Thanks dude. Yeah Dan is extremely talented. He's moved on to bigger things for sure. I believe he is involved in the digital modeling for the the Game of Thrones dragons. I was just talking to someone about how crazy the talent was that went through McFarlane's doors over the years. It's such a small world. I currently sit right next to Steve Lord who sculpted Frazetta's "Dark Kingdom ". He's one of the most talented classically trained sculptors I've ever worked with. And he has actually guided me a bit with with my work on the Death Dealer. But just in the time I went through McFarlane I've had the honor of working with these people. (and more)
Jean St Jean - My original supervisor. The guy has sculpted more stuff for DC than anyone else I could name. Google him. It's mind blowing
Mike Locascio - Probably the fastest wax sculptor I've ever known. Now runs an awesome macabre home décor studio selling tons of stuff through Etsy. Again, go look him up
Alex Heinke - Again an incredibly talented classically trained sculptor. Now a senior sculptor at NECA. Also teaches sculpture studios part time in the NY NJ area.
Brian Fay - My longtime room mate and closest friend from the old McFarlane days. He's now sculpting at Blizzard. He's done several incredible freelance sculpts for over the years including the Sideshow Darth Vader Mythos statue. I'm still envious of his ability to sculpt beautiful drapery.
Dave Silva - Now a senior sculptor at NECA and is very active in the GK scene. I've done Monsterpalooza, Wonderfest, and Resintopia with him. He owns a little company called Creative Beast. His dinosaur sculpts are second to none. He also worked at Hasbro for a bit.
Craig Campbell - Now at WETA
Adam Ross - This guy spearheaded much of the digital stuff that we got in to. A real pioneer as far as that goes. He also freelanced for Sideshow for a longtime before settling in the LA area and working at several VFX studios. He's also a motorhead so we got along.
And of course Ed and Andy Frank - The two brothers that have basically guided the company artistically over the years. Between the two of them, they have developed some of the most ground breaking methods of sculpting and painting imaginable. And it's hilarious no one knows who they. These are the guys Todd picked to more or less run his company. They are the unsung heroes. Todd footed the bill and provided the license. But without these two guys . . . it wouldn't have happened.
