Recent Stuff

For all of you that know me for the Comic Book Geek that I am, I can now say I worked on a Marvel film. It was only for a couple of weeks, but I just finished working on a set for Iron Man 2. I'm legally obligated not to say a word about it and before you ask, I did not see any of the stars.


Akiko and I went to the Huntington to see the Titan Arum or "Corpse Flower." It only blooms once every several years and when it does it only last for a couple of days and produces a rotting meat smell. The photo above was taken about a week before it bloomed.

We also spent a day at San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. We were really impressed with how much area these animals had to roam around in mingling with other species as they would in the wild in Africa.






We also took a behind the scenes tour and got to see this Cheetah up close. "Remember kids, stay behind the red line."


Look Out.... Behind You!!
They also had a temporary exhibit, Dino Mountain, with some nifty animatronic dinosaurs.

And what update would be complete without a pic of The Boys?

Ikon Flight

Here's a graphic I did for the Rico Bros. Disc Golf line, Ikon Flight.


Me drawing skulls, hmmm... who would have thought?

Land Of The Lost

I see Land Of The Lost didn't do so hot at the box office this weekend, but I did spend several months working on the sets.


This is the outside of the "home cave." We sculpted the entrance to match the one form the original TV series.


In progress shot of a set used throughout the film.


Close up of some of the rock work Dave Tye and I did.

Akiko and I saw the movie Saturday night and thought it was an entertaining movie for Will Ferrel fans. Goofy-fun with good CGI and a thumbs up for Chaka.

MONSTERPALOOZA '09

Finished a couple of weeks of sculpting on sets to be used on Michael Jackson's upcoming London concert tour. No, I did not see Michael and no, I cannot tell you what we built.
So, moving on....

This weekend, Akiko and I attended MONSTERPALOOZA. On display were some amazing sculptures of monster masks, heads and figures. Great stuff. Got to see Margot Kidder and a few icons of the genre.


Here I am with none other than Dr. Satan himself, Walter Phelan.


I've been caring around this photo of a tombstone I carved for Rob Zombie's House Of 1,000 Corpses and it finally paid off. Several years ago at a Comic-Con, I had gotten the signature of Bill Moseley (Otis) and this weekend got both Sid Haig (Captain Spalding) and Walter Phelan (Dr. Satan.)

Couple of shots from the Monster Museum.
