I always wanted to make aliens that looked like '60s aliens.

When I do a mask, I do try to put a lot of character and a lot of expression into the sculpt.

So many of my dreams were to actually be able to make a living of what I did as a hobby.

So many people of my generation all grew up with that shock theater package on television of 'Frankenstein,' 'Wolfman,' 'Dracula,' 'Mummy,' all the Universal stuff.

I have always tried to stay current.

There's a limit to what I can do with a makeup or with animatronics.

I wanted to make sure to always stay current, try to find new material and stay with the modern techniques.
