Juda has been working with costumes for over 20 years, starting with walk around characters from theme parks such as Disneyland, Disneyworld, Disney on ice, Universal Studios, Nickelodeon, Dreamworks, Warner Bros and NFL/MLB mascots. From working on gluing, sanding and painting furs to head finishing painting.
After working on walk around character costumes, Juda moved into the prop industry, as a local 44 IATSE member, working on major film and television productions as a painter of weapons, vehicles and anything that is not a part of a costume. Working on such shows as The Mandalorian Season 1&2, Book of Boba Fett, Obi Wan Kenobi, Wakanda Forever, Thor Love and Thunder, Spiderman no way home, Suicide Squad, Picard Season 1&2, Dune, Orville Season 3, She-Hulk, Falcon & Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Loki, Knives out The Glass Onion, Watchmen HBO, Westworld Season 2&3.
Now Juda is back in the costume industry, a Local 705 IATSE member as a Specialty Costume Manufacturer. Building and creating everything that involves molding, casting, sculpting, leather, painting etc. Anything that involves hard goods for a costume. Juda is a painter of any kind of surface and many different variations of paints, from polyurethane, acrylics to automotive. He has worked on The Mandalorian Season 3 and Ahsoka in the costume department. Painting has been a passion for Juda since a young teenage boy, and now getting to paint on some of the shows we all love, and millions of people get to watch, it has been an amazing journey for him as a painter.
