Welcome to Coatings College: Your Path to Success

Madden is a multifaceted life long artist. Traditional 2D training started at an early age, until he discovered his passion for sculpture. Having a love for theatre, film making and the horror genre, practical special effects artist was the perfect career path. In this field he learned a vast array of skill sets and materials along with techniques to achieve levels of realism that big studios demand for films. 

When his son was born, he and his wife decided to leave Los Angeles and their careers to be able to be more present for their child. Madden took the skills he had learned up to that point and pivoted into designing and prototyping in the toy and collectibles industry along with various carpentry and remodeling jobs. In 2020, he started working with epoxy in his remodeling work, and found a way to bring his artistic touch to his construction projects.

With having had years of experience with the same type of materials used in the decorative coatings industry and a unique approach focused on realism and artistry, Madden has shifted his focus to the coatings industry. Along with Bulletproof Resins, Ballistix and Coatings Central, he is innovating systems, methods of application and sharing the art theory he has developed over the years to achieve finishes that stand out and come with an undeniable wow factor.
