is December 31, 2023. Cancer might of created him but ive got to celebrate his life! Titanium is 2 years old already. Like I mention in my previous blog entry im a Phoenix rising from the ashes and going to enjoy what ive created, and what I still have!

Titanium aka Mopar1973Man one and the same

You might have all seen the change in my avatar to red hair. I've now past 2 years of daily makeup work when I leave the house. People still have issues understanding why? Do you all understand I've been a greasy mechanic since I was 14 years old? Yup, my life began with a desire to acquire tools and fix things as early as 14. So, for my life to change while having bladder cancer, I couldn't return to working on trucks in a commercial capacity. Even today, it pulls me down when I see a problem w

Christmas Holiday Blues / Happy Birthday Titanium

A lot of you don't understand why the makeup. I'll admit I fell apart last night; it's Christmas / New Year's again. Both of my bladder cancers came for Christmas. What most people don't get is the fact that what I love to do is out of my reach. Let's roll back the clock and understand that as a kid at the 14 years old I was gifted a socket set (Craftsman) and fell in love with mechanical things. I was building go-karts and mini-bikes with friends. I was fixing lawn mowers and small single-cylin

Makeup artistry

Now, to speak up on another fact. Just because I've changed my appearance with makeup and hair, it typically doesn't make me less knowledgeable. My typical day is that if I'm planning on going to town, I'll always do my makeup work before I leave. I was referred by a local repair shop in McCall (Sharlies Auto Repair) to a Cummins owner for tuning his Quadzilla. Even on a day like that, I was dressed up and rolled to this client's house to chat with him about tuning and getting his truck ready fo

Titanium Live on TikTok

Today I was stuck inside the house being its raining here in Idaho. While the mornings are cold here, I was checking back on a few videos near Christmas time. Sadly, I saw a few artists who were having a rough start to getting the Goth/Emo/Alt makeup. Either being laughed at or just treated poorly by people on the streets or at school. I'm going on 3 years of makeup artistry that I've self-taught. @Tweety Bird asked me to get the new weather station set up and working. I needed a 4x4x12 to get i

Fire in the Eyes

This is one of my first attempts at blending many colors evenly. This case told me she was going to wear green. Christmas colors, so I went to the wild side and took the fire-red wig and makeup to boot. I've been watching several makeup artists explain how they blend colors. Now, I'm combining the artwork I currently do with the tapered color down each side of my nose and outward toward the outside of my eyebrows. Since getting her eye surgery and correcting her vision, that is a huge blessing a

Titanium story continues

Titanium's story continues in public. I've got followers all over the place. At Starbucks coffee in McCall, the two gals who work there started to ask questions about my appearance with my colored wigs and makeup. When I was done explaining the story of my cancer, they both were impressed with my ideas of heading towards a Goth/Emo/Alt appearance. While I was still in the Albertson store, which has Save-On Drugs and the Starbucks coffee, two kids stopped me to tell me they loved my hair color. C

Meet Stormy Rose.

This was so awesome. I ran into a older couple that shared photos of their son and all the stellar comments. Their son did the whole punk theme, mohawk hair, and in blue green color. Checked out of the store with our groceries to run into Stormy Rose, she is a young artist who started her own version of Goth makeup, very impressive artwork for even her age, super cool interaction.

Titanium goes to town

@Tweety Bird and myself were not feeling well last night, so we slept long and hard. I got up this morning and she was requesting I head to town and get hamburger buns, and we would have something simple to eat for today. As usual, my local people know me and always love the makeup and the effect it brings to people. A couple of the female store employees have colored their hair green and purple. I always give people compliments about their appearance, and I always get right back as well. As f

Off to see the insurance company

Yes, I'm off to McCall, ID, to meet with my insurance agent and review the actual insurance policy, word for word. Just to give me a boost today, I went a bit more like Clown Goth. I've a few other stops today, including picking up medications and doing some other shopping. I've got several fans in McCall who enjoy my makeup work and love the reactions of people. Oh, check out the gallery photos. I've got a new shirt. Gotta keep building my character up. I'm hunting for a second shirt, but still

Boise & Medical

Here is am taking a road trip down Tuesday for medical for both @Tweety Bird and myself handling my Cronic Kidney Disease. Yeah my cancer might be over but I'm still with health issues. Yesterday I was dressed up similar to today's pictures. My nurse sure enjoy chatting with me and wondering why the make up. Something about having radioactive material injected into you and watch you kidneys light up on a X-ray screen then watch them drain into my ostomy in realtime. Yeah that test was super cl

Titanium, wows people for breakfast!

@Tweety Bird and I needed to run out and take care of a few things. I hopped in the shower and got cleaned up, and with fresh, clean skin and shaved, I started doing my makeup for the day. I did standard black makeup and wore my blue wig. Nothing fancy by any means but I've wowed another store worker today. @Tweety Bird and I stopped to get breakfast out, which I know of an awesome place for breakfast burritos. Old Towne Market has a small cafe in the back of the store. The gal working there I k

Business side

I made a trip down to Nampa to my fiance's place. The next day I was hopping from salvage yard to salvage yard. I was on a mission to find the next bed for Thor. Even while I was out looking for a truck bed in the salvage yard I was still in hair and makeup. The fiance wanted to come along. She was wearing an orange dress to complement her I opted for the orange tone on my eyelids. Even the shirt which I don't need to repeat in text. You have no idea how much this really does bring more helpful

A day to play with green!

Yesterday was Sunday. I wanted to keep up with my makeup artistry, work with my white face foundation, and try a few tricks. It's not my best work, but it was an improvement compared to some of the other white face makeup I've done. I've added Mehron setting powder to set the white base and pull the extra moisture out of the body paint. Green is a tough color to work with being I've got very little in a green powder palette to do my eyeshadow. Then working with green lipstains is interesting, to

Introducing Titanium

Let me introduce you to Titanium my other character I've created to deal with my cancer. Yes, I've had bladder cancer twice. The first one was on December 27th, 2019. I went in to have a cancerous tumor removed from my bladder covering my right ureter. Fast forward 4 years to December 17th 2023, and back in again to see my entire bladder consumed in cancer, and doctors were uncertain if I would survive. Now that I've been 6 months clean, I'm happy, but I still have kidney issues. My right kidney
