Leaning against a parked Harley-Davidson chopper, a woman wearing nothing but inked images gestures toward the doorway of the Living Art Tattoo Parlor. This was the concept of a piece I created in 1985, in the unique art form known as Shadowbox Diorama.

One of my all-time favorite animation projects was the 1989 production of STANLEY AND THE DINOSAURS, directed by John Clark Matthews. Besides animating half of the show, I also sculpted many of the characters, including a tribe of 10 cave people and a juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex. The clay sculpture was the basis of each character, however it was only part of the collaborative process of creating stop-motion puppets for this movie.READ AND SEE MORE...
